"Baseball is like church. Many attend; few understand."
Hope it does for Zim
He played well in the series and im hoping some Yankees fans want to take it away from Wright. Was nice listening to commentators say how good a player he was…I had no idea that AL fans live in a bubble

Predicting a W for Zim(n) tonight, 10Ks, 0ER, 3 hits.

Yea but he's thru it.
Needs a good first inning to settle the team down and keep the MO going from the other day. If we get an early run we might start to get some confidence.

It looks like Hanny’s going to come on in the 9th. No leads or ties are safe!

Hey, Mezza!
I just got home, but was listening on the way home. The bottom of the 7th was seriously awful.
"Luck is the residue of design." - Branch Rickey
VERY SAD.
I’m consoled only by the fact that even the coach didn’t expect Carolina to go this far this year. They lost too many top players last year and the year before.
But that 7th inning last night was seriously a nightmare.

noooooooo
why is belliard in the game??? at least wait until the pitcher spot comes up!
this is not good
if he gets an error, minus 100 pts for acta
Belliard's in because they're now down to MacDougal in the bullpen
Get as much room between the pitcher’s spot as possible in case Colome has to throw 2-3 innings.

no, when the pitcher spot is up, sub in belliard

The game ended too late for the usual Friday night fireworks. It also ended too late for the typical “BANG” “Nats Win!!” fireworks… Instead they had a montage on the video board, stating, “BANG! ZOOM! Another Curly W in the books!” Um, thanks? That’s… not as good as fireworks at all…
Still, can’t really complain about fireworks on a night where we win. LET’S GO NATS GO!

I downloaded that clown picture on May 20th at 9:53pm after what must have been a meltdown. So, he didn’t even last a month. Three game winning streaks, therefore, happen at least once a month.
