I think it's amazing more people don't get hurt trying to run a hit out to first - ad rain in there and it's a recipe for disaster.I like the Nats. Feel for their fans. Wouldn't mind seeing them win a WS since the Phils blow and they got rid of Pappelbon - just can't stand their commentators - some of the most cringe worthy brutal homers out there - F.P. Santangelo sounds like he wants to leave the booth and run out onto the field and make love to some of the players at times.

Nats fans always have to deal with the Strasburg injuries - now this......
Their pitching seems to be imploding lately, too.
I do feel bad for Harper, though. I know he projects "jerk" much of the time, but he seems to actually be a cool guy in interviews.
That video is brutal to watch. It looks like his knee bent backwards. His leg looked like it was made of rubber for a moment.
I'm a Phils fan. Would love nothing more than the Phils to be fighting at the top of the NL East either for the division or a wildcard.
Ain't happening. Rebuild had has hit some major bumps in the road and some of the kids on the farm - 'J.P. Crawford' comes to mind and guys they were supposed to build their team around - Maikel Franco - don't seem like 1/3 of the players they were supposed to be.
Curious to see what they do with all this money they have stashed.
That being said - I don't have a strong dislike for the Nats and Fish like I do the Bravos and Mutts - and I guess you can say I'm a rare breed when 'your' team blows - I want the division rivals to do well - makes that rivalry and when they come into your 'park' that much more fun.
As a Phils fan - do you think I want to go to the park and see a last place Nats team that sucks - or a team that is competing for the division every year and the Phils knock them out of the playoff hunt the last week of the season. Makes the game that much more fun and interesting in my eyes than your team beating up on the Little Sisters of the Poor.
