"Sources: #Nationals making progress on acquiring Papelbon from #Phillies. Papelbon has said he will only approve deal if he can close."

What the ****, Rizzo. :stoneface:
I don't see how this is a bad move. Storen in the setup role while Papelbon closes. That's a great luxury to have.
 
Thor pitching tonight.

Hopefully he won't give up 7 ER like he did against em last time
 
Yeah Chapman would be a better move, but Papelbon is a good option nevertheless. Nats can't be choosers when they are beggars :lol:
Why trade for a guy who would be a problem in the clubhouse? I'd rather Storen close and just go after Boxberger or Benoit who would cost less and could fill the setup man role just as well.

you really want storen closing in the playoffs?
 
I hear Teix bugged out last night? Roid rage

3B coach waved him home from 2nd on a hit up the middle. Joe Espada told him "Easy! Easy!" as he was rounding 3rd because he wasn't anticipating a play at the plate so Teix slowed down & expected to score easily.

Leonys Martin actually threw home, forcing Teix into a weird & unexpected slide. He was pissed because he could've a) gotten hurt or b) if it was a close game it could've cost them a big run. 
 
I know tex always plays as hard as possible o remember him busting it when Luis Castillo dropped that Pop up but man it sounded like he destroyed the dugout in a fit of Roid rage :lol:
