    Yea, but we should be able to get to their pitcher, too. Could be one of those 10-9 kind of games.

    Bourn causing havoc again....its going to be a wild one indeed, I prefer pitchers duals but a nice slugfest is good for the soul once in a while.

    Good Job Puma...ok first inning we cut into the lead plus I doubt 2-1 will be the final score.

    :D

    Yea, I've got a feeling there will be more runs scored in this one.

    I still can't believe the gift Dunn gave us. That kind of stuff would create a bigger stir in D.C. if the Nats were actually still in the race.

    Well I heard Rob Dibble who does the National's Radio or TV not sure was ripping them the night before big time....Dunn is a great hitter but not much of anything else...

    Stammen seems to be a decent hitting pitcher based on his numbers and his plate approach.

    Looks like both pitchers are settling in so maybe it wont be as high scoring but still think we can hit this guy second time around.

    We could actually be tied for 2nd at the end of the day if we win and the Brewers lose. As of now, we're losing and the Brewers are winning though.

    On the other hand, we could drop all the way back to 5th if we lose and the Reds win.

    Hampton will be lucky to get through 6 innings today. He doesnt look like he has "it" today. The only thing going for him is that he is pitching to the 25-60 Nationals.

    Also, it is nice to stay home and watch the game for a change. After going three days/nights in a row I forgot how nice it is to just stay home and watch on HD.

    Well, the Nats aren't a bad team, offensively. Unless you meant we should be able to outslug them.

    Looks like Hampy realized its the freaking NATIONALS without Zimmerman...pitch around Dunn be careful to Johnson and we are ok!

    Even without Zimmerman, they have a few other guys that can swing the bat. They score more runs than we do and lead the NL in walks.

    They're also tied for 2nd in team OBP... way ahead of the Astros.
