• Rays' Left-Hander David Price, on Sirius/XM's Ripken Baseball Talking Stephen Strasburg:
David Price: "I did keep up with [the '09 Draft], I am interested in seeing [Stephen Strasburg] him make his next start. From what I've seen on ESPN, his stuff on tv looks pretty good, so I'm pretty excited for him and I'm ready to see him get up there and get his first start and I wish him well."
• DC Skipper Jim Riggleman On Matt Capps' Recent Struggles:
Jim Riggleman: "[Matt Capps] is throwing the ball very well. The ball hasn't been down quite as much as it was earlier, but then again when he got a ball down and it moved away on Berkman we didn't get the call. Each of the last games that Matt has been involved in there has been an error that let the winning run cross the plate or a call that didn't go our way so...now if he had a clean 1-2-3 inning it wouldn't be an issue, but in the ninth inning it's hard to get those three outs, and he's gotten the three outs if we'd made some plays for him. So, I'm very satisfied with the way he's throwing the ball. The results? I know none of us are satisfied with..."

Can’t wait to boo Guzman, currently on red line from work to watch dem Nats. Jay Bruce will homer but we will win those are the predictions.

Let's go Nats go!
Couldn’t get out of the office early, so I’ll be fighting traffic to get home then schlepp over. I’ll be stopping for rally sammiches on the way to help break the streak. Winning homestand starts tonight (I hope)!

Hello
I’ve hedged my bets tonight. I’ve dug my lucky baseball out so i can attribute a win to that. I’m also prepared for a loss from chugging a 24 of icehouse

I’m hoping Hernandez make a batter cry tonight. They say you know a great team in any sport when the other knows what you’re bringing and still can’t do anything about it.

Riggles just simply loves to go R L R in the batting order because he believes it will help the other team burn relievers.
The problem with this logic is that anyone who believes they need a LOOGY to get Bernadina out has not watched his befuddlement with the mystery known as the breaking ball.
Souldrummer stands alone for Miguel Batista. Many want to see Capps save games. Dream big! MOAR RUNZ!!! MOAR BATISTA!!!!
Just got home
Looks like a Mr P Reddington is winning the comments contest tonight

Joe West is the biggest jerk around, in my book.
Plus he’s just really ugly to look at…fat slob.
Get offa my screen!
That's a tough call for me
Angel and Joe are equals in my mind. Hard to believe the league put them on the same crew. Maybe nobody else would work with them.

Angel pretty awful, too.

You ever read Fienstein's book "Paint the Black"
He trashes a number of Yankee’s players. Unfortunately, most of the trashees ended up on the Nats roster at one point or another. The most trashed were Nieves and Villome…

I have yet to read Fenstein actually.
I have very conflicted emotions about this. On the one hand, he’s pretty intelligent and does his research. On the other hand, he seems to be determined to constantly remind you about that. Perhaps library readings of Feinstein are the compromise.

Angel Hernandez is just as bad
Two instances where he decided to be the show rather than the players in the Rays-Blue Jays series earlier this week. Once when he didn’t allow Pena time out (which I actually agree with) and then booted Joe Maddon. The other was when he said that Sean Rodriguez missed third base scoring from second on a single and called him out. Got brushed under because it was the same night as the perfect game mistake, but Rodriguez CLEARLY touched third base on the play.

Two of his last three "losses" have been totally out of his control
Bad umping, bad defense
Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

nervously tapping my fingers and holding my breath.
Do you think after this week Selig finally caves and "modernizes" the game with instant replay?
Don’t know just how stubborn he is…

Too many things going wrong at once...
It’s reached critical mass and has to change…even if for next season…

nats win=awesome
If the entire Duke fanbase took the form of one human being, you have to think that person would look exactly like Tucker Carlson, and we'd all like to punch that person in the face.
8-3, most wins on the staff...

Peaches > Roy Halladay.
Peaches has same number of wins.
Peaches has lower ERA.
Wins and ERA are the best way to measure pitching success.
Peaches is better than Roy Halladay.
QED.
Souldrummer stands alone for Miguel Batista. Many want to see Capps save games. Dream big! MOAR RUNZ!!! MOAR BATISTA!!!!
Desi gets the Silver Elvis
