so, here we go again, the Nats go into the 9th ahead 8-5, here comes Rodriquez (out come the cuss words), now the 8th inning closer got the side out in 5 freaking pitches and Johnson takes him out, WTF is his arm tired after 5 freaking pitches ?

So Rodriquez, gets the first guy to pop out, blood pressure lowers a bit, cuss words are at a minimum. then my boy precedes to walk the next 3 FREAKING batters, and the pitches aren't even close,over the catchers head(at least 3) 5 feet in front of the plate. Now even the announcers can't take it, they say Johnson is trying to give the kid some faith inhimself, but what about the 25 other players who just worked their butt offs for 3 hours to get this lead.

Some how Johnson sees the light and for the first time pulls Rodriquez. how the reliever Bernet faces bases loaded, one out and on the third pitch it's a come backer and double play game over.

anyone want a 'closer'
