They really should have moved the game time up further. A noon start would be looking pretty good right about now.

Chip Caray started a rumor that MLB asked to move it up to 1 PM and TBS said no. That quickly turned out to be wrong, because he is Chip Caray.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Let's just get a bunch of buses and take both teams and 42,000 people up to Miller Park this evening.

Only if Zambrano pitches.

Fast fact: Batters at Miller Park OPS .495 whenever Jake Arrieta is throwing 60 feet, 6 inches away.

Only if Zambrano pitches.

So MLB and/or TBS fucked this up pretty good and have pretty much handed Dusty an opportunity to start Strasburg on normal rest for free. There was enough time to play two games today if they'd moved the start time up to a reasonable time instead of a single hour. Let's hope the Cubs make it not matter.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Dusty says Strasburg is a little under the weather, like much of his roster. Dusty says he has "full confidence in Tanner."

In Dusty we Trusty.

Dusty made it not matter.

Is there any conceivable reason, any good reason why Dusty would make this decision? Nationals fans have to be losing their shit over this.
M'lady.

It's done.  If the Cubs miss the postseason I will literally chop off, cook and eat my own penis.

Lets talk about it here.  The postseason, I mean, not my penis.  If you want to talk about my penis, PM me.

No, you started it. Is there any more to be known other than that your foreskin is not yet one of G-d's footstools?

I honestly don't think this is Dusty's call. I think Stras doesn't want to do it for whatever reason and the Nats are cooking up excuses to protect him from a Matt Harvey-esque shitstorm from fans and media. Hence the conflicting explanations for why he's unavailable

If that's the case I hope someone smashes Stephen's boombox.

But how does he get fired up for the game without dropping some Chainsmokers, bro?!
