Great move sending up Belliard with Durbin still in the game. If he had sent up Harris, Manuel would have countered with Romero.<BR/><BR/>It is too bad more Nats fan were not in attendance. The standing ovation for Milledge was great, but considering the team is playing so well, it would be nice to have a house fuller of home town rooters.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683734720896529408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-85263253462038706582008-09-04T11:31:00.000-04:002008-09-04T11:31:00.000-04:00SBF, you can tell Stan Kasten that I for one also ...SBF, you can tell Stan Kasten that I for one also noticed the presence of game information on the ribbon board above the Red Loft, and I also appreciate it. Now, if they could only quit removing all information related to the game from every scoreboard in the stadium between innings. In particular, it annoys me that the out-of-town scoreboard goes away then, just so they can display the same ad there that is already flashing on every other scoreboard and ribbon board in the ballpark. Out of town scores are merely a matter of casual interest now, but hopefully there will come a day when they mean more to us. The only proper time to study the out of town scores is when there's nothing going on in the game at hand, but that's the one time the team chooses to remove them from view. They don't do this at OPACY, why then do they at Nationals Park?<BR/><BR/>It would also be nice to have the running score of the game available on a board somewhere between innings, but this information is also taken away in favor of the single ad that is being displayed everywhere else already. Do they get paid more for each ad the more places it appears at any given time?An Briosca Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855174362787324401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-58063899179695546742008-09-04T08:33:00.000-04:002008-09-04T08:33:00.000-04:00I don't know how you do it Jeff, but thanks.

A sweep by our Nats this weekend could make it real interesting as will tonight's starting pitching.<BR/><BR/>The comebacks last night were impressive!<BR/><BR/>Kory Casto seems to shine at the plate on each game after a return from the Minors. I wish there was some way for Kory to bottle it up because he has the tools to be a good offensive producer.<BR/><BR/>Great to see Roger Bernandina come through with a clutch hit, steal a base, and show his speed and arm in the outfield. This guy is a class act who took his time in the Majors and went back to AAA and worked on some of his batting deficiencies. If for some reason Willie "Mays" Harris doesn't resign next year, "Bernie" may be the "X" factor for our Nats. Once he perfects his bunting, he will have opposing teams on their toes in the infield.<BR/><BR/>Atlanta here we come!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
