These late games are going to kill me

Even with a four-man outfield I don't like our chances the way Greinke killed us last time.

[Mr Clean]

Harper out.

[NatNasty]

Whoops, thought I had crossed him out.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Harper out.

Harper's not even playing and he's out?  Freakin' umps have it out for him.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Mets pitching is so good they just have to score a puny run every once in a while and they will win 95 games.

[Mathguy]

Completely out or just not starting ?

Harper out.

[NatNasty]

Williams said he's available to hit

[Natsinpwc]

Williams said he's available to hit

I don't want Williams hitting; I know he used to be good but he is not ready for Greinke.

[NatsAllThe Way]

I don't want Williams hitting; I know he used to be good but he is not ready for Greinke.

He would be better than Desmond a few weeks ago.

[Natsinpwc]

He would be better than Desmond a few weeks ago.

Maybe if he was a lefty....

[mitlen]

Let's whoop these "Bums".

[RobDibblesGhost]

Williams said he's available to hit

He also said there's no MRI needed, which means they'll bed up getting one in about three weeks.

Wonder who'll show more fight tonight: the Nats against Greinke or the Redskins vs. the Texans on Hard Knocks?

[RobDibblesGhost]

Stupid freaking Mets.

[Natsinpwc]

Wonder who'll show more fight tonight: the Nats against Greinke or the Redskins vs. the Texans on Hard Knocks?

neither?

[sportsfan882]

Did FP just say we had nothing to lose tonight and are playing with house money???

Uh, the Mets won and if we lose the next two games we will be 3.5 games out of first place with a brutal series vs SF coming next.

[Baseball is Life]

Pitchers' duel tonight. Got to scratch out a couple of runs off that doofus Greinke and make it stand up.

[mmzznnxx]

Wonder who'll show more fight tonight: the Nats against Greinke or the Redskins vs. the Texans on Hard Knocks?

Redskins. Doesn't mean they'll be good or do anything, but the strike of a match can still light a cigarette. Nats won't even make Greinke blister.

[NatsAllThe Way]

this game might be a disaster.

[stealyerbase]

Swollen knee, poop. Could be worse, could be Wounded Knee. OK, Souix me if you can find me.

Do it again just like you did it for eight innings last night!

[NatNasty]

Need to get Greinke's pitch count up early.  Dodgers pen should be gassed after last two games.  On the flip side, Ross needs to go 8.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Swollen knee, poop. Could be worse, could be Wounded Knee. OK, Souix me if you can find me.

Do it again just like you did it for eight innings last night!

He won't be healthy until next year.  That is really too bad.

[Natsinpwc]

Did we surrender when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?  NO, fight on Nats!

[tomterp]

this game might be a disaster.

Better not be, this is a must win game.
