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

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.

Get as much room between the pitcher’s spot as possible in case Colome has to throw 2-3 innings.

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.
