Got that right! LOL I'm not sure, but I'll bet it's something Cub related so he'll
really stand out.

Let's hope. Let's also hope that Marquis has found his "magic" once again and gives
the Nats a chance to win. Maybe they won’t notice they’re in Florida after all the beating up they did on good Cardinals pitching. If they can beat the Cards 3 out of 4, do you think they can win a couple against the Fish? I know I’m tired of watching the Nats get owned by the Fish and I haven’t been watching them that long! It’s like watching the Cubs play the Pirates. Ewwww!

Callis was supposed to talk about Nats prospects today on 1500am today did anyone here him?
Didn't hear it, but he was on with Byron Kerr of MASN, so I assume he'll sum it up over there....

Considering Nyjer’s overall performance this year, he better step up his game and avoid the mental mistakes.

For what it is worth
I think Nyjer came across OK in the piece. Whether Albert fake pumped a throw is another matter……perception is reality.
He saves some runs in the outfield, I will give him that.
He just needs a good bench coach to show him the way.
Why'd they ever let Grissom go...?

I would love to go to a game like that.
I would love to go to a game like that. Sit anywhere, no lines for beer and have any thing you call out to the field be on TV. Great fun.
I went to Florida last year and went to a game...
It was actually a little depressing. The orange of those seats were so bright in the afternoon sun. We started out in RF in hopes of a HR but none ever came so we finished the game right behind 3B.

Question for ya Nats fans...
At the beginning of the season I saw where the Nationals added that Alternate Blue jersey. Have they been worn this year? The only jerseys I’ve seen are the white home, red alt. and grey away…

Gotcha...
That’s a little bizarre. I kinda figured they wore them on the 4th because the DC logo is also star-spangled. I thought they would be used as a road alt.

Rumors of a re-design are going around since no one likes the home whites...
I like the red home jerseys, be interesting to see what they do.

The red jerseys are pretty cool.
I think if they change the script on the whites they’ll be ok.
I think the script of “Washington” and “Nationals” should be cursive.

Those are just the 4th of July hats though.
Just like the last couple of years when teams wore all red with stars and stripes or blue with stars and stripes.
But speaking of hats I think the Nats should wear red hats on the road and not blue. Just because the socks are red.
"If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400." - Ted Williams
Blue Unis
Nats only wear blue uniforms for military nights and holidays. Home whites with block letters are the only uniform to remain the same for all 6 seasons. They’ve worn the reds for the weekend home series (all three games instead of just Sundays). Greys are away.

Livo
I’m just now watching the Nats pregame show on the DVR. Maybe this is old news but in Livan’s interview about the new contract, he said he’s going to work on throwing harder in the offseason and is aiming for 90 or 91 mph.
remember, while waiting for the game to start,
there is no smoking in the prone position in bed. To smoke you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smoking in the prone position in bed… spends a night in the box.

Isn't that Rob Dibble territory?
If so, he’ll be out of the game in a few short years.
BTW…where is Dibble? Is that era over?
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. Oscar Wilde
His mechanics are better than Dibbles, plus the Reds have better people working for them than they did back then
Aim for the head baby Jesus
I saw Dibble pitch as a kid
I could hear the ball hitting the mitt when he was warming in the bullpen from the upper deck

Bunk. Bunk, I say!!!

Can influence fly ball/grounder...
…but whether the grounder finds a glove, not so much. I’ve heard talk that some pitchers may be able to repeatably induce weak grounders, which are more likely to be caught (Mariano RIvera was held up as an example, although his skill is extraordinary enough that he’s not much use to illustrate a general trend).

Miller's not very good at intentional walks
He left a couple of loopers VERY close to the zone. In a laugher, Dunn opts not to swing.

Roscoe...are still having trouble sleeping at night?
Sorry to hear that. I hope you get a full night’s sleep soon.

I'm getting 8 hours...just a lot of them are when the sun is up.
I better fix that within 2 weeks. Back to work on Sept. 14
Glad to hear you're getting sleep...whenever.
The first few days back at work will probably be tough anyway. But it will correct soon after, I bet.

I sure hope so.
I hope you’re feeling better.
I’m excited about football starting this weekend. Lucky my team is on ESPNU.
Stammen on to have a quick bottom of the ninth
I hope it’s quick. I’m fading here.
