Lord, the Nationals are a mess. Even bigger mess than the Reds.

Yes they are. They will 100 games easily this season. The Marlins won't be far behind.

According to the Nationals broadcast Ramon's last fastball was 97MPH. Someone needs to check that radar gun.

I don't know where they were getting that. I looked at the radar reading on the RFK scoreboard all day and Ortiz was around 89-91 on his fastball all day.

Was it deep enough for an average runner to score?

I was there. Hatteberg could not have scored. Too slow and if Soriano can catch the ball he has a gun. A fast runner may scored but it would have been very close. I think they cut it off because Hatte never really looked like he was going to try to tag.

I live in D.C. and I hate the Redskins. Bengals all the way.

Me too! Except I'm a Cowboys fan!

It's almost like they aren't aware they're on the air. The way the converse is like the two drunk guys in the stands who think they know everything but don't know anything.

If it's the TV announcers you are talking about then I saw Paciorek before the game heading to the TV booth with what looked like a beer in his hand. So drunk reference may not be be too far off.
