"It's been a long year for us. Everything [goes] right for them every time they play us. We made some errors; we're not able to bring guys home from third with less than two out; our bullpen's not doing the job. It's just a combination of everything."

Fish Curse!
Marlins 5, Nationals 3: What a mess. It's the bullpen, again. And a lack of timely hitting. And, it's the Marlins.
According to sources with no knowledge of the situation, the Nationals just stranded another runner on base.
Hey, nice debut for Sean "Burn Baby Burn" Burnett and his crooked cap! He'll fit right in around here - blows the lead to the first batter he faced as a National in the 7th; Julian Tavarez and Mike MacDougal team up to blow the game in the 8th.
Another wasted effort: Solid start for Jordan Zimmermann; plus 2 hits and an RBI. But he needed to go nine today to win this one.
Silver lining: Just one E for Ryan Zimmerman!
