Ross Detwiler Just Can't Win...
Washington lefty Ross Detwiler is (0-4) and the Nationals are 1-7 in his 8 starts this season, but 4 of those 8 starts have been 1-run losses. Detwiler was also (0-3) in Double-AA Harrisburg this season in 6 starts, leaving him (0-7) in a combined 14 starts and 72.0 IP in '09 in which he's allowed 79 H, 41 R, 35 ER, 27 BB and 5 HR's, while collecting 57 K's...Kenshin Kawakami is coming off a line drive to the neck off the bat of Yanks' pitcher Joba Chamberlain. Kawkami's (1-0) with a 3.33 ERA in 5 starts and 27.0 IP in June, and Atlanta's won 3 of 5 with the 34-year-old right-hander on the mound.
DC vs The ATL in '09...
The Nationals and Braves haven't played one another since April 22nd when the Braves lost 2 of 3 one-run games in DC's Nationals Park. Before that it was Atlanta sweeping Washington in a three game set in Turner Field from 4/10-12. The Braves are 5-5 in their last 10 and they've dropped to fourth in the NL East, though they're still only 2.0 games out of first behind the Mets, who are 1.0 game out and the Marlins and Phillies, who are tied.

Nationals Park
I’m heading to the National game Sat. What would you guys reccomend I see in and around the ballpark?
Not much around the park except for a misleadingly labeled Beer "Garden"...
Inside the view from the Loft is beautiful…the Capitol behind the outfield the lovely rolling Anacostia behind homeplate…
I live outside of DC and only travel in to the area for games, however, maybe some of the regulars will be able to give you better ideas. Have a nice day at the park.

Well, it includes the words “Frenchy” and “You”…you can use your imagination to come up with the last word.
And it actually has 2 meanings…one for when he does good and one for when he does bad.

Wasn't a fan of signing...have grown to respect his powers...OBP and HR...
He’s a defensive liability, but if you hide him in left he does less damage…
My big problem is that he was brought in to play first where I’d like Nick Johnson to be for a while longer…

1B?
I hear he’s even worse there than in the outfield. I like him as a hitter, but our outfield defense is bad enough without a statue. I’m sort-of glad we didn’t sign him.
"If I had a little humility, I would be perfect" - Ted Turner
He's bad at first, and though Johnson's been shaky at first recently...
I think the whole infield will suffer for Dunn replacing him if he is dealt…

Yeah...
The Braves are lucky to have a great, great defender in Kotchman at first. He saves a ton of errors.
When is Johnson a FA?
"If I had a little humility, I would be perfect" - Ted Turner
Oh.
I see. Well, if he would shave he’ll become a better player…

Pshyeah...
That’s one of the farthest homeruns I’ve ever seen him hit…granted, he’s only hit like 5 since he’s been a Brave.
"If I had a little humility, I would be perfect" - Ted Turner
I think Johnson might leave as an FA anyway... (getting old, probably wants to win a little)...
But you get picks that way at least…So I want to be blown away to trade him…

he scrappily gets on first, so he can be driven in to score. Shows scappy can be a talent unto itself.

Wakamatsu walks the Mariners outfield every day during batting practice and asks the guys about their familes and that gets huge props for changing the culture…..

Does Zim not care anymore?
He’s not taking quality at bats in the past month. It’s as if he knows the season is shot, he has his contract extension, and does not care anymore. Just fence swinging and not making good contact in general other than the odd HR once or twice.
He looks bad tonight, I agree, but wouldn't go that far...

Well, the only things left for him are K, BB, or a hit.
Popped foul on third…then first…then weak grounder to the pitcher.
his OPS dropped over 200 points last month
he had a couple weeks of post-extension goodness, and then said “fuckit” and has been below replacement player since.
Could have an injury they're trying to hide.

To expound:
This organization is exactly the kind of org that would hide an injury or encourage the player to “play through it” – likely the latter. Dibble’s machismo isn’t the only place you’ll find that mentality around here.

Yeah, kid's not a strong starter.

Errr.... Switched out... couldn't watch Villone
Interesting thing to switch out to, though. Bailey cruised tonight in Cincinnati. But the Cardinals loaded the bases down 3-0 with one out in the eighth for Pujols. Personally, I call for the intentional walk, take your chances with Ludwick, and hold onto that two run lead. Dusty Baker disagreed….. and paid handsomely. Pujols now 6-7 with 4 grand slams with the bases loaded this year. How the hell can anyone let him beat them at this point?

Love Pujols.... Admittedly, as a St. Louis guy
I pull for the Cards in every game when they’re not playing the Nats. In other words, they’re the team that has a chance that I pull for more than anyone else. Still, I just don’t get it. Even if he had someone amazing protecting him in the lineup, you just can’t let Pujols beat you! I think I remember discussing this when the Cards were in Washington earlier this year.

Fourth months after it was revealed that infielder Esmailyn Gonzalez was really Carlos Alvarez and they moved their Dominican academy from San Cristibal to Boca Chica, the Nationals agreed to terms with five international players, MLB.com has learned.
A baseball source familiar with the Nationals thinking declined to give the names of the players because physicals and an investigation on the players are pending. The source also said two of the players are legitimate prospects.
An announcement is expected to be made by the Nationals within a few days.
