Punching out...I just wrote a very angry final paragraph...

Albert Markovski: "Yes. No. Uh, time, not space... No, I don't know what you're talking about."

It's been fun guys, even if the game sucked. See you later.
Patiently waiting for "next year" since 1971.
The Marlins just won two games scoring a total of three runs. Someone has to get fired. Rizzo talks about accountability, now is the time to back up his words. No offense with RISP. Continuing outs on the bases. Lazy defense. Someone has to be held accountable. This team is too complacent with failure. Constantly overpraising opponents, praising effort instead of results.
There needs to be some accountability. Terrible.

Maybe showing that a veteran isn't immune to getting DFA'd will do it...
But I really think there are bigger issues. But yes, Kennedy must go…sorry, AK….

Make an example of him, because you can't fire 25 guys....

And maybe give Eckstein a warning

I'd vote to bring up a batting coach from Syracuse or elsewhere.
A bunch of the guys need to change their approach at the plate when they’re not getting pitches in their wheelhouses.

Adam Dunn and Roger Bernadina are the only two starters who didn't get hits today.
Plus we left 9 RISP.

But they were the ones getting hits and getting on base yesterday.
Something needs to change.

Start the entire bullpen as position players.

Wish it had been a win for the Nationals...
now it’s back to the lab for prepared for tonight. Cubs vs. Phillies. And also still trying to figure out a way to keep Ted Lilly.

If Hendry trades Lilly he should be fired immediately.

Riggleman: "I just met with the club, trying to stay positive, the glass is half full"
On Kennedy: “Adam is making a hustling play, an aggressive play, just couldn’t get his momentum turned around.”
How about “I’ve got a call in with Rizzo, and we’re letting Kennedy go. No team should be making the outs on the basepaths that this team does, and it’s got to stop here. And yes, we’re speaking with Nyjer about this, too.”
He's trying to stay PC for TV....
I HOPE he’s flexing those muscles in the clubhouse. And i HOPE Rizzo is TIRED of watching AK screw up…making rookie mistakes instead of veteran plays.

Riggleman will never say anything like that publicly. It's not who he is.
He handles matters in private. That is why people accuse him of being too “soft.” He’s not. He just not going to air their dirty laundry in the press.

Exact;ly.
But I still hope he’s bearing down on them hard behind closed doors.

Signing off now. It's been good to share the misery with you guys.

Post game from Stammen [with d_c_guy commentary]
Stammen: It is frustrating because we’re playing good baseball [Really? What games have you been watching?]. You know, we’re not throwing the ball around a lot [um – yes you are, sometimes away, sometimes merely to the wrong base], not striking out a lot [Craig – the team has whiffed 30 times in 3 games … just how many whiffs does it take to be “a lot?”].
