Nats (Marlins) August 6, 2009

These pics were taken at the Nats - Marlins August 6, 2009, game at the Park. The Marlins had been the Nats' nemesis (who hadn't?) prior to this series but the Nats swept the three game series winning this game 12-8.

This is a pic of Hanley Ramirez who is currently leading the league in hitting (.344 as of Aug 6; .362 as of Aug 30).
Another.
A pic of Nyjer Morgan laying down a bunt. He has sparked the Nats to a respectable .500 record since his arrival in July with both his speed, hitting, and defense (what else is there?)
A pic of Ronnie Belliard who, along with Willie Harris, is a steady bench utility duo.
Josh "The Hammer" Willingham.
Nick Johnson in strange colors having been traded to the Marlins by the Nats in late July.
Relief pitching from Logan Kensing.
Adam "The Hoss" Dunn strokes a hit.
Ryan Zimmerman beats the ball and slides home safely between the legs of the Marlins' catcher, J. Baker.
Nyjer Morgan shows his defense with a deep CF catch.
More relief pitching - Ron Villone.
Even more relief pitching - Jason Bergmann.
Nyjer Morgan making a throw from deep center.
Still busy, Nyjer Morgan makes a catch in CF (feet off the ground.)
Just brought up from AAA Syracuse, Jorge Padilla pinch hits and pops up for RP Bergmann.
Willie Harris safely slides home after Elijah Dukes single (avoiding Dukes' bat.)
RP Jorge Sosa finishes the 8th and 9th innings and gains the win.
Pitching Coach Steve McCatty and Manager Jim Riggleman watch from the dugout.
Along with fireworks the symbol of a win from Screech.
Friends.
