Game notes: sloppy, slop, slop

It's sooooo nice to be watching the Nats game right now, even if I do have to listen to Vin Scully's non-stop nasal voice calling the game and blabbering inane stories in space where silence should be. Billy Traber is pitching not very well, Jackson is kicking the ball all over the infield, the Dodgers have just scored. And scored again. They're really just bloop hits, and Jackson's error should have been a double play, but the Dodgers are scoring, which is all that matters.

No Soriwhino today. One would think that with how much he sucked during the WBC that he would come to camp as soon as possible. Schneider isn't playing today, and neither is Wiki. Another run. It's the first innning, and already my mind is telling Scully to shut up. Most annoying announcer ever - don't know why he is considered a good one, unless he's just annoying now because he's ancient. Zimmerman makes bad throw, two more runs score.

Zimmerman did change to number 11, so my question is answered about that.

Daryle Ward drops throw at first base. Ruled a hit, still a bonehead play. Sloppy, sloppy.

Bill Mueller, who looks funny in Dodger blue, just hit one out. 6-0. Nomar looks strange, too, but I never really got used to him in that Cubby uniform, either.

Ward makes another Nats error. Sloppy, slop, slop. No wonder Bowden and Robinson are angry with the defense. Zimmerman makes another bad throw. Sloppy, slop, slop, slop. Ledee hits one out, two runs against Majewski. Sigh...

It's not like we're fielding a triple A team now, although Guillen, Vidro, Schneider, and Johnson aren't out there, of course. You wouldn't know it was a Major League team by the slop slop and no hitting. With two weeks to go, you have to wonder if the season is lost. The team is a walking hospital now, not good, not good.

Nats get crushed in Spring Training again. Tsk, tsk.
