TheBlogfines Angel beats Cristian in the all exciting and religious sounding Guzman matchup.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
announcers thought Marshall is insurance for a wild Marmol

Guzman looked really good...then again
it is the Nationals
he hit a bullet last time up. and that was not a bad at bat right there.

yeah his at-bats this year havent been bad
but its time for some singles, doubles, homeruns……….any will do
it'll come
soon.

I thought that was at bad at bat
swung and hit a weak foul ball to his off field on 3-0. Swung right through a fastball up and over the plate and flied out routinely.
I like Milton’s swing much better from the right side.
3/4
with a single, double and HR.

ARam
letting his L shoulder hang down rather limply again…..not good, unfortunately, still nowhere CLOSE to 100% IMO.
im surprised that is not getting more play
it seems half his at bats result in him grimacing and carrying his shoulder very gingerly.
ya whenever a player openly admits to the meida that he is only 80-85%.
in reality he is probably only 60-75%

From yahoo
- J. Tavarez relieved J. Bergmann
- A. Soriano walked
- S. Fuld hit for C. Marmol
- S. Fuld singled to shallow right, A. Soriano to third
- K. Hill singled to shallow right, A. Soriano scored, S. Fuld to third
- S. Burnett relieved J. Tavarez
- J. Fox hit for A. Blanco
- J. Fox safe at first on S. Burnett’s fielding error, S. Fuld scored, K. Hill to second
- K. Hill to third, J. Fox to second on wild pitch
- R. Johnson flied out to center
So....
Second and third, one out?
