Yours? It's going to be a loooong season.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.
He did get a K.50 pitches in 1 inning is pretty staunch.
They're not exactly loaded with options, though. Who would you put there?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.
Yup.121 is not out of the question.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?
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.They're not exactly loaded with options, though.

Well, there's one for you. Check back in another week for number 2.I'm starting to think that relying on their closer for saves might have been a mistake.
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?Poor Ryan Zimmerman.
Ye olde sophomore slump. No real explanation. I think he'll come back around. They could really use some stability in that lineup.Man, this guy has really started slow.

Is this permanent?Rauch is the new closer.
Not until Cordero gets traded...Is this permanent?Rauch is the new closer.
Acta said after Thursday that he would go back to Cordero. The 8th inning stint for Chad was a one time thing apparently.Two saves in a row is pretty tellingBut my crystal ball is a bit fuzzy so I can't say for sure
Is this specific to the closer position or just a general comment?JZilla said:Acta doesn't really know what he's doing.
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.Is this specific to the closer position or just a general comment?JZilla said:Acta doesn't really know what he's doing.
Speigner looked pretty solid yesterday... a good number of those HRs fell just short..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.
SMB,G4-5-1 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.SMB,G4-5-1 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?
12 of 17 now.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.
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.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.
seriously, what the ####?121 ain't going to lose themselves.
