DESMOND!!!!
….and that’s a no on the Riggler. When FJB calls him “Fizzleman” and Dave says he just doesn’t get it, the rides over.
''...we were tied for first place for the wild card, and we can't have September call-ups. We couldn't do any trades. They didn't want us to win.''
yea but I still say thanks
for stopping the rot. Acta had let things get too far…and now we have some shred of dignity of a decent baseball team. When he hands over the ship to someone else next year it should be in better shape than when he found it…
Padilla walked into the Nats' clubhouse for the first time and said, "My God. I'm in heaven."
+1 I guess, he stopped the record-setting pace...
or at least presided over it…

DESMOND!
1st post.
Padilla walked into the Nats' clubhouse for the first time and said, "My God. I'm in heaven."
"...going 0-1 with a 7.63 ERA in three starts. Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn are a combined 8 for 15 with three homers off Blanton in those games."
“In his only start against the Phillies this year, Hernandez gave up seven runs in three-plus innings of a 7-2 Mets loss July 3.”
''...we were tied for first place for the wild card, and we can't have September call-ups. We couldn't do any trades. They didn't want us to win.''

"The Nationals made a waiver claim late this afternoon, picking up pitcher Jesse English from the San Francisco Giants, adding the 24-year-old left-hander to their 40-man roster. In a corresponding move, the team designated catching prospect Luke Montz for assignment.
English went 7-7 with a 4.20 ERA in 26 games, 19 of which were starts, for Class AA Connecticut.

Hey.... great first night for Desmond
But…….. As I recall, the ninth inning rally started when he threw what should have been a pretty easy 6-3 away.

Not dogging him.
Glad he’s up. Glad Riggles finally played him. He obviously had a monster night with the bat and made a couple of pretty nice plays with the glove. Can’t completely eliminate my pessimist nature, so I did have to point out that not everything Desmond did was perfect.
Still, I’d like to see a lot more of him the rest of the way.

That's why he is here
to learn… his defense is something he’ll need to work on. His bat has come along and I hope he takes a lot of confidence out of tonight.
