I also want to put in a plug for people who don't nag about anything other than other people nagging about something.

I like to to nag about people that nag about people that nag.

One example of where he's willing to step out on a limb with his commentary was last night, while the game was still tied, when he talked about how devastating it could be to the Nats to lose that game. Even though it was only game 4, because of the recent history of dominance that the Marlins have over the Nats, and the poor game that the Nats were coming off of against the Braves, he thought it was a crucial test for them. He did not back down from that comment, and try to minimize it, after the Nats blew the game.

I recall these comments and remember thinking at the time that he was right on target and it was refreshing to hear.

Then he'll have to nag about the people that nag about the people that nag about the people that nag.

I'll be honest FP is so quiet and smooth compared to Dibble last year that I have trouble paying attention to him. I'll make a conscious effort to do so tonight so that we can settle this debate once and for all

So you're saying some people here aren't happy unless they have something to nag about?

Bada-bing, bada-boom. That's Italian, I think. Or I could say it's their raison d'etre if I wanted to say it in French.

I understand the need to vent, but it does wear you down after a while. And it's probably why the Sunshine Squad (Charter Member) probably overcompensates.

I like FP a lot. Sometimes he's a little over the top with praise for guys that don't deserve it. But he brings insights to the game way above and beyond what Dibble brought. And he does it without sounding like a jerk.

Nothing against Santangelo per se, but this will be a season where I return to listening to music during games like I did back when Darling was in the booth.

Rob Dibble needs to check his information, or mis-information. Strasburg's dad did not, and has not ever emailed anyone in the Lerner family about Mr. Dibble, his comments after Stephen's injury, or anything else. So maybe Mr. Frazier needs to issue a retraction as well on his comments that Rob Dibble is one that tells the truth. Well in fact, Mr. Dibble just wants to be heard and just makes things up. And how do I know this. I am Stephen's Dad.

I can't stand Dibble and I'm glad he's gone, but if that really is Strasburg's dad, then I believe what Dibble said.

No way do I find it hard to believe he's emailing the Lerners about Dibble if he's contesting Dibble in Examiner comments.

No thanks. I never want to see or hear Dibble ever again if I can help it. I think he is a bombastic, arrogant bore who was known for being a hotheaded dumbass when he played and it showed when he announced.

I wish the guy would just act like a professional and shut up. I mean who goes around badmouthing their former employers.

Here's more from Dibble:

------------
“And it had nothing to do with the game he got hurt in Philly. He had a sold-out game against the Braves, and the people I worked with at MASN were excellent, we followed his workout regimen — which was fantastic. His warm-up was fantastic. He didn’t do any of that the day that he basically walked away from that Braves start, which was sold-out. And all the money that the Nationals were making per start on Strasburg was well over seven figures. So to me, you know what kid, you’ve got to suck it up.”

I was actually at that game not far away from Strasburg when he was "warming up". I thought at the time "gee, he looks like he's dragging ass and not really looking like he wants to be here today". He just didn't seem to be getting ready like in his other starts. After a couple of minutes he walked away and they announced Miguel "The Poet" Batista was going to pitch that night. Some guy next to me (that drove down from Rhode Island) was so freaking pissed off and ranting "err ah, this uh, this uuuuuuh this uh would never happen with my Saaaaaaaaaaaawx."
