I was watching GameDay
…funny to see Hanny flash up briefly (with his Pirates cap) as Bard announced as the PH, also the May records… remember when we only had 17 losses? Good times.

Ahh May… when we were on top of the world…

Hey, winning REI...
…walk it off!
"It's not a secret, you don't need to be an expert on math to know that walks plus errors equals runs...." --Mannyger Acta
He's playing with a pretty bad groin strain
But I think Ladson did a piece on him the other day saying that after playing with some tough cookies and guys who played with amputated limbs, etc… he’s setting an example about playing hard.
Personally, I think its a little silly and doesnt help the team to not be playing at your best. Not like we dont have another catcher.

Astros find a way to lose to the Nats the way the Nats usually lose to everyone else
Damn shame…. I was thinking that losing a home game on the road would be a new way to lose. They’ll have to figure out a way to do that later in the season I guess.
I’m still awaiting the walkoff balk.
Haven't we had one already?
…speaking of Hanrahan… I guess that wasn’t a walkoff, but I think it was the losing run.

SWEEEEP
That was a 2 game series and we won both games. I saw an article that the D-Backs got their first sweep over the weekend and that left only the Nats with no sweeps. Well, our sweep, as of today, was two months ago.
We Rocked in early May.
Astro's loudmouth wouldn't shut up about being 0-2 to the ____ Nats...
They were looking to be .500

Second time in the past week that there's not much of a reason for Dunn not to be standing on third

I'm shocked
Guz swings at the first pitch….. only way he sees multiple pitches is if he fouls the first one off.
Wonder how many lack of effort errors he'll have now that he's back in the lineup
And to think… I kept getting this “Send Cristian to St. Louis” email for the past few days. The fact that it was him just made me vote for the Giant Panda more often.

Guz needs a bus ticket to a contender
Even with the losing and the poor play, I can applaud effort. The thing that he usually seems to try hardest to do is to make everything look effortless, and that’s led to the majority of his fielding errors. Free the General!

Ray Asks...explain mailing it in on this club.
Team coming off a 102 loss season and it’s all continues. Players not calling each other out for the poor effort. Mentions Lou Piniella tearing the uniform off the sucking jerk Bradley. Nobody’s mad about all the losing. Other teams have players calling out the pitching staff in public.
Other players should apologize to Lannan for today. Manuel has benched Reyes. Manny needs to bench some players.
Then Ray agrees.
Dibble even thinks Guzman’s play has dropped a lot since he moved to 6th. Like he’s pouting. Looks like his head isn’t in the game.
UGH
Jeez....... Cristian?
I don’t know about the players calling each other out. All this clubhouse kumbaya crap is the opposite of that. Early they were scared and one bad move and they were gone. Now, you have “intensity” and you’re gone.
It’s back to Manny and how they run this club…..
