and yes, I would have loved it if we could control our own destiny— but this is baseball: it ain’t over til it’s over. I look at those standings and I see that we’re not dead yet, and I plan on fighting til there is not reason to fight anymore.
I’m just preparing myself to surrender. We’ve said all along that the Nationals were too tough an opponent. Now they’re proving it on the biggest stage.
If he’s healthy (which, granted, is a legitimate concern, as Bedard’s a bit fragile), he’s going to be unfair. This is about as much of a certainty as it can be for any pitcher in the league.
Hilariously, this new game thread is necessitated by the fact that we dominated the last one with comments about other games.
esoteric - September 27, 2008
I regret opening this.
Jeff Sullivan - September 27, 2008
I regret liking baseball
Graham MacAree - September 27, 2008
Just take it you girl
Jeff Sullivan - September 27, 2008
Amazing that a non tv game could need two threads
JI - September 27, 2008
And they're even somewhat on-topic
Jeff Sullivan - September 27, 2008
Much like Game 2, I fear Game 2nd to last
will end in heartbreak.
Matthew - September 27, 2008
Sure why not leave him in
Jeff Sullivan - September 27, 2008
Great, meaningless Sept baseball apparently means "have your SP throw lots of pitches baseball"
Matthew - September 27, 2008
Riggleman likes his SPs

Have you seen the bullpen?
Gotta win gotta win gotta win
Jeff Sullivan - September 27, 2008
Batista is a veteran whoas closed
JI - September 27, 2008
I think the A's are closet Nats fans.
Blicks - September 27, 2008
They got Inoa. Couldn't they just let us have Strasburg?
andrewgolfsalot - September 27, 2008
Strasburg's a bigger guarantee to make it
than Inoa.
Blicks - September 27, 2008
Just sayin' a little reciprocity, please.
andrewgolfsalot - September 27, 2008
No hitter, gone.
andrewgolfsalot - September 27, 2008
...And there goes the no-hitter!
Crystal for DH - September 27, 2008
Man, someone please have the Felix Pie throw giffed?
andrewgolfsalot - September 27, 2008
If you don't pull him now the quality start may disappear
Jeff Sullivan - September 27, 2008
He listened for once.
Kirsten Schlewitz - September 27, 2008
Fuckin' Ryan Braun...he could've scored on that.
But to be fair everyone thought it would be caught.

Funny how the release of Rick White has actually hurt us this season.
Coach Owens - September 27, 2008
Batista

But then Batista could be a starter.
Coach Owens - September 27, 2008
Silva
JI - September 27, 2008
Batista could be in instead of RRS.
Coach Owens - September 27, 2008
Be realistic
JI - September 27, 2008
I'd rather dream of the pitching staff than be realistic.
Especially right now with us on the verge of losing Strasburg. >:(
Coach Owens - September 27, 2008
Stay here
You might be good luck

Here’s to mediocre baseball lifers.

Marquis just PEGGED Braun in the back.
And now Prince Fielder is up with the bases loaded and 1 out.

And the Phillies score again.

I'd slit my wrist but this goddamn cast is in the way.

Let go.
It’s easier that way.

That would be stupid considering we are one game out on the last day.
JI - September 27, 2008
I don't care that much
Dave says there is a case for Green and he tends to be right more often than Graham
Robert - September 27, 2008
They could take Green

Then we get Strasburg
JLC - September 27, 2008
What if green is better?
JI - September 27, 2008
It's not about Green or Strasburg
it’s about getting the number one pick overall and guaranteeing we get to select the best player in that draft class.
BrianL - September 27, 2008
Yes but it's hopeless and we should ready ourselves to settle
Jeff Sullivan - September 27, 2008

Hey, and there's at least one more interesting baseball game going on tonight.
Assuming the Royals can hold on and beat the Twins, the White Sox can retake the lead in the AL Central with a win over the Indians.

But that would be stupid

At this point, I'm just looking for interesting baseball.
I don’t really care about either the Twins or the W. Sox (even though I live on the South Side), I just like high stakes baseball.

No Strasburg, no ownership change=disaster for years!
basebliman - September 27, 2008
We could easily still get Strasburg if we want to
Jeff Sullivan - September 27, 2008
how?
because the nats are broke?
basebliman - September 27, 2008
Because Bowden's just going to draft a young black dropout
I have decided that what happens over the next several months re: the draft order is unpredictable.
Jeff Sullivan - September 27, 2008
Or Bowden gets fired.
Blicks - September 27, 2008
Bowden doesn't even draft anyway
I’m just preparing myself to surrender. We’ve said all along that the Nationals were too tough an opponent. Now they’re proving it on the biggest stage.
Jeff Sullivan - September 27, 2008
JI - September 27, 2008
High expectations lead to disappointment.
I dont buy that the Nats wont draft that onedudewhatshisface.
