Leaving him in to face Young with the bases loaded was kind of puzzling.

I would agree here, Young has been one of the best hitters of late in MLB so why take the risk. But, I am happy they did as I like the Nats and picked Young up in fantasy

[TonyDanza]

I voted a few times for Zambrano to make the all-star game, then i asked myself why? If he gets voted in, this will add to his resume when they resume negotiations. GO CHRIS YOUNG!

I got an extra free ticket to tonights game in DC. PM me if interested. Cross Post

Lou has lost his head. Here's tonight's lineup:

Soriano LF
Fontenot 2B
Ward 1B
Ramirez 3B
Floyd RF
Jones CF
Hill C
Izturis SS
Marshall P

Yeah, rest DLee when he has a five game suspension upcoming and the all-star break. I'm sure we'll score a bunch of runs with the likes of Izzy and JJ in the lineup together. Sometimes I think Lou has seriously lost his mind.

This is what happens when a manager is obsessed with making sure everyone gets to play. Who cares if Jones gets to play. That said, there prob isn't much of a difference btwn Jones and Pie even though I'd rather Pie play obv. Also, DeRosa should play every day no matter what - he is gut.

[DrunkIrish05]

the BP write up on JJ today is worth a read, no surprises, they also think he's terrible

[mblax10]

2-2, 2 doubles for Jones. Please don't put him back in the lineup Lou.

Does anybody else think Zambrano/Marquis should bat 8th when they pitch and let whichever catcher hit 9th?

Kearns RF

[kyleb]

that's because the nationals roster is terrible, not because manny acta is an idiot
