someone help me with a math problem?

i thought 6-4 was only two runs down, but reading this board, it seems “insurmountable”…

by fajita on Aug 22, 2008 4:03 PM CDT   0 recs

I think...

It’s just the shock of those 6 runs coming from the Nats

by hmlee on Aug 22, 2008 4:03 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Cause they're swinging at every pitch.

Saw a whole 9 pitches last inning.

got back from work, turned on the game

and the 2nd batter I see is Harris. I immediately changed the channel, but if that doesn’t work I’m leaving my apt. again

Because he didn't make a wrong call that would have favored the Cubs?

No

he made the right call, and he’s one of the few good guys.

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

Like hell

I know we can’t expect sweeps every time, I understand that. But we’re at home. In the last month we’ve lost 3 games that we weren’t even in offensively to teams that had no business beating us. I know that’s not much. But I don’t mind being held down by a decent team, we’ve lost to the Pirates, ’Stros and Reds, and now losing to the Nats.
This is a good team, and should not be giving up 6 run innings. We should not be losing games. Pirates, Astros, Reds, Nats in the last month. Swept none of them (Nats obviously excluded so far)

"i know we can't expect sweeps every time" . . .

but i expect a sweep every time.

is that pretty much what you’re saying?

this team - the Nats

just got off a 12 game losing streak.

I’m sure losing 12 in a row was not accident.

We can win this.

I think the only people who are idiots

are the ones that make assumptions then get mad over their own assumptions.
