Nook Logan = addition by subtraction

Win #1!

Thanks Jorge

I boldly predict they'll take 1/3 from the Deebs.

From Thomas Boswell's column the other day:

Dmitri Young had two doubles and may hit at first base until Nick Johnson's broken leg is healed. But you haven't lived until you see Young scream, "YOURS," on a high popup on a sunny day.

Yours? It's going to be a loooong season.

Looks like there're about 3 dozen people at the game tonight. It's pretty freakin' cold though. Austin Kearns' ears are blue.

Jason Bergmann is putting em on already.


eta: Batters, not Austin Kearns' ears

Randy St. Claire should get himself a little cart or something. He's going to set a record for mound visits this season.

[JZilla]

50 pitches in 1 inning is pretty staunch.

[East Coast Bias]

50 pitches in 1 inning is pretty staunch.

He did get a K.

[JZilla]

Another clutch AB brought to you by Mr. Brian Schneider.

[JZilla]

Not really his fault, but Randy St. Claire is not long for his job.

Boy this team is the stink. The offense may pick up a bit once they get Casto out of the 2-spot, not sure what's up with that but the guy has shown he's not ready.

[Unlucky]

Need some official predictions on W/L record by the end of the season. For betting purposes, as I feel the lines haven't yet represented just how awful Washington is.

I think 27 to 33 wins at home. 25 to 30 wins on the road. 52 to 63 wins total.

This team is clearly the worst team we've seen in a couple of years, right?

They're not exactly loaded with options, though. Who would you put there?

Yup.

121 is not out of the question.

Anybody who can put a bat on a ball. I'd put Church there. That gives you a pretty solid 1-5. Casto is a weak link, easy out, may as well put the pitcher or Schneider there.

I'm starting to think that relying on their closer for saves might have been a mistake.

Well, there's one for you. Check back in another week for number 2.

[JZilla]

A WIN!!!

[dgreen]

4-2 in their last 6.

ON FIRE!!!!

[JZilla]

Shawn Hill's quietly putting together a pretty nice April. 4 starts, sub-3 ERA, a respectable K/BB. He won't break the bank on wins, due to offensive inferiority, but he looks fo'rills to me. Pick the boy up in keepers.

[JZilla]

Simontacchi called up, pitching tonight. Start your Brewers!

[DCThunder]

Tom Boswell in the WaPo had a column yesterday saying that this team has a very good chance to be amongst the worst of all time. Man, do they SUCK.

[JZilla]

Swept by the white hot Brew crew

This team almost looked decent a couple times but I think reality has set in now. 121 is a very distinct possibility.

[tommyGunZ]

Would love to see what Bowden was offered for Soriano. I know he'll get a couple of draft picks as compensation, but at this point I can't believe the decision to not trade Alfonso was a good one.

They should move Cordero soon before he loses all of his value. Give Rauch the closer gig.

Poor Ryan Zimmerman.

[JZilla]

SWEEP!

[JZilla]

Jerome Williams pulled with a shoulder injury. Sorry all you Jerome owners.

[RedRaiders]

Poor Ryan Zimmerman.

Man, this guy has really started slow. I know there's no one to protect him, but shouldn't he be walking more - instead of putting in nightly 0-4 efforts?

Ye olde sophomore slump. No real explanation. I think he'll come back around. They could really use some stability in that lineup.

[dgreen]

[JZilla]

3/4 from the Jane Fondalvrs


Rauch is the new closer.

[dgreen]

Rauch is the new closer.

Is this permanent?

[posty]

Rauch is the new closer.

Not until Cordero gets traded...

[JZilla]

Two saves in a row is pretty telling

But my crystal ball is a bit fuzzy so I can't say for sure

[dgreen]

Back to Chad.

Acta said after Thursday that he would go back to Cordero. The 8th inning stint for Chad was a one time thing apparently.

[JZilla]

Acta doesn't really know what he's doing.

[dgreen]

Acta doesn't really know what he's doing.

Is this specific to the closer position or just a general comment?

General comment, but in his defense, he really only has half a team's worth of major league material to work with.

Still, I haven't seen anything to make me think he'll be around more than a season or two. I've been down on him since the Casto in the 2-hole experiment that went on way too long.

[RedRaiders]

Here's their starting pitching depth chart right now.

1 John Patterson ® (D.L.)
2 Shawn Hill ® (D.L.)
3 Jason Bergmann ® (D.L.)
4 Matt Chico (L)
5 Mike O'Connor (L) (D.L.)
5 Jason Simontacchi ®
5 Jerome Williams ® (D.L.)


Leaving them now with most likely the worst rotation in MLB history.

Speigner looked pretty solid yesterday... a good number of those HRs fell just short..

[JZilla]

4-6-1 double play was interesting...

Bacsik with a solid game, until that last predictable mistake.. can the good guys hang on to take 3/4 from the shukies?

10 wins in 14 games by my count, that's a nice little flukish run. Now let's get back to business, 121 ain't going to lose themselves.

[dgreen]

GREAT defensive play by Kearns.

12 of 17 now.

Unfortunately I have a previous engagement, but I hope they get a good turnout and nice reception at home tomorrow... that was a real nice road trip and they're really starting to show that they've got a solid core of talent to build on. It's a good time for the city to get behind these guys.

Guzman's a new player, compared to two years ago. Young has filled in nicely for Nick Johnson. Nook is a nice threat at the bottom of the order. I hope he develops into a leadoff man; his speed is sick. And, hey, maybe Langerhans could hit cleanup. Seriously, though, I think one big FA bat next year would have the batting order in good shape.

School's still in session, so I doubt there will be much more than 25000 at a weeknight game despite their recent success, unless I'm underestimating the number of Dodger fans in the area. Fact is, they simply don't get a ton of coverage in the media and they don't do a whole lot to market themselves. I think they're just trying to get by this year until the new stadium next year.

[JZilla]

Sigh... back to reality

seriously, what the ####?
