"I've got to learn how to slow the game down a little bit. When it's going good, I get into a nice rhythm. But when things go bad, I've got to learn how to kind of step back, take a little deep breath and tell myself I still have control. When you give up a homer like that, you have no control." (John Lannan, via Chatter/Washington Times, 9/8/2009)
Phils take Johnny Deep.
Phillies 5, Nats 3: 4 Philly HRs off Lannan too much for Nats. They had their chances in the 9th with bases loaded and 1 out, but Zim and Dunn couldn't get it done.
Silver Lining: Brad Lidge is not closing games for the Nationals.
Make that 0 wins in last 6 starts for Ace Lannan.
And so, the "Pedro Martinez in Washington in 2009" talk begins. Great.
