"We try. We try to [get] people out 1-2-3 in the first inning. But it's not happening right now."
(Livan Hernandez, via Nats Insider, 7/11/2010)"...It should leave a sour taste. When you lose, it should be a sour taste. And it is. But the upside is...[blah something blah blah]"

First Half Ends on a Sour Note
Giants 6, Nationals 2: Oh, what could have been, yet again. A Sunday of missed opportunities (13 LOB, 6th & 7th innings end with bases loaded).
And Livan Hernandez stunk: maybe his mind was on playing some All-Star Break racquetball at the old folks home down in Miami?
Livosucktion set 'em up to fail (5.0 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 4 K) and the Nats bats took care of the rest against Bleeping Madison Bumgarner and the SF bullpen.
39-50. 13.5 out of first in the NL East. 10.5 back in the Wild Card. But progress. Right?
