Nationals vs Mets, Game 2

[OldChelsea]

Hey, I'm employed Gen X with nothing better to do than watch my team get raped on TV

And I'm a still-employed baby boomer with nothing better to do than listen to the extended faux pas on the radio. Some kind of fandom....

Yep, feels like we should be seeing Jesus Calome take the field

Takes you back to the old days.

Hernandez is not good at going back for fly balls.

Baez scores on Mazeika hit, 7-nil Mets.

true but that was crushed

June should be known as the deceptive month. The Nats actually looked good for about a month. Slate was saying trade Cavalli for Bryant back then.

You can usually do the opposite of what Slate says and come out OK

[Dave in Fairfax]

Really good that the Nats didn't pinch-hit for Fedde last inning. Though I guess with Suero as your alternative, it's six-of-one, half-dozen-of-the-other.

I still remember June 2005 and the '05 Overachievers stringing together a marvellous month...until the Fourth of July (following a sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley) when they began a horrendous series against...the Mets.

I remember the sweep of the cubs. Don't remember the series vs the mets

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I was at that game.  I think Sunny Kim started

You know it's bad when the two morons in the booth have nothing better to talk about than their 10 minutes spent with Gio yesterday...

To be fair, June 2019's 18-8 run to get back over .500 did presage good things to come.

You keep the economy running...he's just a fiscal drain...

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

In macroeconomic terms, consumption is just as important as production...freak it, I'm retiring

You guys that are able to endure this are stronger than me. I occasionaly look between re-runs of Law and Order ,that I have seen muliple times, to check the score. If Stras is not able to return Rizzo needs to find FOUR SP's as Corbin should be on the BP. This is not a re-tool but a major re-build. Maybe Fedde Ross and Voth workout in the BP next year. Then we have Finnegan , maybe Thompson, McGowin(?) Rainey(?) Machado and Harper. Doesn't look good.

[OldChelsea]

Dave Jageler reminiscing now about Ramon Ortiz' Labour Day near-no-hitter against the Cardinals, 15 years ago...any port in a storm.

...full disclosure: Heineken and various shots can help (as well as having been a charter season ticket holder at the Nats - I've seen [or heard] it all).

That's the spirit!   

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I'm just hoping to see something entertaining like Stevenson's tackle of Sisco last night.  The outcome of this game is no longer in doubt. 

[OldChelsea]

...grasping at straws in a too-short dominance...Charlie and Dave reminiscing about how the compensatory draft pick we got for Alfonso Soriano became Jordan Zimmermann. Any port in a storm....

[imref]

Martinez sounds so dejected these days.

This team keeps finding new ways to freak up...
