When did you start showering?

When society told me that I had to in order to get a job. Gay.

Actually, I hate feeling dirty. Of course, there's nothing I can do about the constant shedding of body hair, but at least I feel clean. Sometimes. Not really.

OK, sorry to hijack your thread, Box.

NATS!

1*-5*

And when I feel like being an attention whore, and I realllllllllllly like a play they may go higher than 5*, such as 6*, 7*. I usually reserve anything higher for playoffs or championship games.

It's early in the year, and I'm trying to feel my way into it. So, my plays right now are rated a little lower than normal.

My A's Play yesterday was 3* on the ML and 1* on the -1.5 RL. That's about as big a play you will see from me early in the year.

Do you know how hard Bergmann throws by any chance? I saw him last year in the 92-93 range.

He's sitting 88-91 today, with terrible command.

I saw him his the low 90's last year, but he looks like some crap today, that's for sure. 50 pitches in the first inning? Christ.

Gonna be a loooooooooooong season. I'm hoping that at least Jerome Williams surprises some people and finally gets his shit together this year. Probably not, though.

Nats win the AL East by 5 games this year.

Reminds me of those hilarious NFL Network commercials:

Adding:

"You kidding me? Ken Griffey Jr. can definitely challenge Ripken's Ironman record."

"Look at Rafael Palmero for crying out loud. It's amazing what a little hard work in the weightroom can do for you. What a role model."

"Ha. The Detroit Tigers? Please. They won't win 50 games."

"The MLB Network"....get your story straight.

Yeah, because he doesnt have the velocity today so he's not giving in. He either lost velocity in the offseason, or he is not having his best day. You can't survive in the big leagues being a righthander throwing 88-91, unless you have spot on command and some good off speed shit, and Bergmann doesnt have that.

He's nibbling too much, because the D-Backls are just fouling pitches off until they get something that they want. They are playing with him.

Bergmann wont last much longer, which is good news for the over.

Nationals are still very much in this game, though. Remember, Edgar Gonzalez has been a reliever, and doesnt have much starting experience, and the D-Back bullpen is running thin as it is. They're gonna need a big effort from someone out of the pen in order to hold on. And it's only a matter of time until Gonzalez gives up a 3 spot and puts the Nats right back in this game.

Hmmm...let me see if I can think of a few more:

"A-Rod was born to play in New York. Step aside, Reggie, there's a new Mr. October coming."

"Barry Bonds? That guy is all class."

"Ichiro's gonna be a bust. Japanese players can't make it over here."

"Red Sox fans are the best."

LOLOLOLOL get that last one? You know, because Red Sox fans suck dick! LOLOLOL

Fuck Boston.

Could've easily been 4-3, had Lopez not been a fucking moron and picked up Belliard on 3rd.

Idiot.

Kyle Casto is killing me. Strands everyone. Striking out, too. Put the freakin ball in play one time.

Why the HELL do you bat a rookie in the 2 hole unless he is a superstar prospect, and even then questionable after the guy starts off the first 3 games batting under .200. Safe to say the rook isnt seeing it well right now, and is having a hard time adjusting. Doesnt need to be benched, but the 2 hole needs to be a contact/action guy that can make something happen. What a hole in the lineup.

He had a great spring. That's the only reason I can think of that he'd stay in the 2 slot.

Don't blame him, though; blame Lopez. That retard swung at a bad 1st pitch with a runner on 3rd and 1 out, didn't get him home. Fuck.

No, I'm gonna blame Casto again. 2 out double, swings at first pitch and grounds out and strands yet another.

As long as this guy remains in the 2-hole, I can't play the Nats or overs anymore.

lots of sweat today. all games today, losses, and the lone win, could have went either way.

note to self: bomb Casto's house. the only player in the lineup that didnt get a hit today, 0-5, and coincidentally, the one spot in the lineup that needed to produce bc it continually came up with runners in scoring position. a 1-5 performance from Casto and we might be in extras right now and even the over would be a guaranteed push or better. focker. Nads outhit the D-Backs 11-6.

either way, not betting on the Nats until he's out of that spot in the lineup. not that i plan on betting on them that much in the future anyway.

6-4, +3.26
