What a boost that would have been. As I said yesterday, though, at least we proved we could play with, and beat the almighty Cubs. I still don't like to see Madson in there in the 8th with the game on the line, but Durbin seemed to be back to his old self. Great win, and I look forward to Don Sutton and the Nats!

The thing that is crazy is that with any other manager,we have a chance to win the last game against the mets. And at least three of four against ,maybe a sweep if the manager wasn't a idiot. And the thing that is unbelievable is to lose the mets game and the first two in chicago and split is great. Christopher.

Maybe we will see Stairs instead of Burrell against the righty Tim Redding on Monday?Manuel always plays the hot hand so I don't see him taking Werth out of the lineup anytime soon. Maybe for a day off but he would probably still be available to pinch hit/run. Burrell could certainly use a day off soon.
