Shoul...This was a very important 10-game homestand. Should the Nats hover at playing near .500 ball for the rest of the season, they can point to this series as the turning point. It revealed that Manny Acta, wearing his number 14, may indeed be the second-coming of Gil Hodges, beloved manager of the Senators in mid-'60's who then managed the Amazing Mets in 1969. He is superbly under control, and his decisions of pitchers seem fluid, fair, and well-reasoned. As well, he is learning to be a tad flexible with the starting line-up, employing Belliard and Young smartly. The one bummer is Fick, whom he is stuck with until Nick Johnson returns: the guy cannot hit anymore in the Majors, and is hit or miss in the field as a defensive replacement, too. You can just feel his confidence growing, and there unquestionably is confidence in him as the sole leader of this team, all 25 guys and the coaches. <BR/><BR/>And, unfortunately for Mitchell Paige, his personal problems have led to a breath of fresh air, flexible hitting, and enthusiasm by Lenny Harris. All signs say keep him in place as batting instructor for balance of 2007.<BR/><BR/>As to Tolman as third-base coach: he seems to inherited some jinx at RFK for Nats 3rd bas coaches, until the 8th inning yesterday of holding too many runners. He had missed one earlier that day, and several over the course of the home-stand. Let Fick replace him, as a nice gesture when Johnson returns, since Fick is washed-up, but smart and a good guy. Players would love having a "teammate" in the catbird seat, there.<BR/><BR/>Kearns is home in Ky north Cincinatti for this week, so he will play - BUT, he needs a game off in St. Louis, like FLOP got - bone tired...<BR/><BR/>Should the starters currently on DL return together, should the team keep Simontacchi and move Williams to Columbus? Probably a good idea - next two starts for Jason shall determine Williams' fate...<BR/><BR/>When Ayala returns, does that mean Winston A. automatically is re-assigned? Probably. And this fan will cheer the day the Locker Room Beer Truck, Ray King, nice a fellow as he is, hits the road. Is he actually tradable to the Yanks for Jeter's old bats, or something?<BR/><BR/>Is Mike O'Connor going to be in the mix, or is Mike Bascik about ready to have The Natural sign hung around his neck. Nice, INEXPENSIVE problems for a last place team to anticipate: an embarassment of riches for the entire pitching staff...<BR/><BR/>Langehans - worth playing, and he actually contributed a RBI Sunday - but he and Fick compete for worst hitters in MLB currently. (But not the Guz anymore - who hits it sharply nearly every at bat - LaserVision by Tiger, eh?)<BR/><BR/>Trust in Kasten.

Mrs. MickNats took a picture of them, but we still did know. That's very interesting.

(just prior to seeing the swarm, one landed on me and i freaked out.) the swarm was so large that it was actually distracting. people in the 400-level were flipping out and swatting away. then, lucky for us, the swarm moved over toward the first base line, just a bit, and stopped distracting us from the game. but it pretty much stayed swarming a few sections over. many people left their seats. no one walked through it. some people were running over and having their pictures taken with the swarm. it didn't make sense to us at the time because we could just see the bees flying around and thought that it wouldn't really make a great picture. however, on our way out, we discovered what the fuss was all about. most of the bees were gathered on the floor and wall of the 500-level. seriously, they were all touching each other and took up the space the size of a base. it was so gross, yet facinating. i'm guessing that people were getting their picture taken in front of it. anyway, it seems as though RFK may have a bee issue...perhaps mr. kasten will get that taken care before the next homestand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
