...the Diamondbacks, it must be remembered, were our first-ever home opponent...has a potential rivalry opportunity been overlooked by our marketing people?

The Nationals have a Marketing Department?

A real Nats fan wants him to pitch like Cy Young.

In the same way you want Matt Stairs to turn into an All-Star?

Of course they do - they know how to market Nats home matches to Philadelphians, don't they?

Every AB I want him to hit a homer, until they cut him.

It pisses me off that Nix is on the bench.

Same. It makes absolutely zero sense. Nathan is right - He is the new Morse. Screw the SSS of Nix vs LHP.

So he plays Ankiel instead?

EdStroud · « **Reply #60 on:** June 02, 2011, 08:45:31 pm »

Ankiel is 5 for 8 .625 vs Duke lifetime

Nix has never faced Duke

I've met Zach Duke, he's a nice guy. He signed my Pirates Italian Day hat.

SF truly believes in reverse psychology.

Is that what we're calling it these days?

I mean yea, it makes no sense. The title of Morse is perfect for him. I didn't know Ankiels lifetimes vs Duke though.

Tiny sample size, and Nix is on fire.

I'm not saying Nix should play every day, but he hasn't been, he was off Tuesday.

No that's why I said I didn't know Ankiels numbers vs Duke. I mean he does hit him so tonight makes sense to start Ankiel but overall Nix should not be sitting on the regular like this.

Bob Melvin can still suck the sweat off a dead donkey's sack for plunking Castilla instead of pitching to him with the cycle on the line.

Anyone watching the Cardinals-Giants game? It looks like Wednesday Marlins day game at Nats Park.

Riggs could have sat the Shark for Nix
