The Nationals Are Coming, The Nationals Are Coming...
The "woeful" Nationals, the "lowly" Nationals, the "traveling circus", or how about, as NY Post writer Kevin Kiernan calls them this morning in an article entitled, "Time To Turn Flushing Into Fat Citi", "the doormat Nationals". Mr. Kiernan writes, in a preview of the three-game series that starts tonight in Citi Field between the NL East's third-place NY Mets and the 5th place Washington Nationals, that the Mets, "...believe they are beginning to gain that long-lost edge they've been searching for," and what better opponent to regain that edge against, right?
The Mets took two of three from DC when the teams, uh, met, sorry, in Citi Field earlier this season, but two of the three wins came with Scott Olsen and Daniel Cabrera on the mound for Washington, and the one Nationals' win came courtesy of Jordan Zimmermann, who'll start Wednesday's finale, with John Lannan going tonight and Ohio's favorite son, Craig Stammen to pitch tomorrow.
New York returns to Citi Field following a 10-game road trip through San Francisco, LA and Boston which saw them take three-straight from San Francisco before dropping the finale to the Giants and all three to the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The Mets rebounded to take two of three from Boston in Fenway Park and finish the trip 5-5. The Nationals head out on the road having just completed an 11-game homestand which saw them go 2-9, losing seven-straight, four to Philly and three to Pittsburgh, before taking the finale from the Pirates and the third of three from the Baltimore Orioles.

Maybe if you get rid of it we win 3 in a row...
But then the front office would have to start making moves that benefit this team, and we know that would never happen…

But if that works then we all have to get bozo T shirts
Rather hope we have different Karma

Manny's talking...
…and MASN fails us by showing him talk about the Sheffield HR for 2 minutes and nothing important.
The Orioles post game shows the entire Q&A with Trembley…but Trembley actually says stuff.
Is he the one with the hockey mask?
I do like the avatar though…look a bunnie…ADD is not a plan its a living…
and his name is Levan and he could be a happy man...blahlblahblah..
I never knew what Elton John sang in that song…but it is good…
Elton John hit a triple?
I thought he was all about hit singles

Yes
And that might be the only time the ballpark sells out this year…

First paragraph of Ladson's story at 7:00 tonight...
WASHINGTON — Right-hander Daniel Cabrera hasn’t pitched since he was taken out of the rotation last week, and it could be a while before he sees any action. The last time Cabrera pitched was on May 16, against the Phillies.
The Countdown...
When is Manny Acta fired?

I think of it more like a Pollock move...
…throw a poop load of paint at a canvas and walla instant masterpiece…and I know the arts history majors will think differently but come on this so parallels the Rizzo thinking process. Throw everything at the wall and something will stick or stink…
I think we need bat girls in Bikini's

Noone can be back and forth on this one

That would bring guys to the ball park and come to think of it so would ... 6-8pm happy hour..
at the park… and than buy a big disco ball and turn the first and third base paths into bowling alleys and have singles night after games…yea, I thought that one though to much…I’ll keep it in my head next time. It sounds better there…
DC is DFA. A sad day for DC baseball
I still think he was a fair gamble. Although it did not work
