    Jose Abreu is the easy target, main target but this team just kinda sucks.

    “Just get rid of Maldy, this team will be better.”
    “Just get rid of Abreu, this team will be better.”
    “Just get the 5 SPs from the IL back, this team will be better.”
    “Just entering the easier part of the schedule, this team will get better.”

    If it ain’t the SP, it’s the bullpen. If it ain’t the bullpen, it’s the SP. If it ain’t pitching, it’s a dead lineup. If it ain’t this, it’s that. Rookie manager.

    Check the back of teams baseball card over last 7 years… we are doing fine.

    7-16 and lifeless

    My 8-19 prediction is coming true. Just gotta hope the firing happens to go along with it.

    I don't think any team would survive the amount of pitching injuries this team is going through at the moment. It is what it is. That said...the closers have sucked so they definitely deserve blame. The offense deserves some blame as well except for a few players who've shown up. But, this pitching injury BS...never seen it this bad.

    Nats got two strikes called balls in the 5th.,,, both led to walks.

    Abrams did NOT walk... he struck out.

    Two f***ing runs when the inning should've been scoreless.

    Let's if Caratini's blooper can turn into something.

    I was about to say something similar. It's shocking to see the amount of mental midgetry on this team right now. These players have been through some wars but a lot leadership over the years, specifically from position players, is no longer in the locker room and these guys look like they don't know what to do. Probably doesn't help with the chaos that's been going on in the front office. Was thinking after they were raving about JV's fire and brimstone speech they would turn it on but they are looking like some wimps again. It's a sad sight.
