Wow. He just walked a guy that had walked 7 times in 327 plate appearances with a 6-run lead.

Have a little confidence, man. We just scored 7 in one inning [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Can't decide if I think sweeping the Nats is good or bad prep for facing the red hot Phillies...

It's a great thing. And people keep talking like this series doesn't mean anything because it's against the Nationals, does anybody remember us losing that series there last year?

Yes, and I heard some people saying this was going to be a tough series, so I don't think we would've swept them last month. We're playing a lot better now.

I think going into Philly confident would be good but going in giddy would be bad. The Phillies are very, very good and the Nats are very, very bad.

I don't think they're going to be giddy about anything this year, but they'll be more confident after this series and that's a good thing.

[Clapp]

I see Blanton is now listed as the game 2 starter, Hamels not listed to face us. Nice. And we have Z going against Moyer.

[jstraw]

I'll be cool with anything better than getting swept in Philly and then a home stand.
