What’s there to talk about?
Well not much.
Instead of talking about breaking records for best batting averages, most home runs, ERA etc. The only record were talking about breaking is the 100 losses record. The team does seem adamant about spoiling it for division rivals and will be putting the best lineup on the field (which isn’t much) for those games. We will see the likes of speedsters Tony Campana and Dave Sappelt in the lineup a lot this September. You will also see the likes of newcomer Miguel Socolovich and also recalled Chris Rusin who is on the mound tonight.
Veteran right-hander Edwin Jackson (8-9, 3.53 ) will try to make another contribution to the Nationals’ division title chase by building on a superb outing Tuesday night against the visiting Cubbies.
Chris Rusin (0-1, 1.80) will try to help the Cubs snap a three-game skid as he returns to the majors. The left-hander gave up one run and one hit over five innings in his MLB debut Aug. 21 in Milwaukee but took the loss in a 5-2 defeat.
I’m not going to sit here and bore you with blah blah blah because there isn’t blah blah blah to talk about.
The lineups consists of:
Cubs lineup:
DeJesus RF, Valbuena 3B, Rizzo 1B, Soriano LF, Castro SS, Castillo C, Jackson CF, Barney 2B, Rusin P
Nationals lineup:
Werth CF, Desmond SS, Zimmerman 3B, Morse RF, LaRoche 1B, Espinosa 2B, Moore LF, Flores C, Jackson P
GAMETIME:
7:05 PM ET, September 4, 2012
Nationals Park, Washington, D.C.
Go Cubs Go!!!
We could talk about how much i hate the people on my train lately….or about how awesome johnny is for always taking night game threads off my hands…
Awww she made my day. Nobody calls me awesome
Usually something along the likes of asshole or jerk face.
Now the guy in front of me is methodically popping zits on his bald head. Godammit, I hate this day.
That is disgusting
Sorry. I’ll stop doing that.
God damn Desmond is hot
I didn’t realize how hot Bryce Harper was. This makes me feel like a pedophile….
Um…yeah. So now it’s Byrce Harper. Good grief, woman.
He’s like the 8th hottest guy on the team
I think we’ve firmly established that you and I don’t exactly see eye-to-eye when it comes to checking out guys.
Yes. That is true. Mark is far more selective.
I only recognize like 3 cubs. Did they call up Iowa on sept 1?
Yup- the entire state…
I should have moved to Iowa.
5-0 Nationals in the 3rd. Rusin has given up 8 hits and 2 homeruns
This should be fun.
What, exactly, is your definition of “fun”?
This has been a fun game to watch so far
Mmmmmm Tyler Moore
I love that it’s okay for our young pitchers to suck and get emotionally destroyed, but not our hitters.
Soriano just tripled. Color me shocked.
Jayson Werth sucking helped.
Grocery shopping with a couple is horrible. Iv’e been standingin the produce aisle for 10 minutes and we just got here. Good thing I brought my flask.
What are the couple doing ?
They got married over the weekend so they talk through every decision that gets made. Like “honey would you mind if I bought some broccolli?”
Me: I just throw it in the basket.
Why don’t you make the produce decision for them, since they have marriage brain?
I did I just threw a head of it in the basket and they were like hmm ok.
Gio Gonzalez (17-7, 3.10 ERA) will face RHP Chris Volstad (2-9, 6.06 ERA)tomorrow. BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA My sides hurt so much now.
But wouldn’t it be great if Volstad pitched well?
