Bottom 2
Willingham hits a solid double to left-center, the first hit off Chico. But he bounces back to strike out Luis Gonzalez looking (Gonzalez didn't like the call) and Castillo to bounce to third, with Willingham holding at second. Miller then walked -- something Chico wants to cut down on.
And wouldn't you know it, Andino then hits a pop fly -- directly over Johnson's head at first. Does this sound familiar? Why, yes, it's the same play Nick busted his leg on all those months ago. He went after the ball aggressively, with Dukes closing from right field and Lopez coming from second. Dukes called them off just as he slightly collided with Lopez, and Johnson ducked out of the way.
Gotcha holding your breath yet?

Now if Nick gets a hit then slides he will have had the rehab "cycle".

Here's an idea, maybe Charlie and Dave could type in a call or two...

Clean inning for Mock. We will surely win the championship now.
OK. Hyperbole done for today.

You may jest positively, but I just called the Nats ticket office asking when I could put my playoff ticket deposit down.

Johnson hit by pitch and Gonsalez arguing a call already? In an EXHIBITION game? Hmph. Great sportsmanship.
