The Nationals lineup leads the Mets in Zs, 4-0. Were up 1-0 in Qs.

[Ceetar]

One hit. no runs. here's YOung.

[metirish]

Harper has such a short swing eh?

[TransMonk]

I have to admit, I enjoy rooting for Chris Young.

[Guest themetfairy]

The camera angles from this ballpark make me seasick.

[Frayed Knot]

Typical Nats game so far -- at least 90% of the time I tune into one of their games it's in the 5th inning and it's 1-0 somebody
Sometimes there's a real scoring orgy and it's 1-1 instead.

[Edgy MD]

Thole buys a piece of Zimmy.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Quintie is beginning to piss me off.

[Edgy MD]

Not to many MLB players out there who can claim to have thrown one over the head of Chris Young.

[Frayed Knot]

In all a reasonably encouraging outing from Young.
If he could have retired the opposing pitcher he'd probably still be in there.

And his PH cashed in his AB too.

I'm still trying to figure out how you can bounce one over the backstop and the high screen.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Valdespin's a hell of a hitter when he makes contact with the ball.

[Guest themetfairy]

Wright's homer wasn't cheap either!

[Edgy MD]

That's Met POWA!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

We need to recruit a GIF-maker. Because that Charlie Brown face Zimmermann just made watching SugarPants' fly leave the park is so good, it should require confession afterward.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

The parent's lot in life - change a stinky diaper and miss seeing a home run.

[TransMonk]

Wright is the man.

Dang.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Double-switched Duda out? While subbing in Valdespin? And leaving in Ike? That's so questionable, I can't stop inflecting my sentences? This way?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Danny Espinosa's Wooly Willie beard is so ersatz-looking, he should name it "Katie Holmes."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Awkward pop-up with even more awkward bounce that DW picks up on a full run and throws across his body... On that failed sac bunt force-play, David Wright just made maybe the most mundane-looking crazy play I've seen since the Eric Bruntlett game-ending unassisted triple.

do any of you have an MLB.TV account? sorta required.

*checks for a gif making program* I can use PHotoshop right?

[Fman99]

Agreed on the Wright assist. That ball took a meshuggah bounce.
