Re: Go Nationals!

Lets see if the Cardinals are made of the same fight we had after getting down 6-0.

In 2004 SABR had their convention in Cincinnati several of us RZ's went to it, Sandy and I actually presented a piece on the 1st HR hit over a fence in Cincinnati history (ain't that a thrilling topic!!) anyway, one of the presenters was Dave Smith the guy who runs Retrosheet If you don't know about Retrosheet check it out, it's the bomb( His presentation was on the data of runs scored, really a fascinating piece, generally the data shows that a team that wins games with large crooked numbers tend to score them in one inning, and thus create huge hills to climb to overcome (the key is HUGE) most don't do it, I believe that like the Reds we are seeing it applied tonight to our Central rivals

Well Davey is doing his Dusty act and not getting anyone up in the bullpen as Gio is losing the zone and looking flustered. 6-2 bases loaded and 1 out and you still had no one up?

After Yadier Molina allows the tying run to score by throwing error.

The Nationals bring Edwin Jackson in to relieve. Are they trying to lose this game
