I look forward to all the images of varying degrees of innuendo of Nats fans taking it in the poop-chute.

Hey Joe!

For inspiration to Mr. Ross.

Hey Joe!

For inspiration to Mr. Ross. 

When I saw the still of Hendrix, I thought it was gonna be "All Along the Watchtower"  ..

There must be some kind of way out of here.
Said the joker to the thief.
There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief.

But I do like your choice.

[Natsinpwc]

I can't get no relief

Well. That's for sure.

I look forward to seeing how Ross handles the pressure of pitching in St. Louis where the crowd can get on top of opposing pitchers.

[MorseTheHorse]

At least we have our ace going tonight...

The St. Lunatics

Shoulda been St. Lucifer.

If the nats don't win out the rest of this week before facing the mets it won't matter if the nats sweep them.

[NatsAllThe Way]

If the nats don't win out the rest of this week before facing the mets it won't matter if the nats sweep them.

We won't win out, and we won't sweep the Mets.

MW can't manage but he's explaining the procedure Span underwent today and the recovery regimen.    Nats' must be stayin' at the Holiday Inn Express.

Den Dekker or someone else should be in over Werth and Turner in over Desmond.

You are preaching to the choir!

Rizzo likely gave him another vote of confidence today...

You think the Lerners would actually spring for a Holiday Inn?

It's cheaper than an MRI.

Marco Gonzales has been getting rocked in AAA. Gave up 8 hits and 4 runs in 5 IP in his last start. No excuses tonight

In that case I foresee a CG shutout

[mmzznnxx]

This is going to be a laugher for the Cards.

[varoadking]

That would have put one of our other pitchers out of the game...
