Losing 101

(AP Photo/Luis M. Alvarez. John Lannan tags out Javier Vazquez in the fourth. Last night Lannan was really good, but Vazquez was much better.)

"I feel terrible that John pitched as good as he did and couldn't get a win."
(Jim Riggleman, via Washington Post, 9/26/2009)

Once again, Lannan deserved better.

Braves 4, Nats 1: Blame it on defense, lights, etc., but Nats never stood a chance against Javier Vazquez.

Hey, we used the same post headline in 2008!

Meanwhile...

• Nats lower season ticket prices for 3,000 seats, reduce # of premium seats.

• Strasburg's first Instructional League start set for Oct. 5.

• Boz on Dunn and Zim.
