Game 107: Donkey math? 3xK + 1xHR = WIN!!

by Doghouse on Aug 4, 2009 10:46 PM EDT

Yaaaay! Adam Dunn's two-run, go-ahead Donkey Ball (+0.374)
Boooo! J.D. Martin gives up the first of two "nails in the coffin" (-0.105)
teh her0! Big Donkey!! (+0.299)
teh g0at! "And Coke" Martin (-0.132)

What a comeback!! Nats' win expectancy was a measly 3.8% at the bottom of the 7th, but a dramatic aeth inning rally put 'em ahead for another curly W! ¡Viva los Nacionales!

THL = "The Hip Librarian"

My buddy from the Pittsburgh road trip. He’s, uh, a hip librarian.

I thought he meant "Trade Huey Lewis" but he's not even on the Nats and I don't think he's even in the major leagues.

Milledge: Pittsburgh’s good citizen (from tbo.com in Tampa)

Outfielder Lastings Milledge (Lakewood Ranch) developed a bad-actor reputation during stays with the New York Mets and Washington Nationals.

But so far with the Pittsburgh Pirates, his new team, Milledge has impressed everyone – on and off the field.

“He has been great, very attentive, very vocal with his teammates in a good way … he’s signing autographs, he’s just very pleasant,’’ Pirates manager John Russell said. "I have absolutely seen nothing other than determination and drive on the field and working hard.

“You hear the things from the past, but I don’t look at him and say, ‘OK, I’m waiting for something to happen.’ He loves being here. I think he has said it a few times in the paper, this is something that he feels like he has earned.’’

If you can’t convince them, confuse them. - President Harry S Truman
