<---gangsta withthe glove

WashingtonNationals shortstop Cristian Guzman, right, leaves New York Mets' Jose Reyes in the dust after tagging out Reyeswho tried to take two bases on Luis Castillo's eighth inning bunt in the Nationals 1-0 victory over the Mets in their baseball game at Shea Stadium in NewYork

3/4 from the hated mutts, now bring on the hated orioles!

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO NATS! keep the momentum going!

 

[rsdplaya]

man, i wish i woulda been able to see this game. great to see them take 3 of 4 against a division opponent.

maybe young filling in for johnson will be a boost, ya never know.

 

[j rain 23]

hopefully the momentum from the mutts series can carry over and we can sweep or at least take 2/3 from the orioles.

being from buffalo, i can't really relate to the rivalry, but it's still intense. i get the sense that orioles fans are jealous of the nationals...

ex: zimmerman >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> markakis.

LETS GOOOOOO NATS!

and i said this was a make it or break it week for our season, and said we're gonna right the ship, and we're def going in the right direction!

 

[doublejs07]

your OF sucks


*edit...

wow, I didn't know Elijah Dukes is a CAREER .176 hitter

unfortunately I won't be able to make up to B-More for the games tomorrow and sun cause I'll be out of town...5-3 win tonight...wasn't pretty, butI'll take it.

gotta love the O's flippin the brims of their hats up after a George Sherrill save...

you say career like dukes has played years in the league.

he'splayed 60 major league games. he hit 10 homers in 50 games last year with the rays proving his amazing power. dukes isa bona fide BEAST! athletic freak of nature.

anyways, lackluster loss. i thought it was gonna be smooth sailing to an easy w since we were hitting em hard in the first.

You would fit right in as an ESPN commentator.

1.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> markakis and any other young player in baseball for that matter. zimmerman isa far better and more accomplished player and foundation to build upon. it's not even debatable.

2.

is a BEAST.

3. nope. put the brooms away. if the nationals have any dignity they will not get swept by the orioles.

* i'll admit, our outfield is in shambles right now. the big eared bum austin kearns and the uncoordinated goon wily mo need to go. millz is going throughsome growing pains , HOWEVER there's no doubt in my mind he'll be a future surefire star. he is struggling in center though, i think he's bestsuited for right field. then dukes is just a flat out ATHLETIC FREAK. his combination of power, speed, and athleticism are unmatched. the man is 6'3",240, and plays center with effortless ease. millz and dukes will be solidly locking down the outfield for the next 10+ years.

@ Dukes....WHEN he makes contact with the ball he could at best become Rob Deer. Otherwise, he's just some .176 career hitter, who will mostlikely be out of MLB by the time he is 26. Being an athletic freak doesn't equate to being a good ball player.

Zimmerman is good...but he isn't as good as you think. He's not the best 3b in the NL, he's not the best 3b in MLB, he's not even the best 3bin his own division.

I'll get more into it later on...

I don't expect the sweep from Baltimore, but I'll take 2/3 in any series.

wow. just stop it please

 

[rsdplaya]

thank goodness we stole a game in that series. get us a little confidence for the home series against em. nice pitching by lannan

 

[doublejs07]

Yeah...Lannan was in the zone today...

like I said earlier, I didn't expect us to sweep, but I'll take 2/3 any day (and a total of 4/5 in the homestand..."swept" boston in 2)...

 

[j rain 23]

put the brooms back in the closet.

LANNAN 4 NL ROOKIE OF THE YR (volquez will come down to earth).

guzman with a solo shot. everybody wants to talk about reyes, ramirez, and rollins but don't sleep on guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuz-man!

best young player in baseball with the game winning double. over the last 2 weeks, he's hitting .313, with 5 homers, and 10 rbi. he's HEATING up! i sayhe'll finish the season with 30, maybe more homers and approach 100 rbi. zimmerman also better be recognized for being the UNCONTESTED best defensive 3b inbaseball and win his first gold glove or else there will be riots.

 

[rsdplaya]

yep, guzman is having a very solid season thus far. and z-man is puttin in work lately! let's get em boys!
