Origin Story - Washington Nationals' 12th Round pick, 354th overall in 2005.
• The Milwaukee Brewers are 1-5 in the last 6 starts by Jeff Suppan, and the 34-year-old right-hander hasn't won a start since June 17th when he beat the Cleveland Indians. Craig Stammen, (2-2) in July, allowed just 1 run to the Mets in his last start, which lasted 7.1 innings and saw the Nationals win 3-1 in the end.
• Washington's last road trip, through Colorado and Houston, saw the Nationals drop 5 of 6 games. The trip before that, to Baltimore and Florida, the Nationals dropped 5 for 6. Tampa Bay and New York...4 of 6 losses...You get the point...
• And Before We Get Started, A Big Thank You To The Mets, For Making DC The Second Most Embarrassing Team In The Majors Right Now!!!

Stammen's numbers since July 1: 2-2, 29.1 IP, 2.15 ERA.
COOL!

That 2.15 ERA and 2-2 record is ...appropriate, somehow.

I think he's toast, whether or not it was team-sanctioned.
They’re going to get ripped in the press for that, justifiably so. With that being said, it may be a positive for the Mets if Minaya gets canned, as he’s done a pretty wretched job with the minors.

It's early, the worst thing that can happen is the Nats are down 2-0.
It doesn’t have that much of an effect on your chances to win the game. I mean, even with that run the Nats still have a 40% chance of winning this, give or take.
