Well this sucks.  Nelson Cruz is going to be on the DL for the rest of our season.  But can I drop him and add a productive player? Nooooooooo.  Cruz is on the stupid Can't Cut list.  Fuck that stupid list.  Fuck it in the ear.

Oh man, I have been in a long fuck*ng war with the fuck*ng can't cut list.

FUCK YOU CAN'T CUT LIST! FUCK YOU IN THE EAR WITH AN EAR-SHAPED fuck*ng DEVICE!

PLAYOFFS?!

You're talking PLAYOFFS?

[Carlos del Vaca]

I said I wasn't going to complain about this, but I will anyway. Tonight was supposed to be the Return of Strasburg, and I have tickets for it, so it should be hell of exciting. But it's been raining all freakin' day here, and Intellicast is projecting 100% chance of rain on an hourly basis all night. The Nats, however, have said they won't make a decision right up until game time. I understand that on some level--it's late in the season and rainouts are increasingly difficult to make up, and it would screw up some other things.

But still. Do I want to haul ass into town to hang out in the rain for a while, then find out the game's being postponed?

Complicating matters: today was the first day of school here, so it would be nice to be home with the kiddos to find out how their days went. That's probably the clincher, there.

[KeithHernandez]

Woo woo, your kids will start school, what, 11, 12 times.  Strasburg is probably only going to get one more severe injury comeback before his career is done.

[miles]

Keith makes a compelling case. And I'm not a good example because I was a miserable little fuck, but I hated getting drilled about my first day back at school (or any day for that matter). And getting drilled to me was answering questions like "Hey son! How was your first day back? Do you like your teacher? Make any new friends?" It's not like I would be a dick right back, but I was not happy answering those completely reasonable questions. Jesus. My poor, poor parents. I owe them like so much money for pain and suffering. Again, that was me. A maladjusted self-loathing asshole. I'm sure your kids love it. (For the record, I love my parents, and look forward to discussing work and such with them when I visit home. I've overcome a few things. This was a long time ago).

My friend had tickets to Randy Johnson's perfect game but didn't go. Still kicking himself. And sure, the unused ticket may have greater monetary value if that happens, but nothing compared to the experience of watching a no-hitter or perfect game.

[pmcd9]

Yeah man, Keith is right, you can catch up with the kids tomorrow.

Only 5 innings?  They hardly ever go all the way anymore.

[Carlos del Vaca]

Yeah, they got the game in somehow. The Strasburg portion of the game was awesome; the rest pretty well sucked. Meh, I'm not too upset about it.

I am going tonight, so this will be the night of long rain delays instead.

[littlefallsmets]

Do people hold up "The Titanic Hit A Strausburg" signs at games?

I don't think anyone could argue Too Soon.

[Carlos del Vaca]

OK, so TONIGHT's game may be postponed. The Twitter is saying it's been called already, but the Nats' web site doesn't say shit.

And of course this announcement comes just as the rain has stopped.

[Carlos del Vaca]

Oooh, it gets better.  Apparently the Nats and Dodgers agreed to call the game earlier this afternoon, and the Dodgers actually left the ballpark. But then someone from MLB got on the phone and said they really need to try to get the game in (for reasons unknown at this point). Apparently the Dodgers called some people and persuaded the players to come back to the stadium.

The Nats' web site still says the game is on, but nothing with a tone of "Despite what you may have heard, tonight's game is actually being played," it's just that the earlier previews and stuff never went away.  Once again, round about 5 PM I'm going to have to decide if I'm going into the city or not.
