Around SBN: FSU To Big 12 'Inevitable,' According To Report

Game 128: Nyjer Morgan Breaks Hand...Washington Nationals Win 5-4 Over Chicago Cubs.

290827116_nationals_cubs_139918761_lbig_medium
via Fangraphs.com

Ryan Zimmerman (+0.071) and Adam Dunn (+0.035) hit one HR each, combine to knock in 3 runs in 5-4 game, but Cristian "Don't Deal Me" Guzman (+0.003) is today's HERO!! 1 for 5 with 2 RBI's!!! Or is it DC Closer Mike MacDougal (+ 0.290) who gets a 5-out save to hold on to the Nationals' 46th win??? NOT A HERO? Milton Bradley, (-0.268) Cubbies' OF who ends the day, 0 for 5 and grounds out to end the game with the tying run on base...A play at the plate on a passed ball costs the Cubs the tying run when Derrek Lee (+ .0.171) tries to score from third and gets tagged out by the pitcher Sean Burnett (+ 0.065)!!!

Nationals win, 5-4 final. 

Miss The Game? The DC Faithful Were Watching...

Nationals now 46-82. (Countdown To 100 Losses Stands At...18)

This sucks! T-Plush is one of the main reasons the Nats are still lovable in their last place status.

I just did an interview where I said he's been behind DC's 2nd half improvement....

NOOOOOOOO....

Maybe Thrillie can be almost as productive.
He was doing pretty darn well before TPlush arrived.
TPlush has set a new tone so maybe the nats can keep it up…for TPlush.

I guess it's a good thing I ended up not listening to the game...

Bad Cubs! Maybe they can pull themselves together and beat the Mets. (Did I just see a pig fly by?)

And now that the Cubs-Nationals series is over, get out there and get some more wins. Beat the Cardinals! Also, too bad about Nyger Morgan and his broken hand. Hopefully, he’ll be good as new next season.

Thanks, Brook. The Nationals will do what they can against the Cards, but they beat DC up pretty bad last time out...

…and DC’s T-Plush-less offense is going to need a spark…

Yep.

Only small bright side is that maybe bringing up J-Max might be his chance to give it a good go and take his chances.

Maxwell played in the Syracuse game tonight......... 0-4 in a 2-1 loss

I suppose they could fly him out tomorrow, if they want to add an OF….

I just read Chico said no decision, but mentioned Maxwell, seems like the obvious choice, wish Bernandina was healthy...

 The Nationals have not decided on Morgan’s replacement on the roster. Rizzo and interim manager Jim Riggleman plan to discuss the situation on the plane ride to St. Louis.

“We are not sure about the corresponding move, so we are going to figure that out,” Rizzo said. “Riggs and I are going to talk on the plane, and we’ll have a corresponding move tomorrow.”

Kearns

He’s due off the DL isnt he? I’d love J-Max to get a shot but Kearns could cover all OF positions. And has intangibles.

Why couldn't it have been Kearns???

I think he’s done….

by cat daddy3000 on Aug 27, 2009 11:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

No idea when he is due back.

But I was under the impression he was not done for the season. Rizzo is a fan…sadly.

Ten days ago, Chico reported....

“Austin Kearns (bruised right thumb) is still several weeks away from beginning a rehab assignment.”

With four weeks left, there’s no time….

by cat daddy3000 on Aug 28, 2009 11:27 AM EDT up reply actions  

Not even a farewell tour for Kearnsie?

Last week I thought I saw him in the dugout during a game…maybe he’s at least going to attend home games so we can show our love to him.

(clears throat)

by RoscoeNats on Aug 28, 2009 12:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

He's stayed with the team throughout, I believe.....

They only leave when sent on rehab assignment, and that option ends when the minors finish, except for Florida maybe….

Farewell, Bluegrass…..that’s all you get…

Hey Roscoe

Im in the north here mate- so Brisbane Lions would be the only team I would be allowed to follow.

I’m a Brisbane boy- it’s genetically hard coded that I blindly follow Brisbane/Queensland teams (state based sporting rivalries are much bigger here than in the US I think. Given there are only 5 states and 2 territories. Something to keep in mind when you see Victorian teams beat the snot out of South Australian teams…etc).

These are the games I get the next couple mornings...

West Coast Eagles vs. Richmond

 Port Adelaide vs North Melbourne

Can’t say I recognize these teams from when I watched, say, 15 or 20 years ago.

by RoscoeNats on Aug 27, 2009 11:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yea theyd be all different

Those two match ups are pretty much lower down the ladder – and we’re coming up to finals time so look for those in the top 8 to go out hard. The games u mentioned probably wont be outstanding games- I’d be on the lookout for
Hawthorn v Essendon, Saturday
Carlton v Adelaide Crows, Saturday

And my pick- the NSW v QLD darby
Sydney Swans v Brisbane Lions, Saturday – this game will be huge as a few of the Swans players are retiring and Brisbane hates Sydney (well, everyone who doesnt live in Sydney…hates Sydney).

“….accused witches were bound and thrown into water to see if they would sink or float. Since water is the medium of holy baptism, it was believed that it would reject an agent of the Devil: witches would float.”

Then, you burn them….

I’ll miss Friday’s game due to some preseason football. Tom Brady against the Skins. Could be fun.
