Glad to see Ramos...
Wish I was also seeing the Boy Wonder. And also not seeing Nyjer in the leadoff.

No nickname for Ramos?
I guess he doesn’t need one yet. Excited for a good game though!
um, please visit my soccer (football) blog. it's interesting, I promise. por favor? (filbertway.com)
Sunshine will come to Nats Park, I promise. (visit por favor? my website)

just sayin
going off the little ive seen and not just the hot grounder up the middle last night. just looks like he moves in the right directions very quickly. Obviously 4 is a need but if they solve that through FA and if spinner’s bat is half as hot as its been in these games, its gotta be tempting to find some way to keep him up on the team

Not crazy about sacrificing there with Desmond hot and a weak pitcher on the mound.

Props to Morgan for getting us on the board.
Also props to him for hitting the ball the other way. Those weak ground balls to second are probably him trying to pull the ball too much sometimes to maximize power he doesn’t possess.

Morse adds insult to injury by doubling up Tabata. A very, very bad play.

Maybe not so bad.
I guess he’s trying to get to third with one out and I’m sure the scouting report has Morse as a butcher in RF. Those are the kind of plays Morse has to make if he wants to make a run at a starting RF job for next year.

There we go.
Glad Storen gets through that one with his EAR unscathed. Still needs more missed bats and more command, but we’ll take it!

Going to take my before Senators nap. Big, big day for the Sens.
Tatusko’s on the hill against a guy who ain’t so great. Sens really need to win today if they want to take down Bowie for the final playoff spot.
