Me too. At least we'll get a look at Estrada.

5.02 ERA for Brett Myers?

CG Shutout on the way

Belliard is leading the NL in Batting Average for the month of August (.440).

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #7:** August 20, 2008, 07:07:25 PM »

That's the way. Make contact = get on base.

Good one Willie. Watching this team is the pits.

Which means that switching positions regularly hasn't harmed his hitting (that's a myth/excuse anyway).

I'm debating which to watch...Angels-Rays or Nationals-Phillies

This is what it's come to.

I seriously hate this freaking team. It's all to freaking predictable.

2 hits, a walk, and an error and we still do not score. I don't know how we take this crap night after night.

spidernat · « **Reply #13:** August 20, 2008, 07:14:01 PM »

We are a freaking joke.

Im giving up on watching the Nats this game if they don't score by the 3rd. I'll go find something more entertaining to do with my free time.

Watch Flores open the second inning with a double.

Could Tolman be any worse as a 3B Coach. This is the major leagues for god's sake!! He almost got Flores injured over the weekend and tonight Zimmerman. He ruined Shawn Hill last year!

He is just terrible. Got to go. I could sort of understand him sending RZ there since we are so desperate for runs but anyone with half a brain could tell that Zim was a dead duck the entire way.

Balester can't be leaving those curveballs hanging like that, he was lucky that ball was outta here

spidernat · « **Reply #19:** August 20, 2008, 07:19:37 PM »

We used to have Huppert who was just as bad. We can't even get that right.

It's all good, beginning tomorrow there will be NFL football on for 6 out the next 8 nights and most of it should be as close to regular season as it will get.

sportsfan, I read that Steven Jackson is reporting to practice on Thursday.

Yep, I knew he'd show up. That makes him a top 5 pick in my book.

I'm going to be tempted at the 3rd pick but players that holdout for so long, especially RB's, can risk hamstring injuries once the season begins.

On the positive side, Emilio hit a curveball!!

It appears Burgess got a night off, he is not in the lineup for Potomac tonight.

spidernat · « **Reply #24:** August 20, 2008, 07:22:01 PM »

Wow if you look at the replay Zimmerman had just reached 3rd when Burrell fielded the ball.
