Strasburg closer to September shutdown

If they were going to strictly limit his innings, why didn't they wait and start him a little later so he could be available at the end of the season?

doubtfull,,,david johnson couldn't pull the team last year when he took over the nationals,,, surely the team could and couldn't make it after the first round in the playoffs,,the giants would be waiting for them,,,

How can Mr. Know It All Rizzo tell his players thinks for playing hard this season, and to the fans thinks for supporting the team , but we are going to shut down our best pitcher and probably there goes our chance to win the big trophy.

can't start your work at the middle of the season,,, if it had been done that way then so beat it,,

the red sox third baseman with a broken wrist,,, that got to hurt the red sox lineup,, should the red sox trade for youkillis???

the mariners and angels two worse bullpens from 2012 season,,,

the punchless halos look like a single A team against the mariners,, and santana did his part by allowing two homeruns to make the game a little more interested!!!

the nationals could trade for cliff lee to be strong at their playoffs hopes!!!

the padres team playing better games than the passive cubies,,,

the astros would be one of the toughest farm system where any team could turn and get a talented player well developed,,,

red sox aren't any where at least not this season,,,

yankees need to overcome their nemesis the rangers,,,

tigers would need to prove that indeed they are a serious competetive team,,,,

the royals would need to get a new GM manager/coaches/and a new doctor,,,

the mets would be watching the playoffs from the stands,,,

I don't think they expected to be where they are--I think they expected .500, and hoped for a little better than that.

On the whole I think both pens have been pretty good; last night was not a good night for the Mariners all the way around though. 2 RBIs on a sacrifice fly, and then wild-pitching in the winning run. They looked like a bunch of rookies, which is pretty much what they are...
