Padres send Cashner to face his former club
Right-hander was drafted by Chicago in '08; Feldman starts for Cubs
A January 2012 trade between the Cubs and Padres will be in the spotlight on Wednesday night, when the clubs meet in the third contest of a four-game series at Wrigley Field.
The two premiere pieces of that deal, pitcher Andrew Cashner and first baseman Anthony Rizzo, figure to square off multiple times. Cashner will get the ball for the Padres as he makes his second career start at Wrigley and first against his former club.
The Padres evened the series with a 13-7 win on Tuesday and have won five of their past six. The Cubs, who will counter Cashner with Scott Feldman, have won four of six.
Cashner was the Cubs' first-round pick in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft and spent time with the big league club in 2010 and '11, starting only once in 60 appearances. Then he was dealt for Rizzo, in a trade that also involved a pair of Minor Leaguers.
The 26-year-old, who made two relief appearances against the Cubs last year, said he doesn't treat pitching at his former home park differently. But he does appreciate its uniqueness.
"It's a cool place to play. A lot of history here," Cashner said. "Babe Ruth walked through here, and all the All-Stars. You kinda sit down and take all that in when you get here. It's in a neighborhood. It's a unique ballpark. Obviously, here and Fenway are probably the two ballparks to be in, as old as they are and the history they have."
Cashner (1-1, 3.26 ERA) began the season in the bullpen before shifting to the rotation. In two starts, he has given up three runs on seven hits in 10 innings, with two walks and 10 strikeouts. His last time out, he upped his innings from four to six and his pitch count from 65 to 83.
"I started out as a long [relief] guy, so I was able to go multiple innings," Cashner said. "But you just keep pitching and your pitch count gets up and you get built up."
Cashner and Rizzo have faced each other only once so far, with Cashner getting the strikeout. Rizzo is off to a slow start this season, although he doubled three times on Tuesday and has notched multiple hits in three of his last five games.
Feldman (1-3, 3.92) picked up his first Cubs victory in his last start, holding the Marlins to two runs in 6 2/3 innings on Friday in Miami. Of the 16 runs the right-hander has allowed this season, only nine have been earned.
Padres: April much kinder to Hundley
• Catcher Nick Hundley finished last April with a .217/.300/.362 batting line, the start of a tough season that included a stint in the Minors.
After going 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs on Tuesday, Hundley closed the opening month of 2013 at .329/.357/.544. Since April 9, he is hitting .375 with three home runs and 10 RBIs.
• San Diego reached double digits in runs scored for the first time this season on Tuesday, after topping three runs only twice in its previous 10 contests.
Cubs: So close, yet so far
The Cubs' 13-7 loss on Tuesday snapped a season-opening streak of 25 straight games decided by four runs or fewer, a franchise record and the second-most all time in Major League history. With all of those close games, the club's record easily could be much better than 10-16.
"We know what our starting pitching can be every night," manager Dale Sveum said. "If we can go through a stretch in the next 25 games with our starting pitching being as good as they have been in the first 25 games, then you know you'll be in games, and if our offense heats up and we start getting more timely hitting and we start busting some games open, you win some of those [close] games."
The Cubs also have been hurt by 21 errors and the Majors' lowest batting average with runners in scoring position.
"The biggest thing right now why we're 10-15 and not 15-10 is just timely hitting," Sveum said before Tuesday's loss. "Twenty-five games in a row have been decided by four runs or less. You get a little more timely hitting and you hit .250 instead of .150, that's a lot of runs in 25 games."
Worth noting
• Feldman's only career start against the Padres came last season, when he held them to two runs over six innings while pitching for the Rangers.
• Tuesday marked only the second time this season the Cubs have surrendered more than seven runs in a game, and the first time in one that didn't go extra innings.

Re: Peugeot Appreciation SocietyPeugeot Aneto CFX10 - Reynolds 531c, full 105, turbo saddle, 3t stem, bars and seatpost. One of my 'regret i sold it' bikes.
Re: Peugeot Appreciation SocietyI own this Peugeot. A very nice & very original piece that's hardly been riden. Got it from a much older guy that had it sitting in his living room next to his 1953 Triumph motocycle for God knows how long. It's the French version 501 Reynolds frame (circa '85 I was told), still has original Michelin tyres on French Rigida rims, Simplex drive & Wienmann brakes.

Re: Peugeot Appreciation SocietyGuys,
Does this get me membership? It's a 1976 Peugeot PR and is currently somewhere between Europe and Oz. http://s817.photobucket.com/albums/zz97/Hamster_album/1976%20Puegeot%20PR/ Looking forward to taking it out for a spin. It would not be at all strange if history came to the conclusion that the perfection of the bicycle was the greatest achievement of the nineteenth century.
Re: Peugeot Appreciation Society
Thats an incredible bike and certainly for sunny days only, if you ever ride it.
Re: Peugeot Appreciation SocietyI bought a Peugeot at a garage sale on the weekend, I think it is a PH10SC circa 1983-4.
I need a speedo sensor for it, if anyone knows where I might find one. I like it very much, I hankered after one when I was younger but they were out of my price range. I got this for $20!
Re: Peugeot Appreciation SocietyOne very sad little Peugeot.
If I ever find that time this will once again be a lovely little bike. It would not be at all strange if history came to the conclusion that the perfection of the bicycle was the greatest achievement of the nineteenth century.
Re: Peugeot Appreciation SocietyI won't put up pics because i'm too embarrassed but i have an Iseran frame i stripped, de rusted and did a god awful rattle can spray job on. Had it all built up for my brother (except the seat post), and THEN realised i should check the size. Yep way too small. So all the parts went on another bike and that frame with the disgusting paint job is sitting in the shed waiting for me to decide what to do.
One day i will find a Peugeot mixte at the tip that i can do up for my better half. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Peugeot Appreciation SocietyNot sure if this qualifies for the 'appreciation' or 'unappreciation' society. My supermarket bike. Rather generic nervex lugged peugeot in deliberate poor cosmetic condition. The bike I'm not unaffraid to leave outside a shop. Still has the mafac brakes, but running sugino maxi cranks, shimano hubs, 27inch sun rims, suntour shifters & rear derailluer. Wanted to run a suntour on the front derailluer too, but of course the ruddy french have an unusual seat tube dia and the clamp won't hold. Will maintain it in good running condition and maybe do some kind of tidy up one year.
Also have a 1970's mixte currently getting an overhaul. Will post pics when complete. LG = Low Gear
Re: Peugeot Appreciation SocietyBonsoir Peugeot-istes!
Here's my latest project - old DF-5 mixte. Steel everything and rusty as all hell. Going to sand it down a bit to see how far the corrosion goes. If it's OK, it's off to be sandblasted.

Re: Peugeot Appreciation Society
Thanks for the link, that's a very interesting site, especially the page about the bike boom, i can't believe that 15 million bikes were sold in one year in the 70s! Thanks to that site, i've now decided to to a proper job on my Iseran (and then sell/give it away as it's too small for me) and am thinking about using appropriate components, but i can't find anywhere on that site what sort of derailleurs it had, only 'shimano z501 stem shifters'.

Re: Peugeot Appreciation SocietyHi there - this also posted in retro biking but was asked to post photos here
I just picked up a Peugeot road bike ($20) and was wondering if anyone has more complete info on the bike than I have been able to muster. It came with a Suntour Superbe group set (yippeee) in pretty good condition 10 speed, with Shimano 5 speed freewheel. It has a Sugino Titanium axle / BB, Fiamme tubular rims (for the bin I think) and the hubs are called (I think) Sunshine pro-am (might keep these If folks think this is worthwhile). The frame has a few patches of surface rust but seems to be in good condition and seems pretty light. It has Champion stamped on the bottom of the BB. Can anyone provide info on the age and frame material. Is it a bike that I should put a lot of effort into restoring? I may go down the powdercoating / spray paining route and I've found some decals from Cyclomono which are pretty close. Any idea where I could find some Superbe decals?? Photos are here http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0091009/photo ... 210696596/ http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0094009/photo ... 210698182/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/68319996@N08/6210181701/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/68319996@N08/6210694164/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/68319996@N08/6210693508/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/68319996@N08/6210182415/ Also I'm going to take out the bottom bracket, can I assume that its regular thread on LHS and reverse thread on RHS as with most bikes, or is the French thing a bit different?

Political relations
The Federal Republic of Germany has maintained friendly relations with Zambia since the latter gained independence on 24 October 1964. Zambia is one of the partner countries of German development cooperation.
There are regular visits to Zambia by German business delegations, the most recent ones being in April and May 2013.
Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Dirk Niebel visited Zambia in May 2013. The visit focused on Germany's commitment to promoting biodiversity and the creation of a cross-border national park in southern Africa (KAZA project). Minister Niebel was accompanied by a high-ranking delegation and met with a number of Zambian officials, including Tourism Minister Masebo and Finance Minister Chikwanda. Niebel's programme also included an exchange of views with the leaders of Zambia's opposition parties.
Economic relations
In 2012, German imports from Zambia were worth a total of EUR 32.8 million. In the same year, German exports to Zambia totalled approximately EUR 90.4 million. Zambia has a keen interest in and a high regard for German products, particularly motor vehicles, mechanical engineering and chemical products. The following bilateral economic agreements are in place:
- Agreement of 10 December 1966 on the promotion and mutual protection of investments
- Double taxation agreement of 30 May 1975
- Air transport agreement of 22 October 1996
Development cooperation
Zambia is a partner country of German development cooperation. The principal objectives of German-Zambian cooperation are reducing poverty, developing good governance and improving overall social and political conditions. As part of bilateral development cooperation, in late November 2011 Germany pledged EUR 74 million in new funding for Financial and Technical Cooperation projects for the period 2011-2013. A further commitment of EUR 8 million was made from the Energy and Climate Fund for climate-related measures in the water sector. Development cooperation focuses on two areas:
- water and sanitation
- good governance including the components: a) decentralization and local governance, b) citizen participation in reform processes and poverty reduction, c) good financial governance
Additional funding is provided for the cross-cutting sectors gender equality, environmental and resource protection and HIV/AIDS prevention.
Since 2007, Zambia also receives general budget support, which Germany provides together with other donors to help implement Zambia's national development strategy.
In addition, the Federal Government supports the work of several non-governmental organisations in Zambia as well as that of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, which has its own office in Lusaka and is conducting a number of socio-political measures in Zambia.
Cultural relations
Germany's cultural cooperation with Zambia focuses on the following areas:
- expanding German instruction
- sport (short- and long-term coaches, donations of equipment and the organization of youth football tournaments); a long-term coach for track and field athletics has been seconded to Zambia since July 2012
- information trips to and further-training measures in Germany for representatives of Zambia's political, cultural and media sectors.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be another one of those hot topics. But none the less here goes.
What do you do when some one elses chaos is having a direct impact on your life. I don't own any part in it, and thus far I haven't acted on it. I am trying not to react to it. I am doing my step work and using my higher power. Is there any more I should be doing.

John Lannan and the Nats try to keep the winning streak alive tonight.
At this point, you know what's at stake for the Nationals tonight at Sun Life Stadium. They're in search of their fourth straight win, their 10th straight on the road, a .500 record and a shot at finishing the season with a winning record.
In order to accomplish all that, the Nats will need a strong outing from John Lannan (in search of his 11th victory). And they'll need to find a way to do something nobody has done for the last month: Beat Javier Vazquez. Over his last five starts, the Marlins' veteran right-hander is 5-0 with an 0.25 ERA. Yeah, that's right. He's allowed one total run over his last five starts (one of which was a shutout of the Nationals in D.C.).
As if the challenge wasn't tough enough already, the Nats don't have Ryan Zimmerman in the lineup tonight. It appears he's getting the day off so Steve Lombardozzi can get a start at third base. Zimmerman, of course, will be available off the bench, so he could still provide the same kind of heroics he displayed in Philadelphia last week in a similar situation.
Enjoy the game and the conversation…
NATIONALS at MARLINS
Where: Sun Life Stadium
Gametime: 7:10 p.m.
Radio: WJFK (106.7 FM), WFED (1500 AM), XM 188

We owe Vazquez a smackdown, sorta something for him to him to remember in his retirement.The Fish are ripe for a 3 game filleting, particularly with Nunez back home changing his name and his age!
- natsfan1a - Sep 27, 2011 at 8:12 PM
Sounds like just what the Doc(tor) ordered. :-)Go, LannEn! Go, NATS!!
- NatsJack in Florida - Sep 27, 2011 at 8:17 PM
All things being equal, unless Lannan eliminates his penchant for nibbling and falling behind hitters, this will be a tough night. And top that off that it's quite possibly the last time Javier Vasquez takes the mound in his career, I'll be totally shocked if we can pull this out.
- Anonymous - Sep 27, 2011 at 8:30 PM
Whatever happens in Florida the last two games, I think it would be great if some fans went out to the airport to greet the Nats when they return home. Has this ever been done before?Is it possible?
- Nats Outsider - Sep 27, 2011 at 8:31 PM

Surprised Ramos is starting as I thought Flores would get this start and Pudge tomorrow to finish out the season.Maybe Davey wants Ramos to get a HR to be the all-time leader in HRs for a catcher in a Washington uniform. I think Boz said that Earl Battey holds the record and Ramos is now tied with Battey at 15. I know Gene Green hit 18 in 1961 to lead the Senators in HRs but he only hit 14 as a catcher.Cool trivia question, who led the Senators in HRs in 1961? Gene Green
- RPrecupjr - Sep 27, 2011 at 8:56 PM
Ok, maybe I'm getting a little sentimental here….But what do you think of a battery of Livo and Pudge for the ninth inning of tomorrow's game, provided we have a comfortable lead?I propose this for two reasons: First, it will probably be the last time we see either one in a Nats uniform and second, it is the last game at that sad excuse for a ballpark, why not let the pitcher who led them to the 1997 WS title and the catcher who led them to the 2003 title close the house? Something nice for the 47 fans who will be there, why not?
- Nats Outsider - Sep 27, 2011 at 9:02 PM
I know your heart's in the right place, RPrecupjr, but I wonder if this is what Pudge and Livo would want. I think Livo, at least, wants (expects?) to come back next year. Pudge might want the same thing, but if he finds a place where he can catch 80+ games a year, he might go in search of his 3,000 hit goal. I wouldn't want to say goodbye to them, unless they are reconciled to going. BTW, as another poster said here a day or two ago, I think there will be a good last-day crowd tomorow, if the weather cooperates. Last time in the ball park, last time the team is called the Florida Marlins, and an opportunity to see Strasburg pitch.
- Nats Fan in Annandale - Sep 27, 2011 at 9:13 PM
I have a Q for you trivia meisters: Nats have at least 5 players on the active roster who are Tommy John "survivors" — Stras, JZimm, Mattheus, Burnett, and Ankiel. Only minor leaguer I've seen mentioned is Jack McGeary. Who am I missing?GYFNG!!!

It figures Mr. Anti-neg-anon NatsJack would be an unbeliever,Friggin' hypocrite yeah that's Latin too dude.Oh yeah kind a like Beast Mode is AAAA right NatsJack?Okay I your chief neg-anon will stick his neck out.Yeah they'll do it. This isn't. Giggleman's Isle where Marerrowould barely have played, Lombardozzi would ride the pineand if he could gotten La Roche to play Injured so that he could do "smart ball".This is Davey. He has no problem developingthe young prospects, getting them comfortablein the majors. He's cocky, watch us won withBradley Peacock ( who should be startingthis game) and he doesn't have to wait for Spring Training for it like Giggleman.Even with Lannan they will find a way. Thisgame and the next and set the tone fornext spring when the beasts all get unleashed … Perhaps even Harper. Andforget Matt Kemp or any new CF it's JaysonWerth. Mark it and book it.
- RPrecupjr - Sep 27, 2011 at 9:16 PM
You make a good point about the possible crowd except for a couple of points:It's a 4:10 pm game, approximately the same time as the thunderstorm that rolls in daily from April to November (I spent 6 1/2 years in S FL)It's also an afternoon game on a Wednesday when school is in session, so unless a bunch of schools decided to buy group tix for tomorrow, there probably won't be too many kids there.While it IS Strasburg, it's still Strasburg on rehab, so who knows how much he'll pitch. It may very well end up like a little league game with everybody getting to play because it's the last game of the season, though if we go in at 80-80, I think Davey goes for the jugular (I certainly HOPE he does)So while it would be nice to see a crowd approximating the actual definition of a crowd, I don't hold out much hope for more than 5000 in attendance.
- A DC Wonk - Sep 27, 2011 at 9:19 PM
So while it would be nice to see a crowd approximating the actual definition of a crowd, I don't hold out much hope for more than 5000 in attendance. Bzzzt. Self contradictory.5000 is an actual definition of a crowd.For the Marlins, that is . . .
- Tim the Enchanter - Sep 27, 2011 at 9:20 PM
Don't understand why Zimmerman is getting the day off. The season ends tomorrow and Zimmerman missed so much time already this season. Perhaps Johnson will pull a Riggleman double-switch and pinch hit Zimmerman for Lannan in the fifth or sixth and keep him in the game.

Anon @4:30pm, great idea if it can work. How bout it, Mark, any insight on the team charter plans? I know they left from DCA on Sunday (Jesus Flores tweeted it) so I would assume they return there. My guess is they fly back that night. Who's up for a late night arrival party?

- Nats Outsider - Sep 27, 2011 at 9:25 PM
Well, I did say, "if the weather cooperates."Here's the thing: I am sure they have *sold* a lot of tickets. Even last night, despite everything, they were able to claim 21,000+, which has to represent sales rather than people who went through the turnstiles. For the last game, the number has to be higher than that. Some will not show up, especially if the usual storm comes through. But I am expecting that a lot of them will come, or at least a lot in comparison to yesterday's crowd. Oh, well. No matter. In 30 hours or less, we'll know for sure. But the Expos had very nice attendance figures when they had their last appearance in Montreal. I forget the numbers, but the joke at the time was that they would not have left if they could regularly draw like that.

It would be the politically correct thing to do
- Section 222 - Sep 27, 2011 at 10:04 PM
Interesting post by Kilgore about how the Nats could sneak into the top 15 in MLB with another few wins and thereby have to give up their No. 1 pick if they sign a Type A free agent. I'm sure no one would support throwing these games, but at least this wrinkle will give us some consolation if the Fish resume their dominance over our team. Just think how much different things would be if we had had to give up the Rendon pick to the Phillies for signing Werth? Is finishing over .500 important enough to sacrifice our No. 1 pick in 2012? i'm satisfied with 79 wins, a 10 game improvement over last year.
- ehay2k - Sep 27, 2011 at 10:05 PM
A lifelong 'Skins maniac, I actually skipped most of the NFL game to watch the Nats game. We're talking about Dallas on Monday night!! Call me a convert. My wife was shellshocked. Seeing the Beast's Homer made it all worth it. I just can't wait for tonight's meaningless-to-all-but-the-most-diehard-fans game. I would wager that Zimm is sitting because Lombo needs to show what he can do. If this is an emotional night for Vasquez, then perhaps it's best to try to hit him hard early, before he settles down?Really want Morse to go 2 for 3, and RamMoose to get just one more dinger. (TY Matt Capps!)Lastly, I heard Ronald McDonald called dibs on the seats.

If you go on the Marlins site there are very few lower level seats left for Wednesday. Even Stub Hub has few, where I would have like to sit, for a fair price. Hopefully a win tonight drops the prices.Thanks NatJack, I will be there.
- Mark Zuckerman - Sep 27, 2011 at 10:19 PM
A few of you have surmised correctly, that most of the players will be scattering from Florida after Wednesday's game and going straight home. Some will come back to D.C., but the majority won't. Even so, I'm not sure if the general public is allowed to gather in an area of the airport where a charter flight lands…Meanwhile, it appears (based on the tweets of some of my colleagues down in Florida) that Ryan Zimmerman has a mild hamstring strain, which is why he's not in the lineup tonight. Sounds like there's a chance he doesn't play tomorrow, either, which would be unfortunate.

Hope no one gets hurt on this field. Don't know what they're saying/showing on MASN, but one of the Marlins' announcers just said the field is in the worst shape he's ever seen. Earlier they showed a bit of right field that was the college football sideline over the weekend and it's a mess. Also, before last night's game, they showed the perimeter of the field (along the foul lines) and there are spots where what looks like dirt is really some sort of plywood or particle board with the corners folding up. It looks to me like an accident waiting to happen.

Apparently most stadiums report the attendance at "paid" – even if sth don't show up, they are counted. The Nats report those who showed up – those little ticket scanners do the counting. So when our attendance is reported, it's accurate. Was really hoping Lannan could get a win tonight – gave up a few hits, couple of runs, laid down a nice bunt – that should be enough to keep you in the game. Terrible conditions there, too. Maybe the offense will wake up late in the game – again. I hate it that they are finishing their season against the dreaded fish in that hole of a stadium. It seems like the finale was actually Sunday with that awesome game here. Oh — and somebody fill me in on the tight pants on Desi thing? I am aware that I have missed something …..

- Wally - Sep 28, 2011 at 1:15 AM
Well, despite anyone's view on whether Lannan should be traded, it is pretty clear that he had a nice year. 185 innings, around 3.70 ERA. Not lucky on BABIP, either. Peripherals not quite as good, which means WAR not so hot, but that is the story of his entire career. He probably is just a 5, but one of the better 5s in the league. He may become a bit too expensive/redundant with our other starters, but I think there are many teams that would grab him.By the Maya, who was that dressed up as Maya?

Cards storming back against the Astros – only one run back now, the Braves are down 7-0 and looking utterly and completely defeated. Not one person in that dugout looks like they have any possibility of winning. I really don't like the Cardinals, but they are out-playing the Braves and deserve to go on. The Braves appear to have quit ( with our help?)

The Nats haven't quit. HAVE NOT QUIT. Now, who really should be the wildcard? You have to wonder what would have happened had Davey Johnson started out the beginning of the year managing this club instead Giggleman's Isle. Wildcard like he said when he took over? Yeah, I believe it.Just like I believe they are going to find a way to finish off these fish and the jinx starting with these two games to finish a very strong .500+.

The way he has pitched the last few months, it seems a shame that Javy may call it quits. the guy is back in almost all ways.By the way, what is the over/under on how many innings the Marlins throw him tonight? Under the theory of 'what the hey, our bullpen stinks and he isn't going to need his arm ever again'? I say 12.

That is not normal, right? I would like to shed the 'feeling bad about it part', and just go with the intense dislike? Any ideas?Worst thing about the walk off is not knowing the answer to 'how long will Javy go'.

Wally, we can feel two, opposing emotions at once. In fact, that's a sign of maturity, in some cases: to be able to hold both, and not have to be so black-and-white that you need to cancel one out for the other. That's my belief, and I'm sticking to it.

- ehay2k - Sep 28, 2011 at 1:49 AM
Well, Slaten got the first out, then the second was a rocked, ROCKED, to deep left center field, a home run anywhere but the damn Polo Grounds. Why would Davey leave him in after that? I guess because Petersen only had hit one HR this year. But I bet he has hit a lot of BP balls into the stands. Hey, Slaten would pitch great BP!! I guess we just found a good spot for him next year. But DFA him tonight just because.

Surprisingly, I really am not dissapointed by this loss. However, the offense has to improve next year for us to really be contenders. On the other hand, I believe this should do it for Slaten. He should not even be with the team during spring training. I know relievers are very inconsistent and may struggle one year but do well another year. However even in years when most relievers struggle they manage to at least have 2 or 3 good games in a stretch. I don't think I am exaggerating when I say Slaten has never had 1 good inning this whole year.
- baseballswami - Sep 28, 2011 at 1:55 AM
There have been a lot of "yesses" checked off in boxes this past month. Mr.Slaten is a definite"no". Sorry – I question the wisdom in the next to the last game, winning record on the line, one run game. The days of seeing what we have are done – nothing left to figure out here. If you don't know he is gas on the fire by now you haven't been watching. John Lannan once again the victim of no run support – JZim passed the torch along to him. That horrible stadium, that horrible field, that horrible city – what a way to finish the season. Let's get them tomorrow – Strassie wants to go home with a curly W ! — I hope the manager tries to win tomorrow.
- Anonymous8 - Sep 28, 2011 at 1:55 AM
When I saw Slaten coming into the game I started to write, "Are You Kidding Me?" Then he gets out Logan Morrison and the next batter so I deleted what I was writing.I liked the idea last week of DFA'ing the guy. Davey has 20 guys in that bullpen (some may be coaches) and I think the bullpen coach can pitch better than the LOOGY
- Anonymous8 - Sep 28, 2011 at 2:01 AM
Steve M. said… sjm, nice depth chart. Don't be surpised if Rizzo goes back to Hairston for the spot you have Lombo penciled in for. Rizzo likes his veterans on the bench. Reed Johnson could also be a big upgrade as an outfield role/bench guy.Cora, Livan, Bixler, Slaten are the only names I am fairly certain won't be back next year.LaRoche still has to prove he is healthy which could really change the dynamics of the 2012 roster. September 27, 2011 3:42 PM I get why they brought back Slaten to see if he regained his 2010 form after the injury. When it was quickly apparent he still STUNK, why not just DFA him with all the guys you have in the bullpen.What is Davey saving Burnett and Gorzo for?

- NatsLady - Sep 28, 2011 at 2:28 AM
Heard the tail end of the game. Well, if we had to lose one, this was ok, nice send off for a veteran pitcher who deserved it. No Slaten for this team. Davey, you've seen enough now, right? Might have to go back to the archive tomorrow and see these tight pants… (and the triple play).Cards just tied it up, 6-6. Um, I thought all the races were over at the end of August.

- Steady eddie - Sep 28, 2011 at 4:11 AM
DCGuy7 — Have to agree it was pretty hard to defend not using Burnett in a sudden death situation like that. Gives the rest of the team no opportunity to ovcome Slaten's screw up.Davey had never left him in for a full inning before, even against the Phils when he got the first two outs in the ninth.
- Section 222 - Sep 28, 2011 at 4:17 AM
@baseballswami — Totally with you about Slaten pitching in this game. I'm going out on a limb here I know, but I think it's pretty clear that he won't be in the bullpen next year.On the other hand, you totally drank Carp's Kool-Aid on the attendance at Nats Park. (Actually he said last night that Nats fans show up so the actual attendance is equal to the paid attenance.) They may count the actual attendance, but they announce the paid attendance. I'm pretty sure that's the way it's done in all ballparks now. At many weekday games this year, there is simply no way that the actual attendance came anywhere near the announced attendance.
- sjm308 - Sep 28, 2011 at 4:41 AM
Anon8:for the 15th time this year – Willingham and Morse play the same position!!! Do you want someone under control for at least another year that does not get hurt or do you want someone who has been on the dl for the past 4 season!!! give it a break on Willingham, great guy but he was in his final year. We got a lights out relief pitcher with a huge up side and took a gamble on a CF who has options. It might not have been the greatest trade but again, Morse does not even get a sniff if Willingham is here because Riggs played the vets (same thing with Pudge and Ramos).Willingham is a FA after this season and would have cost much more than Morse so please please please stop.
- MikeD - Sep 28, 2011 at 6:17 AM
Slaten? Really Davey?
- Will - Sep 28, 2011 at 8:07 AM
sjm308,Willingham and Morse don't play the same positions. Morse is by and large a firstbaseman these days, ever since he got too big for SS and is blocked at 3B. In fact, before this season he had played 75 innings in left (and only 18 games in 9 minor league seasons).I think the real question is would you rather have Willingham or LaRoche? Willingham made $6mil this season, LaRoche is guaranteed $16mil this season and next season. I'm sure Willingham could be convinced to sign a deal for something like 1 year/$12mil, given the injury concerns you mentioned. In the end, Willingham is essentially LaRoche- an aging, affordable, stop-gap bat, but with drastically better production from Willingham.And, please, HRod is not a lights out reliever. Right now, he's just a wild flame-thrower (see: 14 wild pitches: double what most SPs had in 4 times as many innings and 4th most in the majors, and a 6.17 BB/9: the third highest rate in the majors). He's still just a bundle of potential with very little actual results. It could all work out, like it did a few days ago, or he could always remain the awful pitcher he was from June-August.
- Anonymous - Sep 28, 2011 at 8:23 AM
awful pitcher= Slaten. Hrod was never awful during any span of months or weeks. Inconsistent-Yes. Awful-No. I dont know the actual numbers but i will bet good money that most of his wild pitches came early in the season and he has since corrected them.
- Will - Sep 28, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Wild Pitch TotalsMay: 4June: 2July: 4August: 3September: 1I'll also direct you to HRod's month of July: 13.1 IP, 12 H, 10 BB, 12 ER, 8.10 ERA, 1.65 WHIP. If that's not awful, I don't know what is.Also, in the June to August stretch I was referring to, HRod walked 32 batters, gave up 37 hits, had a 1.70 WHIP, threw 9 wild pitches, all in 40.2 innings. That's pretty awful by any measure. With that said, Slaten is most certainly worse than HRod.
- Big Cat - Sep 28, 2011 at 10:26 AM
Will…..in HRods last 10 appearances, in 9 of those he didn't walk a batter. His only appearance in that span where he walked a batter was Sept 15 against the Mets. I'd say that was finishing the season on a very high note. He is only 24 years old. He has a chance to be a very good one…..in fact, maybe lights out, as you like to say

- Gonat - Sep 28, 2011 at 11:52 AM
sjm, Morse played exclusively in Rightfield last year when he was in the outfield. Better in Leftfield.Could you imagine Willingham in LF, Werth in CF and Morse in RF? Defense would have suffered some but the increase in offense would have been tremendous.Very impressive what Willingham has done on 486 at-bats.
- UNTERP.NAT - Sep 28, 2011 at 11:54 AM

Hi Mark,… you wrote this morning, "They are 79-81 with one game left." That means today's (last) game adds up to a 161 game season. Did they cancel a game earlier and not make it up? What am I missing?Thanx for the Great Season, Nats!!
- natsfan1a - Sep 28, 2011 at 12:01 PM
Buh-bye, Unterp (waves). Me, I'll be watching until the last out this afternoon. Since there's only the one game left, 80 seems like a nice, round number to me. I'm proud of this team, and they showed me a lot this year. I can actually visualize them as a future playoff team (without squinting too much). I thank them for a marvelous ride this year.After the game is over, I'll be following postseason play. After that, I'll be looking out the window until spring. (Okay, I'll probably be watching whatever AFL and Winter Leagues games are televised. And watching MLB Network no matter what they're showing. And reading a bunch of baseball books. And maybe, you know, getting a life. Nah.)
- sjm308 - Sep 28, 2011 at 12:01 PM
Will:Who was the starting left fielder for the Nationals on opening day? Morse.Morse had never played first base until LaRoche got hurt.The fact that he did it well is just another reason you want him over Willingham. Again, Willingham is in his 30s, on the last year of his contract, and had been injured each of his last 3 years and was injured again this year. It did not look like a good trade early on but we still needed to trade him. Morse is 29 and is versatile and can actually play multiple positions. And I totally disagree about your assesment of HRod. He has a huge upside at 24 and while he is erratic, if he solves his wildness he will be a huge part of our success. Willingham is not a player that will take you to another level. HRod actually is one of the few players that can in that when he is right he is totally unhittable.You can throw all the stats you want about wild pitches and early era and whip but what he has done during the last month makes me excited and Willingham again is a nice guy who is on the downhill side of a very decent career but I would much rather have Morse. For that matter, I would rather have a healthy LaRoche over Willingham in that at least he is a plus defender. I hate comparing apples to oranges here so I will get off that track. My last point for the 16th time, If Willingham had stayed I honestly believe Morse would have been on the bench or dfa'd in that Riggs stayed with his vets and no matter how great a spring training Morse had, Willingham would have started in left with LaRoche at first and then who knows how Morse would have developed.
- natsfan1a - Sep 28, 2011 at 12:02 PM
natscan, an earlier game against the Dodgers was rained out, and the two teams were not scheduled to meet again. It was not made up because neither team was in the hunt.
- sjm308 - Sep 28, 2011 at 12:07 PM
UNTerpI kinda want to see what kind of ceremony they have for the last game at this horrendous park but I am guessing that MASN will not show much of that. Kind of thinking they will invite old players back and its neat that two huge stars for the Marlins will be wearing Nationals uniforms today. Would be neat if they had Livan throw out the first pitch to Pudge but I don't see that happening.Natslady – I will also be watching the wildcard games. MLB network did a great job of switching to all the games that mattered last night. I liked how the O's battled the Red Sox down to the last batter in the 9th. Another reason baseball is my favorite game, its never over till its over.Sec 3 – here's the deal. If we win and the Indians lose I get the hat. Any other scenerio and I lose but what a great comeback. Almost as good as the Rays.Go Nats
- Anonymous8 - Sep 28, 2011 at 12:17 PM
One of my thoughts on Rizzo is that he had Nyjer and Willingham that were both serviceable players if he was willing to use them to their strengths.Nyjer's strengths were his hitting against right-handed pitching and stealing less. The Brewers adapted to Nyjers strengths and he hasn't disappointed.Willingham who was generally over-used early in each season got a good amount of rest throughout the season and put out great offensive output including the end of the season.My thoughts on Michael Morse is that he needed some more rest and that was where we saw the decline in late season production.

UNTERP.NAT, certainly a letdown to see Slaten do his norm—blow it.Davey really seemed like he was going for 81-80 and even Zim was excited about the possibilities.Hate to say it. Yesterday was a reminder of so much of the negative of the 2011 season. Disappointing loss from a member of the bullpen after a well played game. Zim not in the game because of an injury. A head scratcher decision by a Nats manager decides the game.Now I am hoping that today's game is a great Nats finish to give us all a great send off to 2012!

Slaten vs. Burnett and Davey1) Davey "said" — doesn't care about 3ed place or .500, just wanted to beat the Mets.2) Davey is a "players' manager." Gave Slaten EVERY chance.3) Rizzo probably wants to stay just where we are in the standings. Not saying Davey deliberately blew the game or asked his players to slack off.See Kilgore's article on the standings.http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/nationals-journal/post/how-the-nationals-final-two-games-will-affect-their-draft-status-and-offseason/2011/09/27/gIQAJy7O2K_blog.html4) Field conditions were DREADFUL. Who do YOU think is the expendable pitcher on this team (twisted ankle or something)?Reminder reminder reminder: Davey does not play to win every game.P.S., MLB.tv (if you can find it in the archives) had an absolutely great video of Lannan blocking the plate after the wild pitch. He really tumbled around. I'm not a Lannan fan, but he put out some effort!

Your boss thinks, if I play this one to the limit, it could go 13 14 innings. But, if I put Slaten in, it's at least 75-25 the guys go home after 9 innings. Yeah, I'd play pretty hard for that boss next year.No, Davey didn't play to lose. He just didn't play to win. He'll be back.

Season's over, Morse is tired, Zimm's got a pulled hammy, etc., etc., Slaten's expendable and problably gone, Burnett's not, Burnett could take us to the 10th inning…Not a conspiracy, just a human being managing other human beings.

They may count the actual attendance, but they announce the paid attendance. I'm pretty sure that's the way it's done in all ballparks now.All MLB teams announce paid attendance, and have done so for many years. A long time ago, the NL announced gates, too, but they stopped sometime in the 70s IIRC.sjm, it's only right that it comes down to one game for all the marbles. I hope Davey knows what's at stake here. ; ) There's always something to play for.

Vasquez has been with them long enough to be "their guy," and he is retired after today's game, which he will not be in, so, yeah, makes total sense they would be happy to send him off with a CG win. Why wouldn't they?

Playing for the GTFO instead of the W, OTOH, doesn't seem likely to me, IMHO. FWIW. YMMV. VWP. IANAL. IITYWYBMAD

P.S., MLB.tv (if you can find it in the archives) had an absolutely great video of Lannan blocking the plate after the wild pitch. He really tumbled around. I'm not a Lannan fan, but he put out some effort! I missed that inning–wondered how LannEn got dirty. I am a fan of pointless macho gestures, so … he was trying to block the plate? Cool. Totally stupid, but cool. I like it.captcha: "antibing""Don't dig that kinda croonin', chum."

UNTERP.NAT said… Season is over. I won't be watching the last game. It really is meaningless since the Nationals are not playing for a winning season.Yeah, and probably some bum pitching today, too.FWIW, I don't understand why game #160 is so meaningful to you while #161 is meaningless. What's the difference? 81-80 vs 80-81, big deal — either way:(a) we're out of the playoffs(b) we're at least game games improved in each of the last two seasons, and (c) we're in 3rd place. The result of #160 didn't change any of those things.

The result of #160 didn't change any of those things. And it's just a baseball game, anyway. They are all just baseball games.Still.Some people are goal-oriented, and not so much into process. "Won more than you lost" is a kind of a mark to shoot for, and they did miss it. I'm disappointed. I'll be watching (@ Duffy's FWIW), but I'm disappointed.captcha: "vionat"

In January 2006, I celebrated 17 years of sobriety and I am extraordinarily grateful and still very much awed by this phenomenon. In fact, I hope I never lose that awe. The first ten years of my sobriety were in Portsmouth, NH. I had one sponsor and one Home Group and I credit both for the wonderful foundation I have today. They stressed the 12 steps, the 12 traditions, and the 12 concepts. They believed in service work, sponsorship, commitment, and responsibility. I spoke for the first time from the podium when I was 90 days sober and I completed the 12 steps in my first year of recovery. I served at the group level, district level and area assembly. All of this I credit to a strong sponsor and a wonderful home group.
Then in November, 1998, I relocated to South Carolina for a job. I found it extremely difficult to find a sponsor in SC. In fact, since 1998, I have had 7 sponsors. Six in SC and one in Florida. In SC, it was very difficult to find a woman who had more sobriety than I did and who sponsored. I found a woman's group but almost all of the woman had less sobriety than me. Inevitably, what happened was that the sponsor would stop returning my phone calls and that was how I discovered she no longer had time to sponsor me. One sponsor with 20 years was diagnosed with bi-polar and stopped coming to AA. Another began a relationship with one of my sponsees. There was such a lack of sponsorship that I was sponsoring 10 woman at any given time. I was even so desperate that I found a long distance sponsor. When I moved to Florida, I heard that the AA here was just like the AA up north so I had high hopes.
I found a woman's group and even found a woman with more sobriety than myself. She has a huge network of sponsees and grand sponsees. I asked her to take me through the steps again. She did. She had a very specific way of doing the steps but I was so grateful to have what I thought was a good sponsor that I didn't quibble over her methods. In January, she asked me if I would like to attend a Big Book Study that she was putting together. I said absolutely. I had conducted a number of Big Book Studies in SC and absolutely love them, especially if they are small. In fact, I bring a Big Book Meeting to a women's treatment facility. So I gathered up all my stuff and I was ready to go. Until I discovered that my sponsor wanted to run the Big Book Study a certain way. We don't actually discuss the BB. We just read it and answer one or two of the questions in the pamphlet. She follows the unofficial guide through the BB by Dr. Paul O., except, she substituted Scott L.'s version of the fourth step for Dr. Paul's version. I was doing okay with this until we got to the point in Scott L.'s version where he says that the Big Book tells us that the cause of the resentment should be only 19 words. I questioned this and was told that the example in the BB showed no cause longer than 19 words therefore we should not use more than 19 words. I indicated that I thought this was a huge assumption to suggest that Bill had used examples with less than 19 words so we should only use 19 words. My sponsor and her sponsees took offense to this by saying that they had always done it this way and it worked. I suggested that this was one way of doing it. Later in the same group, a woman asked me if I would stay after the group and discuss emotional sobriety with her. When I said I would, my sponsor said you can only discuss your perception of emotional sobriety, there is no absolute definition of it. I agreed and told the woman that Bill W. had actually spoken about it and I could give her a copy of it. My sponsor said then it will be her perception of emotional sobriety.
The day after this debacle, my sponsor called to say that in essence by disagreeing with her that I was disagreeing with her program. When I tried to explain to her that I was only disagreeing with the concept of 19 words and I wanted the people at the Big Book Study to know that this was only one way of doing it and it wasn't the only way, she said I was minimizing her feelings. She said that it was her way of doing it and if I didn't want to do it her way then maybe I needed to rethink my sponsorship. Now, unfortunately, I think she is right. I am rethinking my sponsorship because I don't want to be sponsored by someone who needs to be right "about 19 words."
I am really thinking that I am expecting too much from sponsors who have more sobriety than myself. But I really thought that by 20 years of sobriety, the ego would not be so prominant and peace and serenity would be a way of life. Someone please help me not to give up on sponsorship.

Used to describe an event or act that a person ends up on the losing end but gives they're all anyway and takes it anyway. Can be used with an emphasis on sports but also with everyday events.
