Game 116: Slow 'n' Steady WON the game?

by Doghouse on Aug 14, 2009 10:19 PM EDT

Yaaaaay! Ronnie Belliard's solo shot gives the Nats the only run they need (+0.136)
Yaaaaaaay! Adam Dunn (really!) snares a liner and tags first with his glove for a DP (+0.132)
Her0: Garrett Mock, by a landslide (+0.384)
H0n0rable Menti0n: Jason Bergmann (+0.173)

Plenty of drama tonight in a slow, steady march to victory. A nail-biting but effective tightrope walk around bases-loaded jams from Mock, unlikely bombs from Belli-YARD and WHO? Wil Nieves! plus a commanding closeout from Mike MacDougal. Good game. Too bad Ryan Zimmerman's streak ended, but we all know Z-man trades a streak for a win every time.

“YAAAAY! YAAAAAAAY! YAAAAAAAAAAAY!” yells Mrs Doghouse as she dances around happily… She’s a big fan of Belli-YARD. "Every game needs a little Ronnie," as she is fond of saying. "Dunn and Willingham needs to be a little ashamed if they can’t get a home run, too…"

.
“Pretty Wil!!” exults Mrs. Doghouse! "This is my game! Ronnie and Wil, these are my boys! #$%@ yeah!!!"

I bet she said, "Heck yeah!"

Vivian Jaffe: "Have you ever transcended space and time?"
Albert Markovski: "Yes. No. Uh, time, not space... No, I don't know what you're talking about."

One of the few graphs when a downward trend is a good thing.

The Bullpen………….. The Nats Bullpen…
Jorge Sosa, Sean Burnett and Jason Bergmann combined to pitch scoreless seventh and eighth innings and Mike MacDougal threw a perfect ninth for his 12th save,
