THIS DAY WITH THE '05 OVERACHIEVERS: Wednesday 27th July 2005 saw the Nats drop the second of a three-match series at Atlanta, 4-3...starring Jeff Francoeur, a noted tormentor from the Nats' early years...record now 55-46...

Very disappointing result yesterday, although I'm actually a bit surprised the Nats didn't have their let-down Thursday after making such short work of the Mets (finally beating Dickey!)...I suppose too that the Brewers players were relieved to finally have the Greinke soap opera behind them (the story broke a few hours before first pitch) and may have played with a bit more jump as a result (and that pitcher who started yesterday, though a bit of a late bloomer, is supposed to be very promising)...let's hope JZimm brings us a win in front of his homefolks.
