Weak! Also, weather.com broke the hell out of my computer the other day. I guess they're 133t haxxxx0rz or something.

Brian said...

How long does Ohka go today?

Ryan said...

6. His last start was perfect Ohka, and I predict he'll do the exact same thing for the rest of the year.

Brian said...

I agree he should go 6, but my guess is Frank lets him go 6 2/3 and then realizes he is out of gas

Ryan said...

Good point. I predict we will not see a double switch from the Nats in this game.

Brian said...

^^^^
From the prognosticators that brought you water is wet.

Ryan said...

Also, Frank Robinson will not do a cartwheel on the field. You can take that to the bank.

Brian said...

I would pay good money to see the cartwheel (but even better for the double switch)

Ryan said...

What's wrong with Castilla? Besides the obvious, I mean.

Brian said...

sore shoulder

Brian said...

Nats taking more pitches so far today ... nice to see

Ryan said...

Wilk K'd. I heart Nick Johnson.

Brian said...

Sorry about Pennywise, I can change it.

Wilkerson struck out swinging

Ryan said...

I'm relieved - Church has been sucking like a Hoover lately.

Ryan said...

Fox News First Run of the Game!

Brian said...

23 pitch 1st inning ... that's more like it

Brian said...

Bobby Cox had an early tee time

Ryan said...

I thinking about making a Castilla/sore shoulder/masturbation joke. Maybe in a little bit.

Ryan said...

GodDAMN I hate Chipper.

Brian said...

Ohka with his first of two long balls today

Brian said...

gotta love 4 pitch walks ... aarrgghh

Brian said...

What is this "work" of which you speak?

Ryan said...

Thanks a lot, Yuda! Every time one of works, something bad happens. Stay focused.

Ryan said...

Schneider - Doubles Machine!

Ryan said...

BTW, I think this is the only scenario (man on 2nd, no outs, pitcher up) where BP approves of sac bunting.

Brian said...

Dammit Ohka ... it's hari kari time

Ryan said...

Nien Nunb: "Mmabdmnfalkb!"

Ryan said...

I think I just learned something. Thanks, celine!

Ryan said...

That's probably what BP will point to the next time they get accused of groupthink, Yuda.

Ryan said...

Sheehan left and came back?

I wanna say Click wrote the deadly-dull bunt study, and I know it was last summer.

Ryan said...

Oh, and Church is a latter-day saint.

Brian said...

damn 4 pitch walks

Ryan said...

What is it about Ohka and two outs? He magically transforms into Antonio Osuna.

Ryan said...

Is it possible to have a man-crush on a whole team? I love the Marlins.

Chris Needham said...

61 comments and I haven't even added anything yet? Jesus!

Brian said...

no first pitch swinging Nick ... please

Ryan said...

Ooh, coffee. Good idea. BRB ^_^!

Brian said...

are you comparing yourself to Jesus, Chris?

Ryan said...

Wow, that was an old-school Nats inning.

Ryan said...

You look pretty lively, Yuda. Yee haw!

Chris Needham said...

My father always told me I was the Son of God... but I'm not really into sandles.

I can't get the game on my radio. Just some mexican music. (Which, if I can say this without being deemed insensitive, frequently sounds like circus music)

Chris Needham said...

I'd settle for more than one fielder on base!

What's the score?

Chris Needham said...

I think they just moved in, actually!

Ryan said...

Anyone see the fans doing the funkdafied tomahawk chop after the rain delay last night?

Chris Needham said...

What's the score damnit?

Ryan said...

Basil - you get one of them William F. Buckley word calenders?

Brian said...

I absolutely abhor the tomahawk chop

Ryan said...

I spelled "calendar" wrong on purpose.

Chris Needham said...

I guess something bad happened.

EFF YOU WFED AM!

Brian said...

I would love to see Schneider slap Ohka in the face and say "Act like a man"

Ryan said...

We just have to limit the damage until Kolb comes in again.

Ryan said...

3-2 Braves after 3.

Chris Needham said...

'S about time! Thanks, Ryan.

Ryan said...

That's a funny-looking double, Schneider.

Chris Needham said...

Now I'm getting the bible-thumping station. This blows ass.

I can be in my little shack in the woods and get WBAL clear as a bell, yet I can't get WFED in a crappy ass building half a block from the Capitol?

Ryan said...

Shack in the woods, huh? Do you churn your own butter and refuse to recognize the authority of the federal government?

Brian said...

Let's stuff the All-Star ballot box to ensure the rest of MLB can enjoy the batting superstar that is CRISTIAN GUZMAN

Chris Needham said...

Now my coworkers are hanging outside my office, talking, blathering and rambling. Shut up so I can listen to my static!

Serenity now.

Brian said...

Chris ... $14.95 with MLB.com ... that is all you need for the year

Chris Needham said...

If you've ever been up to upstate ny, you'd know! I grew up with my nearest neighbors being corn fields.

Maybe that explains some of my problems...

Chris Needham said...

That's not a kid, that's a pretty accurate assessment of our fine neighborly city to the north.

Chris Needham said...

I've got the MLB TV subscription. The problem is the ahole IT guy here who put up a firewall. I can't access MLB from work. Prick.

Ryan said...

How's Guzman been on D? I know he's not a supastar like Jose Vidro, but I haven't seen any huge screw-ups.

Chris Needham said...

The Walkman is home unfortunately. I'm using a 1985-era boom box now.

It only picks up Run DMC.

Chris Needham said...

We're nearing the thread-klling limit, i suspect?

Ryan said...

What are you complaining about, Chris?

I'm the king of rock
Ain't none higher
Sucka MCs
Should call me sire

Chris Needham said...

I don't know if I'm worried that you didn't need to google that.

Ryan said...

I won't stop blogging til I retire!

Hip-hop's finest truism.

Ryan said...

It's Christmastime in Hollis, Queens . . .

Chris Needham said...

Damn you kids and your modern music. Give me Frankie Valle any day.

Brian said...

A hit with a RISP? Call Ripley

Chris Needham said...

Ask you and you shall receive!

This team has been hitting a TON of triples!

Ryan said...

Walk for NJ!

Chris Needham said...

I love NJ!
