Did you guys see Willy Mo chugging around 3rd heading home?

 

[rsdplaya]

Lannan pitching c-l-u-t-c-h in trouble.

 

[j rain 23]

LANNAN IS A MAGICIAN ON THE MOUND!!!

LANNAN 4 CY YOUNG! 3 STRAIGHT DOMINATING STARTS.

2 OF 3 FROM THE CUBS

 

[rsdplaya]

what a series!!! 2 of 3. can't ask for much more than that considering we had to face zambrano.

 

[j rain 23]

my dude zimmerman stays strugglin at the plate. i think it's the under armour cleats.

nike zimmerman >>>>>>>> under armour zimmerman. hestays making web gems at third tho. this could/should be the yr he wins his first gold glove.

next up, the braves AGAIN. we finally escape hudson and smoltz!

 

[rsdplaya]

yea zimm's realllllllllllllly struggling. yep, no huddy or smoltz, plus we got redding going against glavine.

shawn hill tomorrow though...smh.

 

[rsdplaya]

it's funny JRAIN, ppl come in here and talk smack about the Nats when they're team beats ours...when we win, we get no love....no love.

 

[CP1708]

^ No, you do. That boy that was dealin yesterday was filthy. Dude ended us right away. We had a couple shots at makin it a game, but we couldn't clutchhit to save our life, or the Nats just made the plays to beat us.

Glad we got the Zambrano game, but this series sucked for us Cub fans.

 

[j rain 23]

shawn hill tomorrow though...smh.
i like hill, he's still gettin his stamina back. he's been solid. the only starter that is SMFH worthy is chico.

redding vs glavine on tues
hill vs jurrjens on wed

mini sweep is possible. we were rocking grandpa glavine before he got hurt in his last start vs us, and i'm looking forward to seeing jurrjens onwednesday.

LETS GO NATS! get that record creepin up to .500!

 

[rsdplaya]

that is true man, at least Hill does have a favorable matchup.

 

[rsdplaya]

johnson goes yard again!!! yippppeee, plus zimm gets into one! hopefully that gets him going.

 

[rsdplaya]

zimm bases loaded...

 

[rsdplaya]

wooooooooooooooo

 

[rsdplaya]

[j rain 23]

GREAT NIGHT OF NATIONALS BASEBALL!

R.Z. AND NICKY J BACK 2 BACK JACKS!

ZIMMERMAN 3 FOR 4, 3 RBI, HOMER AND A CLUTCH 2 RUN DOUBLE! HAD TO BE RELIEVING FOR RYAN. I KNEW HE WAS GONNA BREAK OUT OF HIS SLUMP IN A BIG WAY, NO WORRIES.THIS IS THE START OF A HITTING TEAR. ZIMMERMAN >>>>>>> WRIGHT!

10-17, SLOWLY BUT SURELY CREEPING THAT RECORD UP TO .500!!!

[j rain 23]

lets complete the mini sweep, it's really a legit sweep if you include opening night

i'm not really feeling the lineup today tho. mackowiak's wish is granted and is starting after crying about not getting enough playing time. he's 1for 17 and complaining about a lack of playing time

a win today could go a long way towards getting out of the cellar. a win, and we're only 1.5 games back of the braves.

 

[rsdplaya]

mack gets the 2 bagger. nice slide by him at home too.

 

[rsdplaya]

lopez better come through this time with the bases loaded...

 

[rsdplaya]

nats win nats win woooooooooooo nats win!

 

[j rain 23]

THE RESILIENT NATS WIN AGAIN!!!!

MY DUDE BELLY WITH THE GAME TYING RBI!!!

FELIPE REDEEMS HIMSELF WITH THE GAME WINNING RBI!!!

11-17, THE NATS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY BUT SURELY CLIMB UP TO .500!

thank you bobby cox for leaving acosta in, you old geezer!

As one evaluator familiar with the NL East said: "There's no comparison between the two" right now. Their numbers aren't close; Wright's career batting average is .310, on-base percentage is .389 and slugging percentage is .534, compared with .277, .337 and .458 for Zimmerman.

"They're asking Zimmerman to be a star, and he's not ready," another scout said.


and that's from the hometown Washington Post...
