The Senators, O's and now Nats have been my passion for many years now. I do remember the wonderful year of the '59 Sox and Nellie, who was my hero as a High School BB player. Too bad they ran into a better pitching Dodger team (with Larry Sherry)in the WS. I do wish AD the best with the Sox. I told some of my old Sox friends that AD would be a real asset to the team and then he had such an awful year. These guys now know he can hit and just needs to get his BA up to around .250 or so. It would be absolutely perfect if our Nats played the Sox in the WS real soon. <br /><br />That was then this is now... Go Nats. I can't wait to see Davy and the guys in the 2nd half and head for the playoffs. See you at Nats Park.oldguyjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978735055335255286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-86033567353662933582012-07-10T13:29:43.476-04:002012-07-10T13:29:43.476-04:00Hey, Mark, or whoever did so, thanks for asking Bu...Hey, Mark, or whoever did so, thanks for asking Bud about MASN (per your tweeter feed thingy at top of this page).natsfan1ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540238101124316529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-71229158581272862292012-07-10T13:27:34.982-04:002012-07-10T13:27:34.982-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.natsfan1ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540238101124316529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-13412180481399256392012-07-10T13:13:37.981-04:002012-07-10T13:13:37.981-04:00I was at the prior World Baseball Classic series i...I was at the prior World Baseball Classic series in San Deigo and Japan was doing that to Cuba, Mexico and South Korea too.

In the semi-final game between the Japan and the US, the Japanese purposefully hit balls to RF to take advantage of Dunn's lack of range. They got 10 hits and beat the US 9-4. The exasperated look on Roy Oswalt's face when a Japanese inside-outed yet another fastball on the inner half and flared a ball at Dunn that he couldn't get to was priceless.<br /><br />He is definitely an AL player.#4https://www.blogger.com/profile/03100452642306906218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-1236898212524797272012-07-10T12:27:29.819-04:002012-07-10T12:27:29.819-04:00I will be glad to see Adam Dunn when we meet in th...I will be glad to see Adam Dunn when we meet in the WS.

Yes, it's cool to watch a string of K's, but it's even cooler to see the starter go past 6 innings.<br /><br />Another pitcher down. Ghost, even if Gio "regresses" a little, just STAY HEALTHY! That is going to be the key to the second half, that the pitchers can stay upright!<br /><br /><a href="http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/8147011/new-york-mets-pitcher-dillon-gee-hospitalized" rel="nofollow">new-york-mets-pitcher-dillon-gee-hospitalized</a><br /><br />http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/8147011/new-york-mets-pitcher-dillon-gee-hospitalizedNatsLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814911056080758503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-89846902060594392912012-07-10T11:12:59.653-04:002012-07-10T11:12:59.653-04:00While I was always a supporter of the Big Donkey, ...While I was always a supporter of the Big Donkey, in hindsignt, it was the best thing that happened for the supporting infielders sake.

I know that, in the end, Mike Rizzo knew more than I did, in terms of letting him go and bringing in ALR. But I'm glad for the years we had him, and thrilled he is an AllStar. I raise my mug of Diet Coke in toast to Adam Dunn!

Even without the towering HRs, LaRoche is obviously the better all-around hitter.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614998804163989623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-72970511023176131432012-07-10T10:59:28.277-04:002012-07-10T10:59:28.277-04:00If only he had soft hands at 1st base.
