"I think everything is frustrating. I don't know how many times you can sit here and say we're better than what we are." (Adam Dunn, via Washington Post, 7/4/2009)
BOOOOOOOO!
Braves 9, Nationals 8: Yup, Detwiler stunk, and Colome, Villone, & Tavarez stunk out the joint again.
That's 9 losses out of the last 11, but who's counting?
Maybe Manny needs to try a longer team meeting next time? Or hand out lollipops to the guys? Hey, when does NatsTown start the Fire Manny Acta movement again?
Ross Detwiler makes a good case for J.D. Martin's promotion.
Gutless Jesus Colome refuses to face the music after the game (via Washington Times):
The reliever, whose ERA is now 8.40, declined to comment. "Not today. I don't feel good today," Colome said.
Meanwhile...0-4, 1BB, 1SB for new leadoff man Nook Logan Endy Chavez Brandon Watson Nyjer Morgan.
