Dutch!

Congrats to Dutch Zimmerman on his first major league home run, a game-tying shot in the 9th inning off Billy Wagner.

That's definitely one to tell the grandkids about!

  • Nats Win! Nats Win! Five runs in extra innings! Did we ever score that many in an inning last year? :P

    • Billy Wagner in the post-game interview just now gave the usual losing pitcher drivel, then said, "I know Zimmerman's supposed to be a high ball hitter but...that was impressive!"

      Rookie Zimm = HR #1

      Fireballer Wagner = Blown save #1

      Gotta love that!

    • king: Wasn't the blown call before Wagner entered the game? Or are you referring to something else?

    • Maybe the baseball gods are shaking things up all over: Athletics knock Jaret Wright, Mike Myers (party on, Garth!), and Kyle Farnsworth all over the park to leap ahead of Los Yankees 9-4 in the 8th inning.

      Big money? Big names? Big deal!

    • Would that be Dutch's first Majority Whip award?

      Crushing in Flushing:
      Nats win, on strength of three long
      RFK fly-outs

    • I love that!

      Maybe we have a new running feature? ;)

    • I'll keep posting 'em so long as I can come up with them :) I had kicked around the idea of doing a blog just devoted to them, but eh; I've got enough other stuff to do.

      That said, somebody's going to have to pick up the slack for me next week; I'm in Cali. Expect a Dodgers/Giants/Padres/As haiku flurry when I return.
