Oh it was a total classic.

Welcome, Vespy.

 

[Vespy89]

Thanks glad to be here and ready for the stretch run 17 games in 17 days starting tonight.

Start of a 6 game home-stand against the Phillies and Braves.

9/5: Jerome Williams vs. Strasburg
9/6: Roark vs. AJ Burnett
9/7: Gio vs. Cole Hamels

Need to get this series started off right by roughing up Williams tonight.

 

[Vespy89]

Need a good start from Stras tonight to get things off to a good start knowing what is coming our way on monday.

Stretch run time.

24 games left, all against the N.L. East. Now, is that a good thing or a bad thing? 3 of our 4 division rivals have given us fits this year.

Philly: 3 games left at home. Season series is tied 8-8
Barves: 6 games left, 3 at home, 3 on road. Barves lead season series 9-4.
Marlins: 8 games left, 4 at home, 4 on road. Nats lead season series 6-5.
Mets: 7 games left, 3 at home, 4 on road. Nats lead season series 10-2.

Ramos is catching Stras tonight. Past few times he's pitched, his battery mate (love that term) was Lobaton. Intrigued to see how well he pitches.

 

[Vespy89]

Ok here we go almost game time.

Tony Two Bags puts the Nats up 5-0 with a two RBI double!!!

60th extra-base hit of the year. This kid is awesome!

I fucking love this team.

Why did the trainer come out for Stras in the 6th?

Why did the trainer come out for Stras in the 6th?

I don't know. I missed it.

But I like that the magic number may be dropping 2 tonight.

Denard Span... too fast for his own good.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

It's nights like tonight that I feel lucky to have such a boring and reliable closer.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Fucking unbelievable....

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

They have to go back to Storen in the postseason, I'm sorry.

They have to go back to Storen in the postseason, I'm sorry.

I've always hated Soriano. You can't put yourself in the situations he does and always get out of them.

His ERA is over 3! His WHIP is mediocre at best.

To be fair, the fielding in the 8th really killed us tonight.

That was a useless double steal attempt. Thanks, Phillies!

 

[elocomotive]

Ooooo... 9-8 Phils now with 1 out and runners on 1st and 2nd.
