UNLEASH THE LANNIMAL~!

John Edward Lannan, this is your life. This is your chance to flourish in the biggest start of your career. The man who beat out Lannan in Spring Training to become the fifth start, BIG ROSS, had the worst start of his career yesterday afternoon. This is Lannan's chance to prove to everyone that, unlike BIG ROSS, he flourishes when the lights are on bright.

DO IT FOR WIL CORDERO
DO IT FOR JUNIOR SPIVEY
DO IT FOR JASON SIMONTACCHI
DO IT FOR ROB DIBBLE'S BROADCAST CAREER
DO IT ELIJAH DUKES' POT DEALER
DO IT FOR LASTINGS MILLEDGE

We suffered a setback yesterday afternoon. Setbacks are a part of life, and we learned that yesterday. Yesterday is now in the past. It's time for the Nationals to flourish and claim the NL East!

In other words, don't expect to always be great. Disappointments, failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say 'we have a problem, let's go and get it'. - Colin Powell

Let's go LANNAN!

Bringing my radio to the game so hopefully I can hear Charlie & Dave freak out if we clinch. I hope they go nuts. I will be.

Ignore the pressure, Meech. Just remember that the entire town is depending on you to bring home a victory and the first pennant or division win since 1933.

This is my first day of unemployment in 38 years. I'm freakin' ready for this one. Let's whip some Phillie ass.

This is your chance to replace EJ as he will not be re-signed next year.

Ryan Howard broke toe when he dropped pipe he swings in on deck circle. @Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said he won't play again this year.

Nats fans, tonight is the night we've been waiting for (some of us for a very long time). But it's just the beginning. Clinching a playoff spot was but the first baby step. Tonight we take another leap. Tonight the Nats put the NL East division on stranglehold.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but I did.

As did I. The only thing I'd change is that it was Chase Utley. And that it was a piano instead of a pipe. And that it was dropped from a great height. And that he died.

Other than that, I'd keep it the same.

Davey Johnson now says his preference would be to get the NL's top seed and have Gio start it on Sunday.

Yes, we need that top seed.

RT @ToddZolecki: Phillies haven't named a starter for Tuesday. Dubee said it's "Johnny Wholestaff." It's a bullpen game, in other words.

Good for us, I think. Their bullpen has owned us though.

Starting to spit rain down here at the park and the radar does not look promising.
