Home opener!!
I don't expect much discussion since a lot of you are probably AT the game. I'm so jealous
Ramon Ortiz (0-1, 7.56)
Ortiz (9-11, 5.36 ERA in 2005) will face the Mets for the fourth time in time in his career. The Nationals are hoping that Ortiz, who is playing for his third team in three years, will be the quality pitcher that he was with the Angels back in 2002 when he won 15 games and had a 3.77 ERA.
