I'm in Hotlanta tonight and will see Stephen Strasburg throw against the Braves...

I'll let you know what his heater sounds like in person.

1. Trumad, when we say Hotlanta

we mean Hotlanta. It has been stifling hot the last 3 weeks. 95 degrees today and it's not even July. It's freakin' awful.

3. Not bad last night---the weather that is...

Strasberg was nails until the 7th but he gave up a walk and then a hit to start the inning... from there the bumbling Nationals let him down with an error that would have been an easy double play. They got him after that and he was yanked.

The kid is the real deal and will be a star in this league as soon as he gets away from the Nats.

7. Umm he's a star now.

Just like Dontrelle Willis USED TO BE when he was with the now pathetic Marlins. BTW, with Strasburg I can assure you Washington will have better attendence than Miami. Also, given the farm system, just as the Nats are substantially better than they were last year, they will be better next year. At least our ownership is TRYING to be competitive unlike Florida who likes to sell off their best players.
Strasburg, like Zimmerman is going to be here for a long time.

8. Dude---

Two World series championships since 1996.... Are you seriously comparing the Nat's franchise to the Marlins?

You are quickly becoming the second coming of Cboy4.

9. Umm I guess Aaron Boone is an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about?

BTW, Washington does have better attendence and their management is TRYING to win. The Marlins? After they win a WS they auction off all their talent. I'm not surprised they don't have a good following.
You really have no clue about the Nats. I do. I also see how incompetent the Nats WERE but are changing. The Marlins? Not so much. Seriously. Like firing the manager that last got them to the playoffs. Maybe they can hire Manny Acta after he gets fired from Cleveland. Oh wait, they think Bobby Valentine is the answer. BWAHAHAHA. Dude. No contest. Nats are a better run franchise at this point with a way better farm system too.

10. Huh?

Do you even read what you write...

2 world series championships in the last 15 years but you're still ripping the Marlins franchise.

Dude---you are the fucking Montreal Expos with a name and city change... Your franchise sucked in Montreal and now sucks in DC.

Why is it that you guys continue to get first round draft choices.... because you're the Detroit Lions of baseball.

Win a championship before you fucking chirp about how great your team is.

God it's like arguing with a 5 year old.

6. The south is full of good looking girls

Edited on Tue Jun-29-10 09:36 AM by wilt the stilt

because America loves English stock and that is what is dominant in the south. None of those swarthy looking immigrants.
