Adding Papelbon did not change the way Williams manages his bullpen, which is "unique" to put it mildly.

What I want to know is did the fans stay to watch all of that game?


I stayed until the very end.  As disastrous as it was, they came pretty close to pulling it off anyway.  All Escobar needed was a double and they would have won.  They weren't completely out of it until that last pitch.


Positive energy!!!!

Chalk it up to another "DC Curse" heh…. oh man.

It's such a bummer to see another DC team not living up to it's very clear potential. What the fuck. What in the serious fuck. At least the Wizards sort of over achieved this past season.

30 more days until hockey.

Speaking of hockey, apparently all of us who bought Gamecenter/Center Ice in the last few years are going to get a discount this year because of a class-action lawsuit.

This is going to be my first year going with Gamecenter instead of Center Ice.

At least hockey has 6 months before it breaks my heart.

Was anyone else at the game Sunday?

The legendary Judy Collins sang God Bless America and my die-hard atheist daughter refused to stand up. Great game too.

Nice to see Papelbon is still a jerk.  I'll be there tomorrow looking for the sweep.

I was at the game yesterday….more Orioles fans than Nats fans

I think Matt Williams is going to get the ax….

I was there too. Lots of Orange for sure.

Papelbon is just awful. I'd hate to have him on my team.

Wonder if there will be any retaliation.  I hope not.  O's should take the classy approach.

I know.  It's unbelievable that he missed Machado with the first two pitches.

Even though this has been a disappointing season, it was the season where my youngest son discovered he loves baseball so in the past month, we've been to 8 games. The beauty is that we rarely pay more than $15 per ticket and we're able to bike to the park in about 15 minutes. It was a great year for bonding with him at games. Dude is obsessed with Jayson Werth.

Since Harper already predicted his plunking, I'd throw a ridiculously slow breaking ball for a strike and laugh along with everyone else who were anticipating a high and tight fastball.

Then I'd hit him so f'in hard in the lower back with a fastball and wipe my hand on my pants like it got away from me.

Man, talk about some bad luck in that series. Hell of a season series for the Nats and O's. Super fun games to watch as a baseball fan, totally baffling to watch as a Nats fan. I feel bad for Yunel and Bryce because they've been busting their humps all season for this team. Wish we could have had the full line up healthy all year and that when the injured guys came back they could have heated up a bit quicker. Disappointing way to be going out this season though. Could have gained a game or 2 on the Mets. Sheesh.
