[Julio3000]

I was just doing it. Thanks for stepping up.

[Julio3000]

[Dalyn]

Also.

Uggla bashes the plunk out of balls on Sunday. Must be a Catholic thing.

.189 .333 .604 .937

I can pitch better than Freddy Garcia, and I can't pitch. No idea what he is doing on a WS hopeful team.

It's the unusual delivery of Wood that really throws 'em off.

[Julio3000]

Play me or trade me.

-Elliot Johnson

[Teheran_49]

What a smart play by Simmons. Those are things the average fan wouldn't see which makes him so great defensively.

[Teheran_49]

Wood is struggling..

[nsacpi]

Expecting a big game from Laird today.

[nsacpi]

Play me or trade me.

-Elliot Johnson

Laird has usurped his position as the milk pumpkin.

[Julio3000]

Laird has usurped his position as the milk pumpkin.

Fredi Gonzales 2013. Steady milking that pumpkin.

[Dalyn]

Fredi Gonzales 2013. Steady milking that pumpkin.

Pumpkin seed. He likes it.

[thethe]

Weak wood tonight.

[nsacpi]

Laird punished that pitch.

[nsacpi]

Major innovation by Fredi hitting BJ ahead of Uggla.

[Dalyn]

Just missed. :Sad:

BJ looks good.

[The Chosen One]

Good to see Uggla and BJ get some good wood.

[Dalyn]

Good to see Uggla and BJ get some good wood.

At least someone in the game is getting good wood.

[Garmel]

Three hard hit shots in that inning and not a damn thing to show for it.

[Dalyn]

Come on, Wood! You know Fredi is dying to bring in Garcia. Don't give him a reason!

[nsacpi]

Wouldn't surprise me to see the Marlins make the playoffs next year.

[Dalyn]

Wood down.

[Dalyn]

Would like to see a walk here.

[The Chosen One]

Wouldn't surprise me to see the Marlins make the playoffs next year.

That's if the Nationals don't catch up to them.

[Dalyn]

That's if the Nationals don't catch up to them.

If the Nationals win tomorrow, they clinch the division next year.

[Dalyn]

Plunk. CJ gets that.

[Dalyn]

Fredi about to pull Wood. It is going to get messy.

[Dalyn]

Flotsam.

[tvsportscaster]

Wood must have a University of Georgia hangover today, because he's absolutely awful.

[Dalyn]

Come on, Wood! You know Fredi is dying to bring in Garcia. Don't give him a reason!


:facepalm:

[Dalyn]

I really hope he took his HGH this morning.

[Dalyn]

Nice play.

[cajunrevenge]

That's if the Nationals don't catch up to them.

If they keep playing like this they will pass us before the All Star break!

[Krovahn]

TIMBER!!!

[Krovahn]

In all seriousness, every pitcher has games like this, unfortunately. Hopefully Wood learns from this and grows.

[Julio3000]

Well, I feel like all of the air had been let out of my pumpkin.

[Dalyn]

Wood just needs a little fi--kick in the butt. Growing pains.

[Heyward]

Welp, just one of those games, it happens.

Oh well, get em tommorow.

[nsacpi]

Freddy Garcia making a bid for the post-season rotation. Could be the big pumpkin Fredi has been looking for.

[jpack1]

Man Uggla sucks.

[Runnin]

Looks like a controlled loss.

[tvsportscaster]

Kind of off topic, but here's a prime example of what's wrong with Major League Baseball. ESPN is allowed to change the Nats-Mets game to Sunday night when the Mets have to travel to Atlanta after the game for a 1:00 Labor Day start in Atlanta. That is patently not fair to the Mets and they should step in situations like that and not allow that to happen.

[The Chosen One]

Can someone explain why we had a 5:00 start time?

Every sunday that we're not in the ESPN game at home, it's always 1pm.

It's something the Braves are trying during the Labor Day weekend, they did it last year in the famous game where Chipper hit the walk off 3-run homer off Paplebon in the 9th.

[VirginiaBrave]

NASCAR being in town have anything to do with it?

[Runnin]

Well, I feel like all of the air had been let out of my pumpkin.
Pumpkin does me like that too.

[bravebonebook]

See where Wood resembled his alma mater Sunday and the Nats won in Primetime (bonus points for winning on the Every Sportscaster Praises Nationals network). Does that mean they've tied us for the NL East lead??
