Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

And here come the Nationals sucking the biggest dick as usual. PATHETIC. I'm so fucking sick of this team. I honestly feel bad for Strasburg, we should just release him to a team that actually attempts to play professional baseball.

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

Anybody watching the game tonight? What a horrible error that was by Desmond on the double play ball in the 7th. Now we're already down 3-0. Oh wow. As I type this the Nats just committed another error and the Braves are up 4-0. And this is the most horrible error filled inning I've seen in a while. And just to avoid the question no I haven't witnessed the Nats getting swept by Bawl'more and the big leads they blew in all 3 games.

I'd be kinda upset if I was Strasburg to be honest. It was a 0-0 game going into the 7th and now it's 4-0 Braves and they've only gotten 1 out. And pretty much everybody appears to be confused as hell right now, the Braves aren't even doing anything fancy but the Nats are committing atrocious errors.

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

Sigh. Milky Cabrera is the 9th batter for the Braves this inning. Absolutely horrible and the Braves are now up 5-0.

Damn man, calm down. The Nats have for the most part exceeded expectations for much of the year and they're only now starting to get some of their young guys in there such as Strasburg, Storen, Stammen. Desmond's still learning. JZ will be back soon. Harper will be there next year. Gotta have some patience with this team. They're headed in the right direction

Yeah that's the thing we have to keep remind ourselves right now. Our guys are young and we will get better through this. When all our young guys reach their potential we will see better times. I think fans just got caught up in having a decent start and figured we'd only get better once Strasburg arrived. This team probably won't do anything this season but we are definitely setting ourselves up for the future.

I'm calm now haha. I'm just getting pissed with Desmond. He's definitely one of my favorite players, but he continues to have an error a game or worse. He's batting terribly and it doesn't look like it's going to get better anytime soon.

I understand the team isn't great, I know that, but tonight they looked like a high school team if not worse, it was really pathetic. I hate when they do stuff like this with Strasburg, not that it's fair to anyone of the pitchers, but you have all the idiots come out, oh bla bla Strasburg isn't that good, such as the idiot Braves fans chanting overrated.

Cause we all know they were there to see the Braves tonight. I think they sold something like 21,000 more tickets, geee I wonder why.

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

I was actually there tonight. Awesome to see him pitch live, though at the same time a little easier to get tickets for away games(it was still packed though). Seeing him strike out 5 batters in a row was nothing short of amazing. However I must have been the only person rooting for him in there. Very few people wearing National's gear. Shame though that the 7th inning got away from him, but the guys still young and he doesn't have the team around him to support his amazing ability.

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

I was laughing at the overrated chants, pretty pathetic on their part. Must suck knowning a 'overrated' pitcher is the reason there was 21,000 more fans there.

Well let's not forget the Braves are a good team this year. HOWEVER it was almost packed and according to ESPN the average attendence for a weekday game is around 50 or 60% capacity. Today it was 86% according to ESPN so it's obvious that Strasburg continues to be a road show but either way that doesn't change the fact that the Braves are a good team with a strong fan base. Also for the record I am an O's fan (got to see Cal Ripken go 6-6 against Atlanta during his farewell tour).

well, when your the no 1 overall pick, you kinda gotta expect to go to the crappiest team in baseball. give him 4 more years and he'll join the yankees. then our buddy tryful will claim an uncle lives in NYC and therefore he can become a yankees fan. (j/k man)

with that error to desmond (which i thought was a play he should make atleast to get the guy out at 2nd) it wasnt your perfect double play ball. he had to pick it up with the runner running right in front of the ball, like the announcer said he couldnt charge the ball and grab it on the bounce he wanted but had to let the baserunner run his line and wait for the ball in which he doesnt get to choose when "on the hop" to grab it but has to try and grab the ball at whatever point it is on the hop.

Oh I know they are a good team, for right now at least, let's not forget they were sucking like us in the beginning of the season, hence the reason I was laughing at their fans.

They weren't 50-60% full when they were doing terrible, they just started showing up now that they are doing good, much like the Nationals 'fans' have been doing. As said though, most of those people were there for Strasburg, whether or not they were Braves fans.

Stephen Strasburg's Historic Debut Added to Nationals Classics

By MASN Staff, July 13, 2010 12:19 PM

MASN, the television home of the Washington Nationals, will add Stephen Strasburg's historic debut as a Nationals Classic starting this week. The network will re-air the game on Wednesday, July 14th and Sunday, July 18th, both at 7:00 p.m. on MASN and MASN HD.

This special production includes a new introduction from Johnny Holliday and Ray Knight.

In front of a national audience and a sold-out crowd at Nationals Park, Strasburg dominated the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 8th and set a new Nationals record for most strikeouts (14) in one game. To date, Stephen Strasburg is 3-2 with a 2.32 ERA and 61 strikeouts.

With every available Nationals game live and in high definition, an All Star talent team and Nats Xtra before and after every game, MASN provides maximum access to the Washington Nationals. MASN is currently carried on 23 cable and satellite providers throughout a seven-state region.

Haha I didn't go, I live in VA not FL. I haven't been to a game since Fathers Day, need to get back out there, dying to see the team again. Love going to games.

Kid is just insane man, really is. I just wish our batting could back him up all the time, besides one game, he could be almost undefeated.

Strasburg scratched from his start last night, getting MRI.

Can't be good. They said he has problems getting loose, but if they're sending him for an MRI, it has to be something beyond stiffness...unless the front office is just being paranoid about their investment.

Apparently he did have minor inflammation so they have him on anti-inflammatory medication. I think it really is just a matter of them protecting their investment.

Sucks for my fantasy team though.

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

Good to hear. MRIs are expensive so I don't think they'd just do one so casually...but it IS Strasburg.

Mine too, I lost that start.

[quote=tryfuhl;713881]lol not OTM this time huh[/quote]

that guy gives the rest of us a bad rep.

he went way to extreme, delayed the game way to long, got way to close to Os players, made those off duty cops (who are good guys) run around and looking stupid.

have some class, have some composure. act like youve been there before.

i know after i did it the Os announced a $1000 strictly enforced fine. im sure this guy wont get off with 10 hrs community service then having it completely dropped like i did. of course he didnt do it on a friday night so im sure the hilton was alot less packed. that was by far the worst booking i ever exerienced. i imagine if my stay in a border jail was longer than the 2-3 hours or so it would have topped balt city, that border jail litterally had a bucket for me to piss and shat in. in balt city it is a metal toilet (standard issue same as in san diego, pittsburgh, maryland) with some drugged out guy passed out spooining the dang thing.

honestly id do it again. probably try a new stadium thoo. but this guy is going to get punished to the gills i do believe.
