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.

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.

Second time in the past week that there's not much of a reason for Dunn not to be standing on third
I guess this time there was always the possibility that they could have given Zimm the stop sign or something… on the other one it was just plain inexcusable.

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!
