Nationals @ Cardinals, Game 1

[mitlen]

This game is not on Davey though. He freaked up several times in that 10-9 game. Tonight's blame falls squarely on Edwin Jackson.

Yep  ...   batting practice

[NatsAllThe Way]

Have you ever seen a starter give up 9 runs in 1.1 innings and REMAIN IN THE GAME!!?>?

Worst pitching performance in Nats History?

How does this happen to a team that is fighting for a division title?  I thought we got Jackson for his big game ability?  Up in smoke.

I don't get it either. I expect play like this from a team playing out the string but from a team 3 games away from clinching the division?? Edwin Jackson isn't worth a crap. I'd put Ross over him in the postseason rotation but then again Ross has been shaky a little bit too.

We are the coldest team heading into the NL playoffs.

Finally Davey!

Too little, too late.  This game was over in the first.

WORST PITCHING PERFORMANCE IN NATIONALS HISTORY!!!

Speaking of that 10-9 loss (9 run blown lead), who here didn't think that one wouldn't come back to bite us.  That game could be the difference.

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Game will end 6-9, book it.

It's close. I know Livan Hernandez had some really bad ones but this one is the freshest so I'll go with a resounding YES!

Worst pitching performance in Nats History?

With the stakes as high as they are I think that would be a fair statement. And of course tomorrow he may be outdone by Jordan Zimmermann who has never beaten the Cardinals in 3 games started. Zimmermann is 0-2 with an 8.62 ERA vs St. Louis. They are going to light him up.

What the heck happened to Jackson tonight ?  ( just tuning in)

[CALSGR8]

Os beating Sox 9-1

It's close. I know Livan Hernandez had some really bad ones but this one is the freshest so I'll go with a resounding YES! 

Jason Marquis had a really bad one, I remember.

He sucked.  6 hits, 4 walks in 1.1 innings.  Some bad defense behind him too.

Yup, that game cost us 2 games in the standings. We'd have a 6 game lead.

Jackson had a stinker against Houston at Nats Park back in May. 5 runs in the first, I believe.

[sportsfan882]

Homer Bailey no hitter through 8 innings

And to think that the Braves get to beat up on the Pirates after they are done with the crappy Mets.

[lastobjective]

Let's go Bryce.

leadoff double for Daniel Murphy in the 7th

[rileyn]

Jason Marquis had a really bad one, I remember.

Marquis had a game against the Brewers before he went on the DL where he didn't retire anybody before being removed.  The Brewers score 10 runs in the first inning.

Full on panic mode every night in this thread

Yep.  Not good.

Ah, I remember that one.  Well I guess tonight comes in a close second.

DEfinitely.
