They need to fire Rick Eckstein!

Clearly today was Lenny Harris' turn to work with the hitters.

Zimmerman, the tying run, with a nice shot to left field. He just drove that crap.

Looks like Harris went for a pee pee break .... Eckstein steps in to mentor Zimmerman to a hit.

Dukes walked so maybe Harris is actually taking a dump.

GREAT WALK, DUKES!

Nice job, Eckstein! Nice walk.

Haha, Nunez is pissed that Dukes celebrated the walk:

Quote

WASHINGTON -- After drawing a bases-loaded walk to send home the winning run against the Braves in the 10th inning on Saturday night, Nationals outfielder Elijah Dukes pounded his chest in front of Atlanta right-hander Vladimir Nunez, who wasn't happy about the gesture.
Nunez could understand if Dukes would've done so if he collected a base hit, but not on a walk.

"I think it was disrespectful," Nunez said. "If it's a double, triple or grand slam, he can do whatever he wants to celebrate. But after a walk, with a good pitch, and you make a jump like you hit a grand slam, that's unprofessional. I did not agree with what happened. He took the pitch, and I take my hat off to him if I have to. But at that moment, the guy is not even swinging. He jumped as if he hit a grand slam."

We have to at the very least tie up this ballgame.

Hopefully Eckstein sabotaged Lenny's lunch.

I'm sick of all these MLB nages that take the mound.

3 run Jack by Boone! Nats lead 3-4 and threaten to sweep a second series in a row.

Eckstein is going to carry us into the playoffs!

Seriously people need to get over it. He won the game, and no, it wasn't a good pitch.

YEAH BOONE!

He didn't jump cause he took the walk he jumped cause they won the game. What a panzy.

Yes it was. Totally unexpected. I was looking for him to get a bunt down and then BOOM, HR.

This last week has been fun to watch, not just because we have been winning, but because the games have been battles instead of lop-sided blowouts (well, mostly).

Bonifacio doubles!! Dude is a monster.
