Mattheus is channeling Saul Rivera

Well, at least, this means we'll play tonight's game with urgency, right?

...and hopefully a Major League lineup...

We should be that fortunate.

I'm sure Williams is working on a pep speech right now.

[Slateman]

They didn't use their worst relievers.

Neither did we.

In fact, Tyler Clippard is on the hook for the loss

Welp, Mattheus just played himself off the roster.

Hannah the rally Kitty...another of ours. 



Not sure I have a picture of our other one...Gizmo...

Pretty sure he wasn't eligible. Not like he had a realistic shot of getting on there any way. He might have played himself out of the farm system for next year though.

Edit: Unless that's what you meant. I suck at reading today. I thought you said playoff roster.

I don't think I've ever heard Matt Williams say, "We didn't play well."  It would be nice to hear it once.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Send up Teddy to pinch hit.

[natsarl]

Yeah, we didn't play well, but its only one game.  You'd think we just lost 8 of 9 or something.

Nah you had it right.  I didn't realize he probably wasn't eligible.  Either way, you're prob right about the farm system too.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

he was eligible if he was in the system.  could have been a dl replacement.

We need 2 wins in 6 (well now probably 5) games to get home field advantage, and that's if LA sweeps Colorado.

outside of Tyler Clippard (all star reliever) the team played well. Treinen got ground balls and the Nationals scored four runs.

Comeback time!

btw - like FP mentioning the solid arms in the NL east and saying Diekman and Giles, not Papelbon.

Nice hit, jose.

Yea, I'm not sure if that's a step forwards or backwards..

[Slateman]

Lol, "Be a base hitter"
