Hope to get there early and chat baseball with everyone and get some autographs from the old Senators in my old Senators yearbooks!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-196033227382505052007-09-19T14:28:00.000-04:002007-09-19T14:28:00.000-04:00Chad Cordero is beginning to remind me of Jorge Ju...Chad Cordero is beginning to remind me of Jorge Julio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-3912180249140440302007-09-19T11:49:00.000-04:002007-09-19T11:49:00.000-04:00SBF, I found your blog during last off-season and ...SBF, I found your blog during last off-season and I must say I've enjoyed every post. I am a student at Virginia Tech and have managed to feel like I've been to every game thanks to your posts. It hurts to not get a MASN signal down in Blacksburg and it hurts even more knowing I can't come home to see baseball in RFK ever again. But your writing definitely helps ease the pain. Keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-74122445827828008942007-09-19T11:19:00.000-04:002007-09-19T11:19:00.000-04:00I have a note to myself just before season started...I have a note to myself just before season started in the left hand top drawer of my office desk: "73-89" Must mean I thought the team could win 73 games this year. On my table across from my desk, a copy of May 9-15 USA Sports Weekly: disconsolate-appearing Zimmerman pictured with glove atop his head: "How Low Can They Go" featuring a comparison of the team with historically bad teams...<BR/><BR/>It would be sweet indeed if the Nats can follow their leader to 73 wins, thus losing less than 90, much less 100 for this transistion season.<BR/><BR/>Sweeter still if Maxwell could get some more playing time, and shine: and if Ditweller could get one start along the way and be competitive.<BR/><BR/>As to the bench for 2008: Young; Belliard; Logan are certainly keepers - while Fick, Jimenez, Batista, Langerans have to be replaced by superior players. Guzman and Johnson should be back and in full stride, I would hope, so that is two slots filled. And add Torii Hunter and another stud, and you have a decent group of everyday players, positioned to achieve .500 plateau.<BR/><BR/>Trust in Kasten. All Good.<BR/>{And, Trust that the RoughRider rides first on September 23!}SenatorNathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049860385485455410noreply@blogger.com
