Game 109: Hip, Hip, JorGE!!

by Doghouse on Aug 6, 2009 4:55 PM EDT

Yaaaay! Elijah Dukes goes yard to tie it at 8-8 (+0.231)
Yaaaaaay! Ronnie Belliard's RBI single puts the Nats ahead! (+0.211)
teh Her0s: Belli-YARD (+0.271), SooperDooks (+0.255), Ryan Zimmerman (+0.251)
h0n0rable menti0n: "Hip Hip" Jorge Sosa (+0.194)

No goats or boos today. Stammen didn't pitch well, but we got another terrific come-from-behind win with some surprisingly-solid bullpen work and an outpouring of offense. Go Natioooooonals! (Nats now .500 in the Riggleman Era. RIGGLER!!)

I almost feel like it’s a good thing when the starting pitching struggles, because it means the rest of the game will be more exciting!

I love how the Fish trade for a first baseman who gets on base, then they get swept by the "worst team in baseball"

heh.

Kudos......to the NOTS

Kudos to the NOTS For sweeping the pathetic DEADfish whose pitching performed eerily like the pre all star “Natinals” and now the law of averages are in order as the Nots are playing .323 vs FLA this season at 4-9…….. Hope this ends the Sardines fraudulent and deluded hopes for a wild card…………

Kudos to Riggleman who is making my CONTEMPT for the Robotic ACTLESS…and JOY at his termination……feel dammm good right now- the firing was was long overdue !!!………..

No Fools Gold for me just because the NOTS have won some hot summer games against the dregs of MLB…..i’ll keep the koolade powder on the shelf for now…………at least until they finish the month against Colorado…the Cubs and the Cardinals….If Riggleman is still at .500…and the team finishes .500 vs these 3……i’ll go ahead and put some water in the ice cube tray………

Now off to the Strasburg prayer wheel……….May the Ratzo Rizzo fleecing of Quitsburgh for my man Nyjer……..carry forward to the signing of SS……….
