Rich started a thread which he said he had been dying to make which had potential playoff rosters for the Nats. I misunderstood and thought he wanted to start a game day thread, and I told Gimmy that. He said "Great! I get a day off..." so I don't want to be like Davey Johnson and tell Gimmy to cancel his breakfast plans because I goofed.

Anyway, I'll post the lineups in an hour or so, but if Gimmy starts a new legit thread, I understand.

Happy 4th, eddie. Here's the lineups.

San Francisco
Blanco CF
Burriss 2B
Cabrera LF
Posey C
Sandoval 3B
Belt 1B
Schierholtz RF
Crawford SS
Bumgarner P

Washington

Moore 1B
DeRosa RF

Love the early start time. I can watch the whole game without missing any festivities!

I was about to post them, but thank you for saving me the trouble!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYBODY!!!

LETS GO NL LEADING FIRST PLACE NATS!!! AND ALL-STARS!

Morning Natstown Citizens,

Great job eddie and steve! I like the straight forward presentation by both of you. It provides all of the game info without the need for research, but still delivers the individual color of the event.

Hence, I'll leave both of you with a brief message;"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." General George Patton Jr. [quote/unquote]

Seemed appropiate on such an occasion as our Independance Day!

GO NATS !!!

I think Bumardner is going to regret hitting Danny in the shin. Was his mother (or grandmother) a piano player for the Greaseman?

ZIMMERMAN GETS REVENGE!!!!

There aren't that many SF fans in the crowd, but that "Let's go, Giants! " chant is SOOO annoying!

If Jackson could over come his first inning nerves, and manage to limit opposing teams offensive output, he becomes a
tough customer as the game goes into deeper innings.

But his first innings are down right scary.....

GO NATS, GO JACKSON!

C'mon Beast, knock them home! But a walk is good, too...

It's up to you, Desi!

LUCY! I'VE DRIVEN TWO RUNNERS HOME!!!

Brand new game.

No Refunds!!

Hey Eddie,

How impressive was that?!!! NATS BATS GETTING IT DONE!!!

GO NATS!

I see Kristina is finally dressing less conservatively...

If EJax HAS to give up another hit to Sandoval, I'm glad it's only a single with nobody on base.

WOW!!! FIREWORKS FOLKS!!!

EXPLOSIONS ON THE 4TH OF JULY! NATS BATS, BABAAAAAY!

PRETTY COOL, HUH!

WOWSER!!!! GO NATS!!!!!!!!!! Go Zim!!!
