Burning questions
Can the Nationals FINALLY beat the Marlins ( Maybe NJ was the bad luck)?
Can the Nationals really go 5 series in a row without losing a series? A win tonight would put us in the right direction.
Go Nats!!!
Go Dukes!!!!!

I’ve watched the replay of the 1-2-3 double play Clip got yesterday about 20 times. Every time the announcers mention Bard making sure he was on home plate. not once did they see what his foot was on the bat that was laying on home plate. Somebody in the truck or somewhere must have seen that. It sounds like they’re giving Bard-o a hard time.

Pourin' a forty out for them.
Eric Berry for sending the guy who wins the Heisman spinning 720 degrees in the air at the podium - or for intercepting it and returning it to where it rightfully belongs

Wow. I'm starting to think improbability needs to be the motto of this season.

3 game winning streak with Lannan on the mound tomorrow
Does it get any better than this?
Other than of course being only 15 games out
heh
Lets keep it going. We owe the fish a sweep or 2.

Well, they do have nicknames........ #3 was also called "Austin" by the others when he took all the snacks, but didn't contribute to getting them...

Needs a bit of time in the timeout room...

Maybe some time in the Hav-a-Heart....... while the others have their snack...
Truthfully, they’re grown up enough to not come looking for handouts, so I’m probably cutting them off for their own good…

The waterfall on the "Transportation Walk" sounds particularly refreshing tonight

AHHHH ADAM DUNN IS UP!
I’d say get mlb.tv, but you can’t see any in market games (if you’re from the area), and they show ads now. It’s not as good as it used to be, I don’t think.
What's up with no donkey-ball highlight?! LAME!!

AHHH HE JUST HIT A HOME RUN!
Why didn’t I go to this game! I thought about it because I really wanted to see NJ, but one of my friends had just gotten home so I hung out with him.
mlb network and espn treated it like just another ballgame. Do other teams win like this often? Geez.
