Nats rally for 14-6 win, take series from Giants

When the Levee Breaks

This after building a 6-2 lead in the sixth inning. Twelve straight runs scored, eleven of them against the previously vaunted, now seemingly exhausted bullpen.

We actually had visions of beating a plus .500 team dancing in our heads. Something this team has seemingly not accomplished since the Carter Administration.

Now this team once again appears to be a team that will struggle to stay above .500 for the season. I know, let's blame Timmy, he won't mind, he likes it.

Sheesh, this team is ridiculous right now and bordering on free-falling.

San Francisco Giants vs. Washington Nationals - Recap - August 24, 2014 - ESPN:

SKIPPING LINCECUM?
Bochy said he will consult with pitching coach Dave Righetti before deciding whether to skip struggling starter Tim Lincecum's next start, tentatively scheduled for Thursday.
The two-time Cy Young winner has failed to pitch through the fifth inning in four of his last six starts, going 1/3 with a 9.49 ERA in that stretch.
"We're at a point now where you have to do what you can to win every game," Bochy said. "When you are talking about that game it's who gives us our best chance to win. That is call-up time, too."

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, [X2]When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay. 

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, [X2]Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home, Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well. 

Don't it make you feel bad When you're tryin' to find your way home, You don't know which way to go? If you're goin' down South They go no work to do, If you don't know about Chicago. 

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move. 

All last night sat on the levee and moaned, [X2]Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home. Going, going to Chicago... Going to Chicago... Sorry but I can't take you... Going down... going down now... going down....
