Nationals vs Braves, Game 1

[sizzlin]

I just hope this isn't one of those games where we use all of our hitting in the series up in the first game.

Did Trump jump out of the stands and chase after him?

How did Rashida Jones get in that Miller Lite commercial?

That is so bad it makes me appreciate the Nats awful pen.  MW would be lucky to win 20 games all year with the Braves' staff.

 Yeah, ridiculous 
Just because the Braves have lain down and stopped competing doesn’t mean every other team should.

Barves, still tryin' to set the rules.

[sayhey]

sayhey, we have a proposition for you. We will trade you SF and BiL for a bag of air, interested?

OK  only if you throw in NatsGirl. That'd make it a salary dump. Also, I can guarantee that the bag of air would be much better than it has been for years. Since Christie left NJ to campaign, the wind whistling in from over the Meadowlands has been refreshingly ... er ... minty.

If they want teams to stop playing they should wave a white flag and leave the field. All is fair game until they concede the game.

Yeah I don't get how you're supposed to play with a big lead. Just swing at everything outside the plate?

Also remember a few years ago we had a 9-0 lead vs. the Braves in like the 6th inning and blew it. And earlier this year we came back from like 8 or so down to win. Always play hard all the way, baseball is a funny game with no clock you can theoretically always come back.
