June 8th is Strasmas, though, the day for Strasburg to strike out a ton of dudes in honor of 6/8/2010's debut 14K in 7 IP.

Does Strasburg go every fifth day even if an off-day follows, or do they hold him back? Looks like he'll start in Toronto on Wednesday. I'd go for sure, except, wouldn't you know it, it's an afternoon game.

Steve McCatty says "Strikeouts are bullshit." His staff's performance seems to indicate otherwise.

Strasburg now at .385/.448/.654 in 26 at bats, maybe after he reaches his inning limit for the year they should use him as a pinch hitter?

Nationals starters have a combined 1.01 ERA in the last 6 games! Relievers at 3.46 during the same stretch which certainly isn't bad but I wish Johnson would let pitchers throw complete games more often, I get nervous once the bullpen warms up.

I did not expect to suddenly find myself watching all these baseball games when I returned to DC but it's pretty compelling watching these dudes win all the time. And Ross Detwiler is cuet

They should hire Bill Murray to participate as FDR for the playoffs.
We're at the point where the Nats will def sell out their LDS games, right? Otherwise I'd be tempted to hitch a ride down (pref while on my prescrip drugs).

They're selling standing-only tickets so I imagine they are selling out. Which only goes to show how much a town only cares about a winner.
