BREAK UP THE F-ING NATIONALS

[DeathFromAbove1979]

I meant fire the manager, but yeah what the hell...fire the whole team, all of them. Break up the F-ing Nationals!

All of them?

I was talking about all 70 year olds calling themselves Davey.

I agree though. Fire them all. 10-1? Seriously? This team isn't going to win anything ever again. Last year was the high water mark. *waits for 60 game winning streak*

Like a pitcher having to go see Lewis Yocum, Bryce Harper having to go see Dr. James Andrews is not a good thing for baseball.

[gaaaaaaaaah]

yeah, probably doesnt bode well

bryce coming back so soon after that crash was absurd. its baffling that the nats did what they did with strasburg last year but they did nothing to keep bryce out of the lineup after he ran full speed into the fucking wall, days after jumping into another wall. he should have sat a few days after the first collision, and been dl'd after the second. i know he hit those two huge home runs after coming back, but other than that he was clearly not right

plus letting espinosa play all year with a broken wrist and torn rotator cuff? even still its like theyre expecting that shit to just heal on its own

this team is just a mess all over

[James Ford]

fire the manager

[shemptiness]

If he's healthy (and I don't mean he passes his physical, but avoids the DL next season) he's a steal at $13m, and the Angels offered Haren a one-year deal with an option for a second last week, but he turned it down.  The money was apparently nowhere close to the Nationals' $13 million offered him, but if the team that knows him best was giving him an offer, that's a pretty good sign for your team.

In retrospect $13M doesn't seem like such a steal right now.  And I haven't heard any whispers about any injuries.

It almost looks like Davey and Rizzo have been taking advice from Shanahan.

His last 3 or 4 starts start off good and then he just falls apart. Reminds me of some of EJax games last year when he would go 5, 6 innings and then just explode in the last one. So weird.

They should use Haren as a pinch hitter the way they used Jackson as a pinch runner.

now we're talkin'

Yeah, I posted somewhere in here that letting Haren go was the one correct thing Anaheim did this off season.

Sure, Blanton has been god awful, but he's half the price and his second half splits are encouraging.  With any luck the team could finish at .500 this season!

Haren was a strange case. He was so good at eating innings and keeping the team in ball games when they needed it, and then he'd have the occasional lights out game where he was dominant.  Then he got hurt for the first time in his career and has never been the same since.  Shame really.

Good to see the bats wake up....a  little bit... When they were up 1-0 I was convinced they'd blow it. I can't say enough about Ian Desmond. That's my mans right there.

There should be a rule in baseball that everyone has to have a pitching motion like Ross Ohlendorf.

Old school

[DeathFromAbove1979]

Hahaha! Watching that last night was kind of mind boggling. It would have been real stupid if he didn't have the game he had. Wish I could watch the game today. Will have to follow on the live.....game day thing on their site.

Yep.  Awesome.
