    But, but I thought the Nats were starting a historic run to make it close...?

    Haha...yep...the Nats have to go 21-4 just to get to 90 wins. That would be miraculous if they did given how poorly they've played.

    It will be funny if the Nats lose tonight against the Phils as they have Kevin Frandsen batting 3rd tonight...you read that right Kevin Frandsen is batting third for the Phils.

    Ryne Sandberg trying to lock down that job. Actually, I kind of wonder if he wouldn't be better off not getting it.

    Great sign. Gattis took something off his swing and went the other way.

    Man, Gattis has a double there if not for Lagares who is a great defender. Great play by him or that's a double.

    Uggla is still terrible, if he doesn't turn it around soon I'd bench him come playoff time.

    Gattis takes second base, nice!

    BJ at second base. That is all.

    It doesn't appear that LASIK has made any difference whatsoever with the Owl.

    I dont think you know what you are asking for. Last time BJ played 2B he was Brooks Conrad in the playoffs kind of bad.

    It doesn't matter. Preferably for LaStella but yea, Johnson will do. He's not going to turn anything around. Period. He blows. We need to cut our loses and move on.

    I'm sorry but I do not believe that BJ can be worse than Uggla defensively. Sure, he probably won't be any good but I just can't stand seeing Uggla at bat anymore.

    You can campaign for that all you want, but it will be about as successful as asking your wife for the same thing.

    Probably EJ, I know he isn't much with the bat but he saves runs at second. He has 11 DRS in not even 400 innings at second base this year (including a few runs saved for us). Uggla is the opposite and one of the worst at second, -15 DRS or something this year. So if neither is hitting much I'll go with the great defense at second base (sorta like we did with Lemke in the past). If EJ somehow gets a hit he can steal second too.

    That said, I wanted La Stella and Pastornicky before that of course. But that's not happening so our options are very slim.
