Wow, a hit

Lucky for the Nats, we let Chris Heisey bat.

3 innings ... one baserunner ... whoops ... DP ball.

Help me out here ... runners 1st and 2nd, nobody out.
Hannahan at the plate, Mesoraco on deck.
Hannahan doesn't bunt, which -- lucky for us -- Mesoraco, slow as he is the catcher, didn't ground into a DP, but does hit a sac fly which doesn't score a run because Dusty fails to bunt the men over to 2nd and 3rd.

So Frazier gets a hit, and Paul only makes it to 2nd with Choo coming up.


What the F***.

Hey the Reds hit the ball really hard in this game.If Denard Span didn't make 2 brilliant plays in CF we would have took the lead.Things are not going are way simple as that,and I also think this team is very tired and worn down.Being that they are on a stretch on playing 20 in a row.After todays game I feel as if they did show signs of coming out of the slump, Especially Votto and BP.

Getting the shit kicked out if you in the opening series of a 20 game roadie is how teams dig a hole big enough to bury themselves in, in April. All these games count. Is it a coincidence that Dusty's teams always go on a hit diet in the first year of a 2 year deal for Dusty ? There is a fine line between laid back and just lazy... not talking hustle on the field, but sense of work ethic and urgency before and after games. I think it's called preparation. It's a result of perspiration.
