I hope LaRoche broke Henry's arm on that collision.

dude, you need medicated.

Charlie Slowes: "That is absolutely embarrassing."

...and there you have the 2013 Nationals in a nutshell...

[nats2playoffs]

Embarrassing!!!

That's what Charlie & Dave just said.  Just letting him steal.

How fitting that Espinosa will get to make the final out tonight since he's due up third.  We're facing a struggling closer, but that won't matter.

All of these guys are just waiting for the game to end, so they can go back to the hotel and enjoy some #steak, and tweet jokes at each other all night before they get their asses handed to them tomorrow.

JJ will mow us down in the 9th. At least 2 Ks.

[sportsfan882]

Runners are 8/8 in stealing bases vs HRod this year.

37/39 in his career.

[Terpfan76]

Hopefully Jim Johnson goes all Jim Jones and they kill themselves.

H Rod has a lot of faults, but he's been putting up as many zeros these days as any other reliever it seems.

[ajcartwright]

looking forward to
hearing Ray Knights take on this
hope he is honest

[nats2playoffs]

Just wait for the 9th. Jim Johnson has been struggling more than any closer in baseball... You know he'll dominate in a 1-2-3 inning.

1. O's closer Jim Johnson is on my fantasy team.
2. I'm playing MarquisDeSade this week, who has the best record in the WNFF league, and won it the last 2 years.  He's up 3-0 on Saves so far.
3. I started this GDT and have a losing record YTD.
4. Davey Johnson is secretly rooting for "his" Orioles.
5. H-Rod is in line to be the winning pitcher, if the Nationals score big.
 
Every reverse jinx in play now.

[sportsfan882]

Davey will tip his cat to the Birds and will downplay the loss and say he's encouraged they keep swinging the hot bats.

[RobDibblesGhost]

H Rod has a lot of faults, but he's been putting up as many zeros these days as any other reliever it seems.

He is definitely not among the worst of our problems right now.

Where are the fan police now?

Watching exhibition soccer.

James Wagner ‏@JamesWagnerWP 14s
Nats send Tracy, Suzuki and Espinosa up against closer Jim Johnson, who has blown four of last five chances & has a 21.60 ERA in last six.

there's one out.

Watching exhibition soccer.

It sucks because the Braves have been losing but we cant take advantage.

[RobDibblesGhost]

With Espinosa batting this inning, we only get two outs and one of them has already been recorded.

[sportsfan882]

It sucks because the Braves have been losing but we cant take advantage.

Could have cut the deficit to 3.5 games and been feeling pretty good about ourselves heading into tomorrow and the Braves series but nope.

[GMUTrkstar]

So have the Os just taken over the feed MASN & MASN2 seem to be featuring mostly Os content now.

[tomterp]

there's one out.

Thank you for that update.   

[sportsfan882]

Suzuki takes a curve for strike 3. lol

[RobDibblesGhost]

We've totally bent over for the crappy Orioles bullpen.  Embarrassing.

[Displaced Bucco]

You know, Carp was absolutely right about the fan base...look at OPACY right now

[sportsfan882]

I feel like we were robbed of a win tonight. We should be about to celebrate a great victory right now. What a freaking joke.
