Seriously Geo?

[SABR Gamer]

This has been a really boring game.

[SABR Gamer]

Theriot, lol, he's a failure.

[javy knows my name]

Crap, Lou's gonna get tired of us striking out and make us all be hyper-aggressive now

[UMFan83]

Seriously Geo?

 

I had to go back to 2006 to find the last time Adam Dunn had 7 K's in 2 combined games. And Geo's not generally a high strikeout guy.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pena grounded to shortstop , safe at first on a fielding error, E6

[UMFan83]

I have a feeling the Nats put together a 3 run inning just to wake everyone up.

[rawaction]

Zambrano should not be pitching. And Theriot should not be at SS.

 

But one is for today, while the other is ever.

[cubbyvirus00]

See sig Theriot

[Fred Hornkohl]

Harris, pinch hitting for Cordero, popped out to first base

[Illini Iceman]

I have a feeling the Nats put together a 3 run inning just to wake everyone up.

 

 

Instead let's kill time by having an argument about whether or not Lou is abusing Zambrano by having him throw over 100 pitches in a 5 -0 game when we have 3 long relievers in the bullpen that need work. That is always fun.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lopez walked , Pena to second

Not really much to argue there.

Guzman grounded out to second, 4-3 , Pena to third, Lopez to second

Until they bring in Lieber and he coughs up a 3 run homer.

saturdays seem like a slow day for GD threads.

Z gets pumped!
