Time to be the stopper Stras.

Don't get swept.

CALSGR8 · « **Reply #5:** May 20, 2012, 11:52:41 AM »

Jason Chimera to throw out first pitch today. No Way we get swept with Stras on the mound. Lets go Nats!

Espi starts over Lombo?

NatsTheFats · « **Reply #7:** May 20, 2012, 12:25:40 PM »

Espi leading off?

Really?

I thought Davey moved him down in the lineup to lessen the pressure! I guess sitting on the bench cause you suck equates to leading off the next game?

GburgNatsFan · « **Reply #8:** May 20, 2012, 12:26:27 PM »

I think it equates to motivation and then direct competition.

Not that I think it matters all that much. But we can hope that Danny got an eyeful of Lombo putting the ball in play yesterday, and that with his slight advantage in power, he'll hit harder line drives.

I thought Davey moved him down in the line up to lessen the pressure! I guess sitting on the bench cause you suck equates to leading off the next game?

Or swing and miss harder

Yes. The more likely outcome.

Exactly

Kentucky_National · « **Reply #12:** May 20, 2012, 12:56:07 PM »

The fact that Espinosa is hitting leadoff crushes all hope I have for a win today. Going to take a shutout from Stras I think.

zimm_da_kid · « **Reply #13:** May 20, 2012, 01:10:50 PM »

we need to win today. we ARE NOT getting swept by the freaking oreos

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #14:** May 20, 2012, 01:35:19 PM »

Stras better be on point today. It's going to be a hot mother freaker out there, no excuses. Get it done

PANatsFan · « **Reply #15:** May 20, 2012, 01:35:22 PM »

395N was a freaking disaster. I had to get off at the 14th St bridge to go home.

Should be a very, very big crowd. I'm going to nap rather than watch this crapshow, however.

mitlen · « **Reply #16:** May 20, 2012, 01:39:46 PM »

There goes the no hitter.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #17:** May 20, 2012, 01:40:01 PM »

Must be nice to have a leadoff guy that can get on-base.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #18:** May 20, 2012, 01:40:04 PM »

Avery owns the Nats. Why can't we ever have a CFer like that? Bernadina should be what he is but he isn't.

Game.

Lucky that ball wasn't gone. Hanging up in the zone and Hardy just missed it

avery caught harp off gaurd

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #23:** May 20, 2012, 01:42:53 PM »

Harper has made a ton of mental mistakes lately.

mitlen · « **Reply #24:** May 20, 2012, 01:42:55 PM »

Harp looks like Rocky Raccoon.
