Nationals vs Mets, Game 1

[mitlen]

Man Otis Nixon could run.  If that guy could have only hit good, he woulda been huge yuuuuge.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Of course. He's been hitting like the game's on easy mode for him all season, and he reverts back to 2015 Ramos with chances to blow the game open.

Someone should take the game off Expert mode for Zimmerman.

Joe Ross hasn't really settled in at any point but the Mets offense has made him look "effectively wild."

Nah, Ryan's just holding the controller upside down.

nice recovery by Ross

the way he is going maybe he should try the controller at the plate instead of his bat

17 years .270 hitter 600 SBs

And he probably had 100 SBs after he looked like he was 65.  I don't think I've ever seen a professional athlete who looked older than he did.  Sorta the anti-Zimmerman: looked 65, played 30, as opposed to Zimmerman looking 30 and playing 65.

Wow, for some reason I thought he only played in the majors for a few years.   He actually hit pretty well.  Very little power though...

I've had 100 SBs since I turned 65.

He didn't strikeout though. #LittleVictories

It's only been called the Super Bowl since 1966.  The prior 50 football games you attended went by a different name.

Just pull the plug on the console, and then biff it out the window.
