OK, the challenge is out there. Turner is on base.

[Frayed Knot]

And for the 49th out of 54 times on base this season, the red head has been erased (4) and/or stranded (45) on the base paths.

[Frayed Knot]

Hmmmm, Rice against the LHP-killing Hariston?!!?
Would have been a good spot for a Vic Black intro maybe.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I have a bad feeling about this.

[Fman99]

Hi, I'm Scott Rice and I'm here to piss your lead away.

[Fman99]

Harper bunting with no one out and two men on base. Stupid.

[Edgy MD]

Sacrificing with Harper?

OK, thanks, Davy!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hey, I'm still ecstatic about the fact that Hairston didn't hit it a half-mile. The bunt just adds to that.

[Frayed Knot]

The Nats have had about five single up the middle tonight which were about three feet away from being GiDPs
Span's in this inning was one.



I'm thinking Harper did that bunt on his own.

Yeah, I wondered about that. He moves the runners over, for sure. But damn, he's Bryce Freaking Harper and he's supposed to drive those guys in.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I have difficulty seeing any way that he didn't do that on his own.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

There's one.

Could he have seen TC out of the corner of his eye telling Duds to field back? And then was like HA!,I'll show him. That would be typical Harperishness.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm worried that the gift run Acthinson gave them is going to haunt us.

Idiotic throw by Q.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Freaking horrible.

Niese gets screwed.

[Zvon]

Q had more time for that throw. Good play and great try, but he had more time and rushed.

Don't think it was idiotic, just wasn't good enough.
If it's on target he gets him there.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"You know, they wouldn't have scored that run if not for Harper's savvy--"

It's September, for fuck's sake. WHY isn't Tejada up here?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Horrible.

[Guest themetfairy]

Fuck Fuck Fuck!!!!!

Sadly, I think it's because the 51s are in the playoffs.

[Edgy MD]

Lousy game.

[bmfc1]

Q should have held it but as it turns out, everyone would have scored on the double. Frigging bullpen.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yes, for God's sake, we don't want to turn off the 51* diehards.

*Count approximate

[Zvon]

I did not expect them to take a lead. Cuz of the extra innings business. Well, I'm still not off the hook yet. I can be blamed for extra frames but not for a loss.

That entire half inning gives me pain in my brain/heart/cock/anus.

[Frayed Knot]

Soriano annoys me for some unspecific reason.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It's adorable in a way, this ESPN announcer married-to-the-storyline thing. In another way, it's irritating, and totally inaccurate-- this would NOT save the Nats season.
