Official ***WASHINGTON NATIONALS (44-77)*** Season Thread Vol. R.I.P.

[j rain 23]

TOP 5 FIRST HALF MOMENTS:

#5.

June 10th, Climatic win vs Pittsburgh, I WAS THERE! It was a recipe made for me: Belly went yard twice, Dukes scorched a clutch 2 out double in the 9th, thenLastings hit the game winning homer! imost memorable sporting event i have ever attended.


#4.

that about sums it up, Belly is a P.I.M.P.!


#3.

The beast went on a RAMPAGE vs the Rangers, he was UNSTOPPABLE! most incredible individual performance of the season, nobody will top it. 5/6, game tyinghomer, game winning walk-off single. My dude Dukes was a one man wrecking crew!


#2.

THE BEASTS BREAKOUT GAME! Dukes was demolishing the ball all night long and capped it off with a monstrous walk-off homer! It looked like we were going to getswept, everyone was dejected after blowing a 7-0 lead, then Dukes saved the day! The beast unleashed a no doubt shot to deep center, pounding his chest intriumph, it was surreal. Dukes' eagerly anticipated first homer as a National was UNFORGETTABLE!


#1.

ONE WORD: MAGICAL. not only is Zimmerman the best young player in baseball, he's the most clutch young player in baseball.

some devastating news to report...WILY MO WILL NEED SEASON ENDING SURGERY.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

anyways, it's a shame Dukes is on the dl because i wanted the beast to prove Dukes > Francoeur vs the Braves.

 

[j rain 23]

Redding vs Hudson to start the series. I can't lie, Hudson OWNS the Nationals life.

hopefully we can put up a valiant fight vs Hudson

LETS GO NATS!!!

SERIOUSLY, WHO THE +$#% CARES!?

Dukes was never good to begin with anyway and I don't see why you hype up dude too much.

 

[addictedtofreshkicks]

@ how the record in the title got reset... you know damn well if thenationals went 50-30, you would've left it.

 

[j rain 23]

LO DUCA AND ESTRADA BOTH STARTING AGAIN

o well, at least two stud rookies are pitching: Lannan vs Jurrjens

 

[kiddin like jason]

Why in God's name do the Nationals have four catchers?

 

[j rain 23]

Harris and Langerhans KILLED their former team tonight, combined 5/8!

WILLIE HARRIS IS APPRECIATED. he's a VACUUM in center and is swinging a

bat! definition of a spark plug.

LANNAN > JURRJENS. Lannan pitched like a savvy veteran, he struggled but still managed to only give up 1 run.

a rare easy win!

gonna/gotta take the series tomorrow!

Why in God's name do the Nationals have four catchers?
Estrada and Lo Duca are only playing to boost their woefully low trade stock, Nieves is a defensive catcher, and Flores is the best up and comingcatcher in baseball.

 

[j rain 23]

Harris, a part-time starter for Atlanta last season, had three hits, two RBIs, a stolen base and scored three runs. He made a diving catch of a line drive by Gregor Blanco in center field to end the game and has five hits in the first two games of the series.
APPRECIATED.

that was a nice grab

nice win too! take the series manana.

 

[j rain 23]

just unexpectedly saw that Dmitri is going on the d.l. in an attempt to stabilize his diabetes. he's been sidelined with high blood sugar lately. he'sgotta take care of that.

GOOD NEWS: Zimmerman is healthy and will wrap up his rehab assignment and should be back for the west coast road trip.

Lastings also will start a rehab stint.

we need Zimmerman and Millie back for our playoff push

it'll justbe exciting to have them back on the field.

 

[rsdplaya]

yea it will. zimm especially, it's been too long!

 

[N41D]

Flores is the best up and coming catcher in baseball.
Would you just give it up already?

There's plenty of young catchers throughout baseball with brighter futures ahead of them than JesusFlores...

Jesus Flores > Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

 

[doublejs07]

JRain, you'll be interested in this....especially the part where they mention Zim's "declining" production (although they do suggestthat he is named captain)...

10Makeover Solutions for the Nats

 

[j rain 23]

it's official, Zimmerman will return for the San Francisco Series Tuesday!

The Nationals will recall third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who has been out since May 26 with a left shoulder injury, from a minor league rehab assignment. Zimmerman will join the team in San Francisco on Tuesday
the wait has been painful. The best young player in baseball will be back at third with his unmatched defense and batting third like it should be.

btw DoubleJ's, none of those articles you post are news to me. I read them all on the Nationals message board that i am an active member of. i will saythough, just the thought of Bonds in a Nationals uniform is APPALLING and i know the front office would never even ludicrously consider it.

 

[j rain 23]

I'm counting on Perez to have a solid start so we can win the series and improve our record to 7-4 vs the Braves!

LETS GO NATS!!!

As "appalling" as the idea of Bonds playing for the Nats is, he would create interest in a stagnant/generally non-interested DC baseball market. 9000viewers is a joke.

 

[mfr3shm]

Jo Jo Reyes up to his old habits of throwing balls and not strikes

 

[N41D]

Jesus Flores > Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

OK...

Even if we're not counting Saltalamacchia, who I'd still take over Flores with zero hesitation... Russell Martin, Brian McCann, Matt Wieters, JoeMauer, Geovanny Soto... There's 5 off the top, then there's several guys in the minors on the verge of breaking through whose minor league trackrecords are better than Flores'...

 

[rsdplaya]

took it!!! nice win!!!!

 

[j rain 23]

WHAT A WHOOPING! 15 RUNS ON 17 HITS!

SERIES TOTAL: 29 RUNS ON 42 HITS!

WE SMASHED THE BALL VS THE BRAVES, with the main consistent contributor being WILLIE HARRIS! Harris SMOKED the ball all series.

CERTIFIED GANGSTA.

7-4 vs the Braves this season

btw, the best up and coming catcher in baseball went 5/6.
