BREAK UP THE F-ING NATIONALS

[DeathFromAbove1979]

Laying 24 runs on the Giants in their series? That's intense. Thought they were gonna lay another egg going for the sweep again. Super awesome rally, very excited to hit the stadium tonight!

sweeping SF w/ bumgarner and cain on the mound... yikes.

the middle of the lineup is who we thought they were.

[Thousand Made-Up Loves]

They really broke out of that slump. Amazing.

Looking forward to tonight's game, too.

Anyone know if any of the Nats will be in the home run derby?

[James Ford]

Desmond doesn't look too injured to play in the all-star game...

[DeathFromAbove1979]

I'd rather him get the rest anyway. Was really hoping they'd get to 50 wins, what a disappointing series. I went on Friday and it was so motherfuckering humid. I just sat there sweating non stop. I can't imagine the other 2 games.

if you're picked to play the allstar game you should play.. if you choose not to you're no allstar.

Meh, I'm more concerned about the team. At least he has that notch on his belt I guess...

Looks like the Nats are winning home field advantage for the Wolrd Series.

Announcer (same one who referred to Jered Weaver and "Jeff" Weaver): There's a rumor that they're going to shut down Strasburg after 165 innings.

Other Announcer: It's more than a rumor. GM Rizzo has been adament about it.

First Announcer: Well if that's true, and they haven't told Strasburg, then that's just odd.


Where did they get this idiot announcer?

Gold shoes?  Tagging from 1st to 2nd with an 8-0 lead?

Douchebag. 

Or whatever word you think should replace it.


Guess that ball in the 5th was lost in the reflection of his shoes....

Bwah, I heard that too. Joe Buck is completely insufferable. I hope he gets hit by a truck leaving the stadium.

BTW, Steve Czaban's Tim McCarver impressions are never not funny.

u mad bro?

[vansmack]

That's a clown question bro.

Those shoes were inappropriate for a rookie in his first all star game. Respect the game and it will respect you back.

Stras was on 106.7 The Fan on Monday and they asked him about the inning restriction and he said that they have not talked to him about it. Also, Davey and Rizzo have both said "No one has said 160 innings". From what I understand, that's where Zimmerman was shut down last year, so I think the media has run with that. For the skipper AND the GM to say that that hasn't been said AND the pitcher I feel like.......the media is taking this number and throwing it out there based on what happened last year in almost the same situation...
