"We've played the Marlins in some great ballgames - they've got us, we've got them. But lately, they've got the best of us. They're playing good baseball. They really are. They're playing good, they're pitching good."

Marlins put Nationals to bed yet again.

Marlins 5, Nationals 0:  Following a two hour rain delay, a snoozefest at Nationals Park.

Livo can't stop the bleeding, losing streak at 5. Wake me up in 2011.

Meanwhile...

Willingham's knee is messed up: cartilage damage, possibly a meniscus tear, reports Mark Zuckerman.

Mike Rizzo's got a lot of work to do in order to make this bunch a competitive major league ballclub... Really pathetic work out of this team the last 6 days. Starting rotation has stunk it up. Hitting has been awful and the defense has always been an adventure. Jesus these guys are hard to watch. I'm not sure they could beat a good AAA team on nights when Stephen Strasburg or Livan don't pitch.

Ahhh ... Pay no attention to that man behind the 20-15 curtain! All has returned to normal in the world. Nats can't hit, field, or pitch and now, once again, are the sole property of the Marlins.
