Nationals vs Reds, Game 2

[mitlen]

I'll be leavin' for tomorrow's game soon.

He has 2 rbi's this year.  We should've kept Norris, don't you think?

No. Norris hits about the same and is bad defensively.

[mitlen]

He has 2 rbi's this year.  We should've kept Norris, don't you think?

Can Norris remove helmets after home runs?

[NatsAllThe Way]

Atlanta Braves winning again.  They're starting to make me mildly nervous.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Can Norris remove helmets after home runs?

Most people should be able to do that.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Classic FP rant.

[NatsAllThe Way]

As predicted, this game will be interesting.

[mitlen]

Most people should be able to do that.

Master's degree minimum

[NatsAllThe Way]

89 mph beachballs with 0 movement.  I mean it doesn't take a genius to realize this isn't a MLB pitcher.

[mitlen]

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeriste Blanton can't pitch with a 13 run lead.

[welch]

He has 2 rbi's this year.  We should've kept Norris, don't you think?

Hasn't Norris been DFA'd? Nats could have him again...

[mitlen]

They ought to have closers in the broadcast booth.

[NatsAllThe Way]

This is going to be an embarrassing loss.

[mitlen]

This is going to be an embarrassing loss.

It'll be rough to lose 15-14.

[welch]

Enough, FP.

[NatsAllThe Way]

About 4 of our relievers you can literally only put in during blowouts.  That's not ideal.

[KV]

I'm sure Rusty will get Blanton out when the Reds get to 10 runs

[welch]

Good grief, FP. How many words in that talk about stealing when you are down by 13 runs. And he's back with more...Dyson bunts in the 6th inning? So?

[welch]

Could the Nats trade Blanton, Kelley, an AJ Cole for Drew Storen?

[NatsAllThe Way]

Could the Nats trade Blanton, Kelley, an AJ Cole for Drew Storen?

I'd trade that trio for Papelbon.

Today's offensive tidal wave is overshadowing a really nice performance from Ross.

Taylor is a beast.  That is all.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Best #8 hitter in MLB history.  Just supplanted Danny Espinosa.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Trea is pretty good too today.

Trea is pretty good too today.
