Nationals @ Padres, Game 1

Only Flavor Flav breaks more hearts than the Nats

I've seen enough of Hanrahan, Colome, and Manny Acta. Get them the freak out of here!

[eagleskins]

Manny has overused Joel.  His velocity is down tonight. 

[spidernat]

eagleskins advocated sending Lopez to the Mexican League. What league shall we send Hanrahan  to?

[sportsfan882]

Manny has overused Joel.  His velocity is down tonight. 

Just give it up. Joel is trash.  Who gives a crap if he throws 105 MPH if he can't control it?

[spidernat]

I guess I'll be sporting this avatar for a while.

Let's get a rally going boys.

You can throw 98 all game long but if you throw it right down the middle they'e going to go a long way.

[spidernat]

Let's get a rally going boys.

I've lost all hope.

[eagleskins]

Just give it up. Joel is trash.  Who gives a **** if he throws 105 MPH if he can't control it?

His walks have been down in the last 3 weeks.  The guy just hit a good fastball on the first pitch.  Tip your hat to him.

As will I with the clowns avatar. I'm afraid we're going to go rapidly down hill. We'll be 15 games under and completely out of any type of contention within a few weeks.

[eagleskins]

Our offense is pure doo doo. 

[sportsfan882]

  at this embarrassment of a team. They score 2 runs in the first and it looks like they'll put up 6-7+ runs and then they go scoreless for the rest of the game.  I'm so fed up with this.  Nothing like getting your ass handed to you by the worst team in the league.  I kind of hope we get swept and then swept again in Arizona.  Might as well.

[eagleskins]

As mediocre of years Zimm, Kearns, and Nick are having, we REALLY miss their bats and patience at the plate. 

[eagleskins]

That was the nastiest pitch Joel has thrown this year. 

[spidernat]

We are SD's nag. We have only beaten them 3 times out of 19 games (this one will make it 3 out of 20).  

[sportsfan882]

We are SD's nag. We have only beaten them 3 times out of 19 games (this one will make it 3 out of 20).  

Yep. It'll be 3 out of 22 after the next 2 games. 

Our offense is historically bad, our starters can't go more than 5 innings, and our bullpen is one of the worst in baseball.

[eagleskins]

Just heard that Joel has the lowest batting average against in the league. 

[sportsfan882]

It's going to be funny as hell to see our young hitters get fooled by old man Trevor in the 9th.

[The Chief]

Just heard that Joel has the lowest batting average against in the league. 

Pretty misleading considering how many walks he gave up.

[MDoyle]

Carmen Pigs & Jello?

[eagleskins]

Hoffman has been trash this year.   Of course we won't do anything with him.  Maybe Flores, but our crappy outfield will all look foolish. 

[sportsfan882]

Just heard that Joel has the lowest batting average against in the league. 

He also leads the Majors in most walks by a reliever with 23.

[spidernat]

Pretty misleading considering how many walks he gave up.

Exactly. He has yielded 24 hits and 23 walks so his OBP against is sky high (.480).

[The Chief]

Wow that place is truly empty...  pathetic.
