I was thinking they should have announced Pete Kosma as the Honary captain for the game just to **** with the Nationals.
On a serious note, Surely the offense can’t have 3 horrible games in a row, right? Two great outings by our starting pitching wasted. Waste another Flaherty start too? Took Carp out of the lineup but Fowler still leading off. Doubt it makes a difference. [Reply]

After this past sports "weekend of misery" just give me at least one win to get my heart back online. Work sucked today. [Reply]
Fowler with 2 swinging strikeouts on 7 total Pitches. Batting average for the post season is now .060. But, Schildt like the AB’s he took in the NLDS. [Reply]

I know its not going to happen because its Molina and game 3 of the NLCS when you trail by 2 games, but I would have benched Molina after that effort. Misses a ball that wasn't even that far away and didn't even bounce and then practically walks to go pick it up. Wtf? [Reply]
