Willingham – 9

I like it.

Nieves again? And I guess Hammer is swinging a hot bat.
I’d prefer Bard, but at least TAWH is in CF.
Olsen must like Nieves, or Manny feels he needs The Blocker or something...
And yet another pitcher that Dunn has only a double and a dinger to show for his efforts…

With Hammer and Dunn in at the same time, Manny needs the extra D.
Maybe he learned an important lesson last night after Weiters gave up the two-run margin of victory all by himself.

ESPN was showing the linups in the crawl and it showed record for the last ten games. Nats 5-5 and Fish 6-4.
I was thrilled. We’re a .500 team.*
* Last ten games only. These results are not indicative of all ten game periods throughout the Nationals’ season. Results may vary.
Nice disclaimer...Who wants Hammer now?

No, but I used that for Mezza.
He should recognize the symbol and I liked the idea of a kangaroon whacking the H*** out of Bowden.
Extra bonus: this pic is Bowden’s mug shot from the time his girlfriend whacked him in a domestic dispute!

I feel bad for Martis, but his production was really dropping and...
he’s only 22.
They were going to shut him down in Sept anyway. So he gets a rest a bit early and will come back. I hope he gets it together so he can produce like his idlol Greg Maddux.

Chalk that one down to Manny's brilliant use of the pen.
Who would have thought…Villone and Goggles to save the day… one lone person.

Nope, that would be taking responsibility for his poor decision-making.
Manny doesn’t do personal responsibility.

LOL.
For the record, I don’t hate Manny.
I just don’t think he’s a good manager. He doesn’t know how to manage the bullpen - at all- and he doesn’t demand enough from the team as a whole. He’s too easy on them.
And I don’t mean he has to go all Lou on us, but those guys need to get better and they’re not. And I think that starts with the manager. IMHO, of course.

That would reflect negatively on his aura....

I will report on Manny's presser.
I assume he blames the bullpen and says Beimel was not available. Something to cover his butt.
He was warming up!
Its a conspiracy! I want the TRUTH!

In case they took the lead..... it's in the managering book...

MASN = FAIL...
The only clip of Manny they showed after the game was Manny answering about what he told Tavarez when he visited the mound. Who even cares.
We’ll have to count on radio and others to find out why on earth he put Villone in the game.
Thanks for trying....... he visited the mound and didn't pull him? Even after he walked in a run?
I imagine even MASN didn’t want to broadcast the drivel…

Just watch...Bonifaco will go on the DL or something...
as soon as the Nats leave town …and after he’s hurt them as much as he did in the spring.
"Luck is the residue of design." - Branch Rickey
It is just so ironic that he'd hit a sac fly, when the Nats big bats never do....

They played for the sac fly and won... bunting the runner to 3rd...
Manny leaves Nick in to run on a bad leg, but somehow gets to 3rd. That non-move could’ve hurt. I don’t really blame him for not stealing with AG, but with two outs and needing two runs, that’s what most managers would do to try to tie it up on a base hit. But, then they’d just walk Hammer…
