Wow, if we win tonight or the Braves lose, the Battle of the Beltways starting tomorrow is officially between first place teams! That's pretty cool in my opinion. Let's get it done boys, and take the season series from the Pirates as well.

I swear, if McCutchen played in New York or Boston, he'd be one of the major cult heroes in the game, instead of just an unknown star stuck in Pittsburgh.

I really wish that we would stop bouncing Harper all over the outfield. If he is going to have any chance at possibly being our center fielder of the future, then he needs to get used to playing there every single day, starting now.

Who the hell is James McDonald and how is he making such a massive fool out of the Nationals' lineup tonight? Eight strikeouts and a perfect game THROUGH ONLY FOUR INNINGS SO FAR.

5. Esoteric Posted: May 17, 2012 at 08:11 PM (#4134389)

9 strikeouts!

I'm not going to lie: the commercial where David Ortiz is riding around piggyback on that guy kind of creeps me out and makes me want to look away from the television.

7. Esoteric Posted: May 17, 2012 at 08:23 PM (#4134398)

Finally! A baserunner! McDonald still has the no-hitter going, though.

Seriously, if Scott Boras was McCutchen's agent, he'd already be demanding another $150 million contract extension.

In a way, it makes me kind of sad how his great talent is going to be totally wasted in a franchise going absolutely nowhere.

Hey, we sure could use a good centerfielder...let's talk to the Pirates.

10. Esoteric Posted: May 17, 2012 at 08:48 PM (#4134424)

Runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, and we're about to fail to cash in a single one of them.

So unbelievably frustrating.

11. Esoteric Posted: May 17, 2012 at 08:49 PM (#4134426)

I'm thrilled to have spoken too soon! Ryan Zimmerman with the clutch 2-run double!

12. Esoteric Posted: May 17, 2012 at 08:52 PM (#4134430)

EXTEND ADAM LAROCHE TONIGHT.

DO NOT WAIT.

This game is not over baby. We're right back in it!
