The Nats Thread

[gaaaaaaaaah]

soriano has to be running out of playoff auditions now. todays 9th wasnt that bad by his recent standards but man, every single ball was crushed, and the marlins are a depleted lineup playing in a cavernous ballpark. doesnt really inspire any confidence come playoff time.

Would the Nats be willing to trade him straight up for Ubaldo?

Isn't his contract up after this season? Did he reach his innings count for the option or whatever? Or am I totally making up his contract...

[gaaaaaaaaah]

his 2015 option would have triggered with 120 games finished between this year and last. he was already a bit of a longshot there but losing the closer job cemented that not happening

so barring another unexpected free agent splash, its drews job next year

Holy fucking god what a catch. What a scene!

[gaaaaaaaaah]

and to think i watched the pirates/reds game all afternoon cuz the nats had nothing to play for 

switched over for the last catch though. great play.

If I was that kid, Zimmerman is buying me a Rolex tonite. At no point while that ball was in the air, did I think it was going to be caught. I was certain that was falling in and wrecking that thing.

^^ that's incredible. I switched back over to the Tigers game about 10 seconds after the ball was caught so I missed that but that has got to be the weirdest emotional swing going from I'm about to pitch a no-hitter to I just blew a no-hitter to oh my God I actually did throw a no-hitter.

[gaaaaaaaaah]

the pessimist in me wonders how much jordans contract asking price went up this afternoon

[imbecile]

Crazy game to be at.  All the starters getting subbed out after each hit they recorded, took a bit of the attention off the no-no.  But once they (the majority of starters were out), it completely shifted to Zimms pitching. 

There was a collective groan/gasp when that ball was hit.  Then everyone just went bonkers.  Good times.

I was at the game. Holy friggin crap. That 2 or 3 seconds that ball was flying through the air felt like an absolute eternity! The place went CRAZY when Souza made that grab. Holy crap. So much fun. So exhilirating! That was a weird/fun game to be at. Seeing all the starters come out one by one was special. I didn't realize Zimm was pitching a no no until after the 6th. I looked over to the scoreboard and got super giddy. I turned to my girlfriend in the 8th and said "Zimm is about to pitch.... a complete game..." lol. Amazing way to end the season.

Anyone know if we'll get the late game on Friday? Or when the schedule comes out for the wild card and NLDS games?

Nats games will be on FS1 or MLB Network.  No TBS.
