Scoreboard Watching: Brewers @ Nationals, 10a (Sept 24, 2012)

Get it? National Brewery?

Marco Estrada (4-6, 3.56) vs. Jordan Zimmerman (11-8, 2.96).

The Brewers sit a hair ahead of the Dodgers, 2.5 GB the Cardinals for the second wild-card spot. The Dodgers are three games back of St. Louis (who plays at Houston later tonight).

I don't know if the Dodgers will be watching this game on their off-day (knowing Josh Beckett, he'll be out golfing). But I will be watching (at least, through GameDay at work).

Brewers tie it in the top of the second (still batting)

1-1 through two innings.

Someone remind the Brewers they're supposed to suck.

Steve Sax said...

Nats score again. 2-1, with men at the corners and two out in the bottom of the fourth!

Steve Sax said...

Former Dodgers Jayson Werth doubles in both runners. 4-1 Nats.

Paul said...

So you're telling me there is a chance! Yeah!!!

Hideo Nomo said...

Still have to count on the Astros.

(sighs)

Steve Sax said...

Holy shit, it's 7-1 after a Harper walk (Werth SB, which was moot) and a Zimmerman HR (Ryan, not the pitcher Jordan).

7-1 Nats through four frames.

Paul said...

If only there was a way to get into the playoffs without relying on other teams to lose....

This should be an off day puzzle Stubbs.

Hideo Nomo said...

Nats threatening to get more.

Hideo Nomo said...

9-1 Nats after a Kurt Suzuki double!

Franklin Stubbs said...

@Paul

If only we could go back and un-lose some games in June...

Dusty Baker said...

Hell yeah, only team I have left to root for, realistically!

Steve Sax said...

9-1! Looks a lot like the Dodgers' offense!

(the 1 part, that is)

Steve Sax said...

Nyjer Morgan is betting .243. What's worse is that spreads across three personalities.

Fred's Brim said...

What's worse than worse is that he didn't get up to .243 until 3 weeks ago

12-2 Washington, B8

Ah, Truly Tasteless Jokes.

I remember buying those books at elementary school book fairs. Imagine the outrage if that happened now.

Hideo Nomo said...

Nats win 12-2!

That's right, Brewers! You get back down here with us! Don't go thinking you're special!

Steve Sax said...

12-2 final. Now to watch Jays @ O's (game 1 of the double-header underway)
