Holland wimpy mustache and all pulled a gem out. Heard the mustache is a result of a bet with local radio guys, won't shave it until the Dallas Cowboys lose.

This has been the craziest post season that I can remember and I have no idea what will happen next - don't think anyone else does either. Seven games, please!! The peach fuzz mustache makes me laugh.baseballswaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-48913318019504500512011-10-24T06:23:31.529-04:002011-10-24T06:23:31.529-04:00Well, I stayed up for the whole thing again.

Thank the baseball g*ds for off days. <br /><br />The heart-to-heart with the skipper must have done the trick, because the mustache kid pitched a heck of a game in that bandbox. Unfortunately for him, he evidently couldn't convince in the second tete-a-tete, because he didn't get to finish it out, not with the big boys coming up. On the other hand, Jackson was in and out of trouble the whole game, and it caught up with him eventually. Wonder what tonight's game will bring? (And how late it will go. Yawn.)natsfan1anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-77072517890409463302011-10-24T01:12:11.985-04:002011-10-24T01:12:11.985-04:00Edwin Jackson is a lot like H-Rod.

I expect Mike Rizzo will sign him and add him as competition to the starting rotation ... along with a trade for Zach Grienke.<br /><br />If the Nats sign Pujols the Phillies crumble to dust. I am fairly certain many here would enjoy that that way too much. <br /><br />Ignore bleacher report nonsense. Nats could play in the series as soon as 2012, the purported end of days. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-29063696645440526522011-10-23T23:02:15.641-04:002011-10-23T23:02:15.641-04:00http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/anatomy-of-a-...http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/anatomy-of-a-baseball-trade-10202011.html<br /><br />Details of text messages between the Braves and Astros to do the Bourn tradeGonatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-37294793143248356072011-10-23T22:22:24.540-04:002011-10-23T22:22:24.540-04:00In the 'amusing but meaningless" category...In the 'amusing but meaningless" category, Bleacher Report has the Nats in the 2015 World Series, with Zimmerman playing 1B and Rendon playing 3B:<br /><br />http://bleacherreport.com/articles/906487-mlb-predictions-the-lineups-and-rotations-of-the-next-10-world-series-teams/page/8<br /><br />You'll find that the Nats' opponent will be Yankees, led by #1 pitcher Tim Lincecum.Eugene in Oregonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-69224859810369873442011-10-23T20:21:07.863-04:002011-10-23T20:21:07.863-04:00Sorry, Eugene, I was wrong - Edwin Jackson is in t...Sorry, Eugene, I was wrong - Edwin Jackson is in trouble already.....baseballswaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-83113576634160947702011-10-23T20:13:49.961-04:002011-10-23T20:13:49.961-04:00Eugene - ah, come on, they can go at least three!Eugene - ah, come on, they can go at least three!baseballswaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-13978474882555250292011-10-23T20:02:31.107-04:002011-10-23T20:02:31.107-04:00So, it's the top of the first.
