-
I'm not sure who this Strasburg dude is... but... he keeps this up he might just be a decent'ish pitcher. Just sayin'...
Astros with 2 Ks and a popup (or some kinda fly out) to begin T1. Middle 1: HOU 0, WAS 0
-
Evidently 'Juan Castro' is catching for the Astros. I presumed it was Jason Castro, but evidently I was mistaken as the Natinals announcers said it was 'Juan'...
-
Weiland's early perfecto/no-hit bid is gone after 1 (batter). 2nd dude singled to CF... Zimmerman up.
-
Any chance I'll break 10,000 posts today (in this thread)?
-
Uh, that'd require another 910.
-
Or rather 909... Rest easy folks, I ain't gonna try...
-
And B1 is in the books (Zimmerman K, one of the LaRoche dudes grounded out to The Altuve).
End 1: HOU 0, NATINALS 0
-
El Caballo el poppo uppo to el first basemano. 1 out, T2. STRASBURG STILL PERFECT THROUGH 4 BATTERS
-
TRAVIS BUCK!!! grounds out to SS. 2 outs T2.
-
How long until I switch over to the Washington radio feed...?
-
CJ shows Strasburg ain't shit.
-
How long until I switch over to the Washington radio feed...?
About a minute.
-
How long until I switch over to the Washington radio feed...?
Depends. How much self-loathing are you feeling tonight?!?
AND BIG F'ING JOHNSON breaks up the 1.2 inning perfecto/no-hitter with a liner into left center. 2 outs T2 BFJ on 1B.
-
Don't mess with our Johnson.
-
Oddly, Juan Castro is hitting about as crapily as Jason Castro... Grounder to 2B ends the BFJ threat after 2...
Middle 2: HOU 0, WAS 0
-
Cholula is the Official Hot Sauce of the Washington Natinals and flamethrowers everywhere.
-

Middle 2: HOU 0, WAS 0
This might not be the week his hitting improves.
-
2B ump took himself out of the game.
-
INJURY ALERT: 2BU out with some kinda ouchy on his leg....
-

Jinx.
-
The Natinals $126M flied out to RF after getting handcuffed. Xavier Nady with a single into right (0-2 pitch, but his a pretty good one). 1 out, Xavier on 1B.
-
Not sure I like the Nationals announcers yet. They seem way too excited about everything.
-
Ankiel with a fly-out to RF. 2 outs, N-A-D-Y still on 1B. 2BU still not at 2B. B2.
-
The DC crew is low tones, relaxing UNTIL SOMEONE HITS THE BALL and then it tapers off as the play is made...
-
Bruins/Caps game about to start as well. Should be a good one.
-
The Osteens are here, btw.
-
Jinx.
No jinx, you smoked me by 12 seconds...
And Ramos flied out to RF.
End 2: HOU 0, NATINALS 0
-
The Osteens are here, btw.
Do they have flight attendants at Natinals games?!? If so, you better go warn 'em quick!
T3: Altuve, Weiland, Schreefer due up
-
The Osteens are here, btw.
I don't get that at all. Of course, I don't pay much attention either.
-
Bruins/Caps game about to start as well. Should be a good one.
Metro was packed with Caps jerseys. Last two games were great.
-
The Altuve does not fear The Strasburg.
-
Mr. The Altuve with a single up the middle. T3: 0 out, Aluve on 1B.
-
Metro was packed with Caps jerseys. Last two games were great.
I don't have a dog in that fight but I do enjoy playoff hockey.
-
KYLE WEILAND WITH HIS FIRST MLB SAC BUNT. Yes, you read it here! Mr. The Altuve on 2B, 1 out, T3, Schreefer up.
-
Sounds like the DC guys dig that funny little reefer man.
-
The Altuve does not fear The Strasburg.
C'mon Strasburg, you can't throw that weak ass shit to Mr. The Altuve, bitch!
-
98 to 78 is hardly fair.
-
But evidently he can throw it to Schreefer, who strikes out looking for out #2. Mr. The Altuve still on 2B. JED at the dish.
-
98 to 78 is hardly fair.
Oswalt used to do 96 to 72
-
98 to 78 is hardly fair.
Neither is watching Jed pop-up to the 3B in foul territory with Mr. The Altuve in scoring position... but... THAT. JUST. HAPPENED. Seriously!
Middle 3: HOU 0, WAS 0
-
Not sure I like the Nationals announcers yet. They seem way too excited about everything.
I have decided, and I don't. JD and Brownie rock.
-
STRASBURG now 0-5 on the season. SERIOUSLY!
And that last 0-fer delivered via a soft liner to Mr. The Altuve. 1 out, none on, B3.
-
Desmond doubles.
-
Ian Desmond grounds one in between BFJ and 3B. Strong throw from JD, but not in time to get the speedy Desmond before he got the double... B3, 1 out, runner on 2B.
-
I have decided, and I don't. JD and Brownie rock.
I agree.
-
Can someone teach the pitchers to just hold the ball on those bunt plays?
-
Crap.
-
Nats score first on a poorly played but awesomely begun bunt by Weiland.
-
Natinals beating the Astros 3-2 (in the hit department that is). And Lombardozzi single-handidly doubles the Natinals hit lead to now 4-2. REALLY nice bunt-for-hit with an E1 allowing Desmond to score (and Lombardozzi to get to 2B). B3, HOU 0, WAS 1: 1 out, runner at 2B.
-
Nats score first on a poorly played but awesomely begun bunt by Weiland.
I'm outta PBP juice after B3, and thus do hereby bequeath the remainder of tonights PBP to you, your heirs, agents, and assigns...
Zimmerman walks. B3: 1 out, runners at 1B and 2B: A LaRoche (whichever one it is) is up for the Natinals.
-
And speaking of 'Juice' I guess the Clemens retrial just started up again.
I guess A LaRoche missed the 'juice' memo, or opted against it, as he flew out to the warning track in RF for out #2. Lombardozzi tags and goes to 3B on the play. B3: 2 outs, runners at the corners for the Natinals. Werth up.
-
Since I have to leave for "work" in 20 minutes, I'll throw this out now.
I made a pot of collards yesterday, using drippings from the last turkey I smoked.
Best. Greens. Ever.
-
1-0 Nats after 3.
-
If you're looking at Werth's $126M contract and basing Werth's worth on the amount of souvenirs he sent into the stands in B3, then he might be pulling his weight. If you're evaluating Werth's worth on production in B3 of the 4/16/12 Natinals v. Astros game, then you'd pretty much consider it a shitty deal...
Werth flies out to Schreefer to end B3.
End 3: HOU 0, WAS 1
-
And Mr. Happy, you've hereby been BEQUEATHED. Yes. I. Just. Did. That.!!!
-
4 Ks for SS so far.
-
And while I am done with PBP for the evening, I will have to add that Strasburg just struck out JD on a wicked-looking curveball there...
-
4 Ks for SS so far.
Yes, but is he gonna try to throw that weak assed shit to Mr. The Altuve?!?
-

JD does not look good on nasty curveballs.
-

Not if he knows what's good for him.
-
JD does not look good on nasty curveballs.
Neither did Jim Thorpe.
Ergo, J D Martinez = Jim Thorpe. Q.E.D.
-
Strasburg's MLB picture looks like King Dork.
-
Caps go up 1-0 on the power play.
-
That's Mr. King Dork to me.
-
Nady pops to right, one out.
-
Ankiel pops to Lowrie, two down.
-
JD does not look good on nasty curveballs.
SS is doing that to a lot of batters this year.
-
Well, fuck.
-
Ramos with a solo jack to RCF. 2-0.
-
SS lines a single past CJ.
-
Weiland's command has been spotty.
-
The question is how long we'll have to face SS, for I bet that he's still on a strict pitch count limit. Of course, their bully has been really good too.
-
Castro is out again. That's quickly becoming tiresome to me.
-

Even with Storen gone, it's a hell of a staff.
-

Well thankfully Castro only took 1 pitch so SS can stay in longer
-
57 pitches for SS. He's got a few more innings to go.
-
Third look at Weiland. Hope that he can get through out unscathed.
-
First sign of violence at the end of the first period with some pushing and shit talking. Caps lead 1-0.
-

I bet he's on a 90 pitch count.

I presumed you were discussing the President's Race scuffle between 'Tom' and 'George'...
-
Come on, Weiland.
-

Mildly humorous.
-

It was actually about like that. Nowhere near the stuff seen in the Flyers/Pens series.
-
Smooth ass double play.
-
Come on, Weiland.
The pitcher's best friend showed up for Weiland.
-
Mildly humorous.
Well gotta say that is more humorous than my comments typically are... I'll take it!
-
Nats need to be punished for the Wave.
-
The SS hook is a thing of beauty.
-
First curve to JD rang up a nasty factor of 100
-
The ability of SS to go 97 and 79 is a thing that most pitchers would sell their souls to the devil for.
-
Great AB by JD.
-
The Nats color guy knows the game pretty well. I have agreed with everything that he's said thus far.
-
Great AB by JD.
Really great.
-
Ankiel has a bit of an arm.
-
Ankiel couldn't get the ball over the plate from the mound but can do it from centerfield.
-
0 for 12
-
Ankiel's throw was uncanny.
-
What a fucking splitter to Buck.
-
0 for 13
-
HPU has been taking some shit from the home crowd for some balls and strikes calls.
-
This just in: DoRay suck.
-
Big Fucking Johnson!
-
CJ!!!
-
CJ!!!! We're knotted at 2.
-
1for14
-
Nice
-
SS' ERA just tripled
-
I bet that this is SS's last inning.
-
Come on, Castro. Fuck!!!!
-
This team is definitely scrappy.
-
This may be this kid's last batter, but the Astros apparently have no one up yet--big mistake in my view.
-
Come on, Weiland. don't fuck up here.
-
What do you know, Castro blocked one.
-
Well, fuckity fuck fuck. You had it coming, Millsie, letting Weiland face a guy for the fourth time who had been making solid contact.
-
damn
-
Nerts.
-
Pen is spent. Lyon needs to be cut
-
Oh shit. Lyon is up.
-
Nice work, Millsie. 6-2 now.
-
Really great.
I was otherwise occupied and missed it. Brief description por favor?!?
-
WW on to pitch to Laroche.
-
I'm having a senior moment and can't remember what it was.
-

He worked from 1-2 to a walk when SS was throwing nasty stuff.
-
That escalated quickly.
-
The Altuve doubles to the wall.
-
To anybody who cares and can fix it, the game zone link from the main page (yes it still exists) doesn't work.
-
He worked from 1-2 to a walk when SS was throwing nasty stuff.
Now I remember. Yes. He fought off some very tough pitches.
-
If I'm pitching, I have to have that 2-2 call or it's going to be bad news.
-
Come on, Lowrie. Let's have a good at bat.
-
Well, fuck.
-
Might as well let Lyon finish this one.
-
Went around?!? BULLCRAP!!!
-
Well, crap.
-
Might as well let Lyon finish this one.
Yep. But it will still be painful.
-
Went around?!? BULLCRAP!!!
Even the Natinals announcer are commenting on how JD got JOBBED there...
-
Well, Werth starts it off with a single.
-
Even the Natinals announcer are commenting on how JD got JOBBED there...
Yep, and now Lyon is getting stiffed by the HPU.
-
I now recognize the voice of the Nats color man to be F. P. Santangelo, who used to do pre- and -post-game stuff for the Giants last year.
-
Lyon gets out of it. 6-2 Them Top 8
-
I'm not convinced Mills knows how to run a pitching staff.
-
Bah, Castro has to make contact there
-
Shit, Mr. The Altuve put a charge into that but nice running 'get' by Nady...
-
Well the good news is Lyon can be run out again and save the pen
-
Lyon does it again???? Nah. Too good to be true.
-
I'm not convinced Mills knows how to run a pitching staff.
Last year, I thought that he did fine with it. But tonight was not his night.
-

He should have had someone going at the start of the inning.
-
Fuck, this guy hit 99.
-
He should have had someone going at the start of the inning.
I agree and called him down on it the minute that it happened.
-
This guy Rodriguez is nasty.
-
Fuck I feel like some of these games could have gone the Astros way.
-
He's throwing a 92-93 offspeed pitch.
-
Fuck I feel like some of these games could have gone the Astros way.
Absolutely. We've run ourselves out of a couple of games, Millsie blew it tonight, and we've made errors to lose a few others.

I am enjoying the games more this year though.
-
shitfuck. 6-3 Nats SS 2-0 Ball game.
-

Me too. This team is cheeky.
