Tonight I had tickets but had to pass because finals start on Monday here at VCU.<BR/><BR/>I WITH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE TONIGHT. I watched the game from the 5th inning on and I wish I could have seen ZIM's play to through out REYES LIVE. I was screaming at the TV as he got the out. UNBELIEVABLE PLAY. I know he is not hitting the bat real well right now but those plays alone are with the price of admission. I know we lost but I agree with most fans here that post. <BR/><BR/>WE HAVE NO BENCH. And I think we should have traded the Chief when we had the chance with Boston. He has already blown 3 or 4 saves this year and that us UNEXCEPTABLE esp since he wont get many save opportunities with this team this season. <BR/><BR/>Give the current starting five credit they are getting the job done and that puts a smile on my face. Just get them a bench and a bullpen! <BR/><BR/>ps: does MASN post hightlight clips on youtube?? i have a few friends who missed the game but would love to see Zims play against Reyes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-80122975697052672812007-04-29T20:58:00.000-04:002007-04-29T20:58:00.000-04:00This game is designed to break your heart, and I c...This game is designed to break your heart, and I can't tell the Lerners how many times my heart has been broken by the Nats. So I have two words for them---"Thank you!"<BR/><BR/>This does not mean that I <B>like</B> losing, or that Nat fans should tolerate losing. But even a heartbreaking, last-place club like the Nats is preferable to NO TEAM AT ALL. I hope the naysayers keep that in mind. <BR/><BR/>I can't afford to go to every game like SBF, but I did manage to go to four or five games in April and I am officially a season ticker holder now. I look forward to returning to RFK in May to see the Nats when they return from this road trip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-21309068973624564142007-04-29T18:55:00.000-04:002007-04-29T18:55:00.000-04:00Also, you have to keep in mind that not everyone c...Also, you have to keep in mind that not everyone can afford -- financially or from the perspective of having kids, Saturday is a big day for kids' activities -- to go to every game. That's why the game experience should be good enough to draw some fans to several games, instead of the same core of fans to pretty much every game. More power to people like the 320-ers, who seem to be able to go to most every game, though, and I hope their loyalty is rewarded when they're still young enough to enjoy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-48810315979826028992007-04-29T17:56:00.000-04:002007-04-29T17:56:00.000-04:00A lot of fans feel the same way about what Stan an...A lot of fans feel the same way about what Stan and the Lerners are NOT doing. <BR/><BR/>Just a reasonable bat of the bench would have won several of these games. But I keep forgetting what several major writers, including Boz have said on the record. They want that first Draft Pick and they plan to earn it.JayBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448827055342357809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-57919115085754468242007-04-29T17:37:00.000-04:002007-04-29T17:37:00.000-04:00I know it's frustrating when there are a lot of th...I know it's frustrating when there are a lot of the other teams' fans there. Keep in mind that there was a Wizards play-off game that didn't end until after 8:00PM (that's where I was). I"ve been supporting the Wiz for many years (though the Nats get more of my money). Kasten and the Lerners haven't shown much loyalty to me (by maintaining such a low payroll, and talking a lot but doing little to actually improve the stadium experience), so the Wiz game was an easy choice, even at $150 and their best players in ties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-83816168386421357012007-04-29T09:25:00.000-04:002007-04-29T09:25:00.000-04:00SBF - thanks for the great recaps.

Living in Europe with a marginal internet connection, my experience is pretty one-dimensional, as I frantically update GameCenter/GameCast websites to follow Nats games. Last night I had no idea what kind of games it was, save that some of the relievers seemed to be offering the game to NYM on a silver platter. Reading your recaps (pictures included) really helps inject some of that emotion and atmosphere I've been missing. Please keep it up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-15142046017007397932007-04-29T09:24:00.000-04:002007-04-29T09:24:00.000-04:00It was a SAD night in the end but remember it is b...It was a SAD night in the end but remember it is baseball and it is a game.

Fick, Jimenez really hurt last night. We have nothing off the bench. Fick who has hurt the team where ever he plays or (does not) hit is now hurting us as a defensive replacement at 1st even. <BR/><BR/>Fick, Wilson and Jimenez could be replaced now with people who would will help now. They are not going to bring any offers and Nats need some bats now Jim. We sold Jamey Carroll for $300,000 cash. Time for the Lerners to modify the plan and get some help by using some of the saved cash NOW.JayBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448827055342357809noreply@blogger.com
