This from NJ...stuff to pass the time
Should this game be suspended, Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak would stand in limbo. Yep, even though Zimmerman tallied a single in the sixth and another in the eighth, neither will count officially until the game is completed.
So Zimmerman would enter tomorrow’s game at Los Angeles riding a 22-game hitting streak, same as he was when he woke up this morning.
Say Zimmerman were to continue his streak tomorrow and the next game and the next game, all the way until it reached 43 games (one shy of Pete Rose’s National League record). Then say Zimmerman’s streak was halted at 43 games. There would still be a chance he could tie the record months from now or at whatever point this game were completed.
Wierd, huh? But, of course, this is all hypothetical for the time being.

Nothing wrong with being polite.

I just peaked at the Astros' blog --
— and they sound as upset with their bullpen as we do.
The recap is titled: Rode Hard and Put Up…Runs: The Astros Bullpen. LOL.
Still, none of their relievers has BALKED in a run the way Hanrahan did a few games back.
One thing positive for tomorrow: Cabrera’s ERA is lower than Kershaw’s and they have identical records to date.
Can the Nats be the FIRST team to beat the Dodgers at home, she asked with a mostly serious face.

The Dodgers are due for a fall and the Nats are just the team to do it.....

We OWN the Dodgers!

They will be tired and mean and jet-lagged...
And will not be distracted by the blissful, smiling faces of California….

Nats option RHP Rivera to minors; Beimel off DL
WASHINGTON (AP) The Washington Nationals are optioning right-hander Saul Rivera to Triple-A Syracuse to make room on the roster for lefty reliever Joe Beimel’s return…
Rivera was 0-3 with a 9.28 ERA in nine appearances entering Tuesday, when he threw one perfect inning.

Seriously, he's the new Rob Macowiak as far I'm concerned. What the hell is he doing on the active roster?

Backing up Guz? Allowing the General to play everyday? Already spent the money on him?
Can’t wait until Zim needs a day off……. Cintron!!!

We have TAWH for that! Send Cintron down and carry another reliever.

I'm with you there. And, Ronnie B. plays 3B in Winter ball.............
Perusing the 40-man roster………… um, if they aren’t hurt, they’ve already been tried out, or don’t need to be rotting on the bench…………
Bergmann or Clippard? Rizzo doesn’t like Bergmann…… Extra pitcher? Not.how.the.game.is.played….
Answer: Cintron!!!

I actively await the 1st Hit of the 2009 campaign from one, Alex Cintron, Major League ballplayer

Ponder this: Daniel Cabrera is a better hitter than Alex Cintron.
DC: -36 OPS+
AC: -100 OPS+
Finally, Edison gets revenge on Tesla!

And, he is our go-to-guy on the bench........
But when he does get a hit, man it’s gonna be sweeeeet…….
“Cintron singles to shallow right” will become a battle cry!

I predict:
Cintron gets a hit. And is sent to Syracuse the next day.

and the words will echo,........ "Remember Cintron!!!"
…..seasons pass, and they echo still….
and wide-eyed rookies still ask the grizzled, crafty veterans, “Who was this Cintron?”…….
“Ya don’t wanna know, kid……. ya don’t wanna know”….
