THE KEY
to victory will be cool hand’s dominant pitching and RYAN ZIMMERMAN (for the love of God) breaking out of his slump. Can’t be in contention with the big boys unless we get production out of the three hole! And maybe we can get some SB’s with varitek behind the plate.
Is there a game on or do I have to do more interviews...

A splendid night to watch the Nats take on a fabled franchise. Temperatures will be pleasant with very little chance for rain.
Slow down and enjoy the game…. Just trying to keep up has become a full time job.

"It's always ridiculous in NatsTown™." --ROSCOEtheNATSfan

…since the Nats seem to be allergic to scoring runs whenever he pitches, I feel extra-nervous in spite of his low ERA…

even with him
his run support is probably the worst in the majors. Ive never seen a pitcher not get hits from his team… they must hate Lannan.

Oh come on E
If ur in RF or LF…the angles from a leftie and a rightie are same (but reversed from a LF to RF). So instead of thinking a rightie might slice away…. you have to play it to pull… it shouldnt be that different.
"Baseball is like church. Many attend; few understand."
It shouldn't be, but it is.
I don’t know enough about batted ball profiles to make a judgment on that, but the general consensus is you stick the god-awful glove in LF. Stadium dimensions may play a role in it as well, but probably not for the Nats.

Ew, ISO of .073?
Singles hitters ahoy! Seriously, his components aren’t great, which means his value is driven by his BABIP. Players like that, well, suck, unless they can consistently establish a BABIP in the.320+ range.

If he was hurrying, that would be easier to fix...

He always makes the throws when he hurries.

Maybe take some lessons from Ronnie B.? Drop it first, then throw....

My defensive play brought about discussion of a little league DH...

Defense was all I had really..... and baserunning...
Strong arm, and when I over-threw 1B, it went in the river….

OK...saw some of Manny's presser after the game.
He did use the word “imploded” referring to the bullpen. Sounds like changes will be made. Wells’ next walk will be out of town I think.
Manny didn’t let the D off the hook either. Throwing to the wrong bases and letting runners advance.
Then getting doubled off on the line drive. He was ticked about that too.
BOOOOOOOOOO
So the General's goof was worse than it read.......
The Sox are opportunistic and great hitters, but Wells throwing against Drew was horrible. I don’t get the throwing mistakes, and if it’s mostly Dunn, well that’s why his defence is not worth his bat…

Ugly game. It all went to crap.
It only gets tougher tomorrow. But hotter. The climate is our only hope.
Another DP and it's over...
Time to go write up the embarrassing loss…
Punchin’ out…
