Nats unfinished business
This is seriously one of the funnist things in baseball. Because of rain, the May 5 game at Nationals Park against the Astros was suspended in the 11th inning, the score tied at 10.
All along, the teams, in partnership with Major League Baseball, had resolved to finish that game before the July 9 8:05 p.m. (EST) contest at Minute Maid Park.
Chich reports:
The game will resume in the bottom of the 11th inning, with the Nats batting with one out and a runner on first base. Astros RHP LaTroy Hawkins was the pitcher on the mound, and he is allowed to continue his outing if the Astros see fit. Elijah Dukes, though, was the runner on first. Dukes was demoted yesterday to Class AAA Syracuse, so the Nats can replace Dukes with a pinch-runner. (Anybody voting for Nyjer Morgan?)
Does anyone else find it amusing that Joel Hanrahan could pick up the win if we get this one right?

I'll say
I wonder if we can string this out and make it a double header? Apprently, we’re also at an advantage as we’ve got a new bullpen… I guess that’s one good thing about blowing the pen up as frequently as we do.

A win!
I guess we should not have traded him. (just kidding)
