It's really bright downtown.

 

Does anyone want to bring me a beer at work?

[wallus]

The start Vargas is having is really reminding me of that great first half Victor Santos had back in the day.

[hauser42]

Gross again? Is it because Gwynn can't play right field or something? I think Tony has earned himself another start. Especially since Gross started last night and almost cost us the game.

 

I don't think Gwynn's arm would play in RF. Gross is a better option at this point but Gwynn is closing the gap a little so far when it comes to the plate.

...back in the day.

 

seems like this could be a seperate thread: what do you consider "back in the day"? for me it's '85-'92. Higuera, Wegman, et. al.

Except that Vargas seems to be the "Anti-vampire".

 

Remeber how bad Santos was in day games? Wasn't his era like 3 runs worse in day games?

[sheetswannabe]

Vargas=Onion

[aracko]

Lets see those old legs work CC. Steal 3rd.

[Ennder]

Difference is Vargas actually has a little talent, Santos never did.

[Team Canada]

How long is Vargas' shutout streak now?

 

 

something like 15-16 I think?

[Mass Haas]

Watching on MLB.TV

 

That last play by Rickie was insane. Wait until you see the highlights later, wow...

[bucksman4]

Watching the Nats feed on MLB.TV....Rickie sure made a nice play there to end the inning. Kind of a "look what I found" effort but sure enough a nice play altogether.

[RightFieldCoder]

Jinx TC. Here comes a 6 run inning from the Nats.

[brettac1]

Jenkins is the man.

[Voodoo Muppet]

I'm stuck with just MLB.com gameday and no radio. How close was Gross to making that back-to-back?

[EinhornIsFinkle]

Uecker said he caught it up against the padding on the fence.

[Voodoo Muppet]

Thanks Einhorn. I just can't get an AM radio signal in this building to hear Uek.

[craigharmann]

Vargas is doing very well so far today. He's really been a pleasant surprise this year.

[brettac1]

Damn. I knew Lopez was going to start to hit, but why did he have to pick this series?

[PrinceFielder28]

Man Lopez just owns Vargas

[craigharmann]

Only 1-1....they'll come around on Bergmann.

[Brewers77]

Vargas pitching well with a little trouble here and there but we should be able to score 4 or more runs and that usually does it against a team like the nats.

[bobskube]

I gotta bad feelin we may see Spurling or Dessens today.

 

Sorry...

[bucksman4]

Yeah I don't get a good feeling about this game. We can't seem to put anything together against this pitcher. His ERA on the year seems to be a pretty accurate reflection of his pitching performance today. He has some good stuff. JJ may be kissing his hitting streak goodbye too.

[PrinceFielder28]

Why shouse? Isn't he just a situation guy

[PrinceFielder28]

They also have Spurling warming
