(Fukudome! Ryan Zimmerman couldn't deliver another walk-off, flying out to Kosuke Fukudome to end the game.)
"Anytime Zim comes up to the plate in a situation like that, you always think he's going to get a hit."
(Ian Desmond, via Washington Post, 8/25/2010)"I thought it had a shot to get over Fukudome's head. It was a good at-bat against a tough pitcher."
