Sheesh, what a game...

     Just when I had resigned myself to seeing the Nats lose yet another close game, they just might fool me tonight.

     As I'm writing this, it's 10:15 Eastern time...and the Nats are batting in the bottom of the 10th, tied @ 5 apiece. And wouldn't you know, Jesus Flores is at bat with a chance to win it. Runners @ 1st and 3rd, 1 out...

     And, a fielder's choice to the plate. 2 out.

SOMETHING goes right for the Nasty Nats now

     After everything that's gone wrong for the Nationals as of late, tonight's game against the Marlins seems such a welcome relief. To recap:

     Collin Balester, who came up from Columbus to step into Shawn Hill's spot in the rotation, earned (at least to me, anyway) the right to another start with his effort tonight. Basically, 5 IP; 1 ER; 1 hit; 3 (I believe) walks; 1 hit batsman...and left with a 2-1 lead. Believe me, it got a little dicey there in the 5th with the bases loaded--yet he got out of that deal.

A farmhand gets his chance today for the Nats

     Chances are, even after today, you're not going to remember the name Roger Bernadina. Today, however, he gets his chance to show Nats fans (not to mention the front office) what he's worth.

     I just wish it were under better circumstances.

     You may have seen it by now, but for the uninitiated Lastings Milledge is on the DL after hurting himself last night against the Orioles running down a ball. He'd caught his right foot under the padding in left-center field and strained his groin. We didn't know how severe it was until late in the game.
