The Curse Of Bobby Kennedy Strikes Again
The Nats drop another one at RFK.
The only difference last night was that instead of blowing a lead in the late innings, they managed to claw their way back from an early three run deficit, tie it up and then lose it in late innings.
And it's the same damn thing as always - extremely erratic pitching and the inability to capitalize on hits. If I had a dollar for every man the Nats have managed to strand on base this season, I'd be rich as hell.
And to make it worse, the loss was to the Marlins, a team that seems to be made up largely of rooks and Crash Davis types - minor league career guys getting a quick trip to the Show. Criminy.
"Frank!........Fraaaaaank, ah, Rahbinsaahn!
You caaaahn't win in, ah, my yaaaahd! Get ouuuutah!
UPDATE: The Maximum Leader brings word of the sale of the Nats to the Lerner Group, who have plans for some long-term exorcism. Vade retro, Bobby!
