Washington Nationals
Parents, hide your kid's eyes from this post…it's a little over the edge of PG. Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez had a fantastic season against Miami debut on Wednesday. While allowing two hits over six innings of scoreless ball, striking out five and walking two, Gonzalez also added a home run himself in the 3-0 […]
unhd.com We'll always have your perfect 48 for 48 season, Brad. Jayson Stark of ESPN tweeted this evening that Brad Lidge has informed his agents, Rex Gary and Jim Turner, that he plans to retire. Lidge, 35, was a first-round pick from the Houston Astros. He spent 2002-2007 with the Astros, posting a 23-20 record […]
That's a wrap. The Phillies ended the 2012 season this afternoon against the National League East Champion Nationals. Cliff Lee and Edwin Jackson squared off, both looking to end the regular season on a good note. Throughout the past two Nationals-Phillies series, Darin Ruf has sent home almost every single run for the Phils. In […]
Anyone still watching out there? The Nationals have clinched the National League East. All that's left to do now is finish these next two games. For the Phillies, all they're trying to do is end the season with a few more wins. Tyler Cloyd was originally scheduled to start tonight's ballgame in Washington, but due […]
Having clinched the National League East division last night during the Nationals 2-0 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies, but home field advantage still on the line, the Nationals have decided to rest their regular players. This is tonight's lineup vs. the Phillies: Lombardozzi 2B, Harper CF Moore LF LaRoche 1B Tracy 3B […]
This is it, folks. The final series of the 2012 season. A Nationals win tonight would send them to their first postseason since they moved to Washington, or a Braves loss would result in the same way. Kyle Kendrick would do everything he could to stall the celebration for another day. The Phillies took an […]
Who in their right minds would think that the Washington Nationals, yes the team that has been the laughing stock of Major League Baseball for the past seven seasons, would be in first place in their division with a 96-63 record? Not me. The Nationals can clinch the NL East for the first time in […]
If this is how the Nationals are going to play in the postseason, then the rest of the National League playoff contenders better watch out. The Phillies fell victim again to the Nats tonight in the final home game of the 2012 season. The Phils may be looking powerful as of late, but they were […]
Last night's victory over the Washington Nationals postponed their celebration for another day. To match that, the Atlanta Braves clinched a playoff spot with a walk-off win, and now they're looking to take over first place in the National League East. They can do that if the Phillies continue dominating the Nats. Kyle Kendrick, a […]
Even after last night's 6-3 rout over the NL East-leading Nationals, the Phillies remain 5 1/2 games out of the Wild Card standings. With eight games left in the regular season, the Phillies basically have to go 8-0 to have a shot. Even if they do go undefeated the rest of the season they still […]
