First thought when I saw the lineup card.  Does Dusty hate ESPN or something haha

[mimontero88]

Excited to see Alex Meyer pitch.  I've actually never seen him throw a professional pitch but I remember looking up some of his amateur games when we drafted him and the kid has great stuff.

Bryce was last all star to get his day off. Bryce asked to have it in LA so he could spend it with his family.

ESPN will never forgive him.

The Nats are so exciting now, I can't wait for the game to begin.  And these West Coast games are so late, it makes it that much harder to wait.  Anybody else getting antsy?

Always.  I was getting antsy at 10 AM for the 12:30 start the other day.  Love to watch these guys hit every day.

Hard to be antsy when you play almost daily for months, but I like the enthusiasm.

I've been fired up for the road Angels' series ever since the famous 2005 game.  Last night was no disappointment whatsoever.

Maybe we need a Things better than waiting for a west coast game thread.

[tomterp]

The getting up at 6 am the next morning can be a big challenging.

Done

[mimontero88]

Pretty amazing how much worse our outfield defense looks just by taking out Harper and inserting Heisey.

[bluestreak]

Need Taylor back.

[stealyerbase]

Go get 'em boys, clip their wings and dent a halo or two. 

[NatNasty]

Game on! 

[mitlen]

That was quick.

[varoadking]

Game on! 

Game... 

[Slateman]

Is something wrong with FP's voice?

[Natsinpwc]

First time I have seen Meyer pitch.
