I want to say something positive about Manny, but I'm at the point where I'm apathetic, at best. Maybe this is the start he can reel me back in.

[crewcrazy]

So Adam Dunn isn't in the Nationals' starting lineup. Interesting.

[BrewCrewForever]

Manny Parra, please don't suck. Thanks.

[yfinn6]

So Adam Dunn isn't in the Nationals' starting lineup. Interesting.

Maybe it's because there's a tough lefty on the mound? It is interesting, but I'm not making much of it at this point. I really do love the trade deadline.

[ilovebeer]

Jsonline, says Hart is day to day, no damage to his hand.

[Invader3K]

Does seem weird that Dunn isn't playing. Just a routine day off, maybe?

 

Also, glad to hear that Hart isn't seriously hurt. We really don't need him going down, regardless of whether or not he is getting dealt.

[crewcrazy]

Seems like it's just a day off for Dunn, at least according to the Nats writers I follow on Twitter. I think it'd be funny if they saw Corey Hart get hurt last night and decided they should maybe give Big Donkey a couple days off this week.

[GormanHarvey]

Anyone know what directv channel the game is on? I can't find it...

[BrewCrewForever]

I hate WMLW games, man this picture is like watching a local cable access channel.

[BrewCrewForever]

Now that is the Ryan Braun we know and love.

[razzzorsharp]

Good catch on the Braun HR.

 

(Ducks and waits..)

[jjkoestler]

Nice rip Joe. There's the 3 bagger in the 3rd.

[hawing]

Ah, Rickie, if you could have just gotten on last inning, Inglett's triple would have been a lot more exciting.

[crewcrazy]

Excellent first three innings from Manny Parra. Jordan Schelling noted an interesting difference in Parra's performance with Lucroy catching, as opposed to Kottaras:

 

With Kottaras: 1-2, 10.89 ERA, 19 ER, 16 IP, 28 H, 5 HR

With Lucroy: 1-2, 4.18 ERA, 13 ER, 29 IP, 29 H, 4 HR

 

Small sample size, but he definitely looks more comfortable tonight.

[BrewCrewForever]

Uggghhh, leadoff triple stranded.

[yfinn6]

I'm beginning to dislike leadoff triples.

[hawing]

Here is an IGT invitation to join the chat room if you'd like. Despite the "0" that just displayed for me, the room is occupied.

[BrewCrewForever]

Jim Edmonds says screw leadoff triples, I will touch them all.

[jjkoestler]

Go Diego.

[jjkoestler]

I think that diving catch Diego just made is a routine play for GoGo.

[jjkoestler]

That's a run, right?

[BrewCrewForever]

Oh man, that was scary.

[nate82]

Someone needs to take the baseball magnet out of Weeks body.

[BrewCrewForever]

Rickie Weeks is a man if I ever saw one.
