Here is the lineup (courtesy of Nationals Journal) that the Nationals used yesterday in beating the hated, cowardly, subsidized Orioles:

Bernadina – 8
Guzman – 2
Dukes – 9
Boone – 3
Casto – 5
Pena – 7
Harris – 4
Nieves – 2
Bergmann – 1

That is pretty far from a murderous row isn’t it? Yet, despite such an uninspiring lineup, the Nats found a way to win. Ronnie Belliard (Video — someone get this on youtube or Redlasso!) hit a two-run shot in the 12th to walkoff with the win this series and tie the season series. I’m pretty sure the Nats lead the all-time series too, despite the fact that they have to subsidize the Orioles because Peter Angelo$ is a coward.

Oh to have been there.
