The Nats have been giving us a taste of our own medicine the last two games, winning back to back 2-1 games against our Pads with stellar starting and relief pitching. It's always funny in baseball to see the headlines for 2-1 games. The winning team's headlines will be 'our pitching is the bomb', and the losing team's headlines will always be 'our bats sucked this game'. So even though both headlines were true, our bats sucked more than their bats, and their pitching was better than our awesome (Clayton Richard takes the loss after a great outing giving up 2 ER) pitching, and Ryan Ludwick's missed dive cos the Friars a run and ended up being the deciding factor.
Either way, like in April, we are one well-timed double away from winning almost every game we lose.
Oh and Rizzo? Yes. Check. Down. Sold. I've been geekin out over Rizzo's swing. Choked down so far his right hand is barely on the knob. Long, extended cut. Pure power. He had a HR and a double today. Are lifetime contracts possible??
Now if only ___, ____, ____, _____, ____, and ____ (insert any names) were actually getting (timely) hits we could start winning ball games. Going for the series split tomorrow. C'Mon Pads!
