Nationals @ Marlins, Game 3

[metssuck]

I can understand that, but I seriously think it's his before the at-bat ritual. It could be 35 degrees outside and I think he'd still do it.

Those latin players are very superstitious(no don imus)...................

Hurry Up, Colome!

[metssuck]

LOL, am i tha only person unbothered by Colome's slow windup??

[oakviewnatfan]

How did that stay in his mitt?

[oakviewnatfan]

I think this guy is the only Marlin not on steroids!

The 16-year minor leaguer is at-bat again.

I'm usually REALLY patient, but I just don't see an advantage in a pitcher prolonging an inning in any way.

[oakviewnatfan]

Wow, maybe Colome is back!

[ronnynat]

Batista exemplifies oddness. Everything he does is unorthodox.

You think Cabrera is, huh? I think a lot of people believe that. I don't. He's too pudgy. Hanley definitely isn't either. Uggla looks like a shorter Schneider w/ the boxer-faced look. I think that type of face makes people jump to the steroid conclusion a lot.

[ronnynat]

Damn, damn, damn.

They have to win this game for many reasons.  Mainly because it will put them 4 up on the Marlins with 16 to play.  It is the last game against a sub .500 team.  It will let us forget about last night.  It will make a 3-3 road trip.  It will be the 30th road win of the year.  They will only have to go 6-10 to rest of the season to be last year's record.

We need this run!

I really mean they all have a lot of muscles.

I bet the cost of opening the ballpark for business is much greater than what they take in per game.

Why does it really matter if we beat last year's record? I understand staying out of the cellar in your division, but playing against yourself doesn't really make sense. Doesn't seem like very good incentive.

[metssuck]

hit it out tha park!!!!

[spidernat]

I'd love to see a double from Batista here.

oh, gotcha.

Becasue then it means we were a better team than alst year and have really improved, plus tha critics would get madder.

This game is setting up for a gutwrenching ending.

I, for one, am getting really excited about the new park.  I figure I'm going to have to get in line at the crack of dawn when tickets go on sale for the first home game.

[oakviewnatfan]

Suddenly the Marlin have the greatest bullpen in baseball.  12.1 Innings in this series only 2 runs.
We are so impatient at the plate.

I don't think it will be too hard. I was really surprised at how easy it was for the last few months to find Redskins tickets ANYWHERE in the stadium. A lot of people buy tickets just to profit later.

But really, would winning 1 or 2 games more than last year show that much improvement? I think we've already accomplished what we needed to, record-wise, and need to use this month more-so for evaluation purposes. We need to give the young guys like Maxwell more playing time to see how they do against MLB talent.
