It's the only real buzz we've had in the last 3 years, and right when it is being noticed, it fizzles out on the last day of a roadie. No streak excitement for us at home. That is the karma of being a Nats fan.DMannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-19574797248624275102009-05-13T17:16:00.000-04:002009-05-13T17:16:00.000-04:00This one looks like it could come down to needing ...This one looks like it could come down to needing a closer, too, unless Martis can finish again.<br /><br />Where's Dunn?<br /><br />Isn't Cordero with the Mariners' organization?MikeHarrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120210292656990693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-9811010830971847652009-05-13T17:14:00.000-04:002009-05-13T17:14:00.000-04:00I saw Chad Cordero in the stands during the Arizon...I saw Chad Cordero in the stands during the Arizona series, I was half hoping they would pull him out of the stands.

I agree that Hanrahan has the pitches, but the shell shock he suffers from is a disqualifier at this point. <br /><br />At least Cintron got a hit last night.Sec314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-10262880458632452382009-05-13T09:47:00.000-04:002009-05-13T09:47:00.000-04:00I think the Post said the count was now six - I kn...I think the Post said the count was now six - I know of at least four (the whole Marlins series and last night) and I'm sure I'm forgetting some.MikeHarrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120210292656990693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-11513365646365549212009-05-13T09:44:00.000-04:002009-05-13T09:44:00.000-04:00We're what, 10-21?

He did OK at the end of last season. But how do you fix the head after the disasters of this season?<br />I guess you keep throwing him out there and hope he figures it out. The good thing about being terrible is you aren't risking your playoff position by trying things.<br />I guess, too, there's a reason that Beimel has always been considered an eighth-inning guy.MikeHarrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120210292656990693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-26100745886013121472009-05-13T09:26:00.000-04:002009-05-13T09:26:00.000-04:00I vote for Hanrahan or Mock.
