I was looking for the Phillies game here while Beltran popped that.
Its listed as being on my Comcast sports channel, and its not.

Only because he got fooled and had to sprint in/dive.

DUH!
That games at 8,lololol.

[Zvon]

When you feel you have a large enough sample, lemme know how Lawrence's stuff looks.

That K of Zimmerman reads like "good stuff",lol.

[Valadius]

He's topping out at 83 mph. Nats announcers - "you can put away the radar gun."

[Gwreck]

He got Zimmerman on a cutter on the outside corner, which looked pretty good.

Lawrence looked on in the first but it helps that Washington is just not a good team.

[Valadius]

Dookie doubles.

[Valadius]

Nats announcers - "Some Gary Sheffield in Milledge's swing"

Dookie with smart (but crazy-looking) run-down.

Yikes. Hey, who needs speed...

Eagles will be playing tonight, and the neighborhood is already starting to vibrate.

Maybe that vibration was that double to left by Lo Duca.

He's playing again. Im not complaining, I like him in there.
But I am surprised.

[Frayed Knot]

Already two mistakes on the bases -- we've just been lucky so far.
1) Reyes was picked off in the 1st (by a lot!) if the throw didn't go wide
2) LoDuca getting caught off 2nd base in the 2nd, a play which turned out not to matter because the Nats screwed up the run-down.

Early HRs tend to cover up sloppy shit.

[Valadius]

Kearns caught looking.

[Valadius]

Lawrence relying too much on the first-pitch fastball.

[Frayed Knot]

Lawrence of Anacostia* scoreless through 2






* this joke would work better next year as the new stadium is closer to the Anacostia river

[Valadius]

MILLEDGE MAKES AN AWESOME CATCH!!!!!!

So nothings changed but the breaks and we smacked one.
huh.

[Valadius]

Stan Kasten basically pleading with people to come to games. LOL.

[Valadius]

UGH. Awful K by Beltran there.

[Valadius]

Nats announcers having a discussion about whether the moon is waxing or waning.

[Zvon]

[Valadius]

GREEN CRUSHES IT!!!!!!!

Trying to take cleonjones' role?

4-0 Mets in charge.

Phils game getting underway in a few minutes.
Kyle Kendrick, who was hit real bad with a line drive will be starting.
I saw him get hit and figured he was out for at least a few weeks.
How bout that?

[Valadius]

I swear, the Nats announcers have ADD.

[Valadius]

That was a nasty K for Lawrence!

[Valadius]

Oh Lord. Now they're talking about Bonanza spin-offs.

[Valadius]

Wait, is Lenny Harris the Nats' hitting coach?

[Valadius]

It looks like he is! Whaddaya know.

[Zvon]

Bases fulla Nats, one out.

[Valadius]

PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Barely went foul.

[Valadius]

I'd pull Lawrence here.
