Nobody else has started this yet, figured I might as well. Wish I could find somewhere to cut & paste the lineup.

I'll take a 7 pitch first inning from the new guy, by the way.  I'm definitely in favor of that.

Shame I can't watch this game today.  Damn Fox blackout.

Hmmm...kinda quiet in here.  I can't be the only one trapped inside studying for an exam, can I?

Where are you?  I have the game on Fox right now and it comes thru Comcast cable too.  I think MLB's contract may give exclusive rights to Fox for this.  Try again.  It's regular Fox, not FoxSports.

I'm in Chicago.  I get to watch the CUBS.  Now that's an exciting team.

Didn't the Dodgers get the memo?  We have our starting catcher back now.  You don't steal on Brian Schneider.

Nice inning, no damage.

I wonder if a Chicago sports bar or restaurant has multiple feeds from Fox.  The Hooters in Rockville MD had several games on at the same time for March Madness.  They must have 20 TVs in that place.  The manager told me they air ALL Nationals games.  I didn't ask if he had a phone plug-in for a laptop.  You should be able to get the game on Internet with a streaming video with a MLB subsrciption, for all but Chicago teams.

That's a good question.  Byrd gets walks and hits better.  I wonder if he's hurt.  Sean Hill is pitching his 1st MLB game in 2 years.  Nats are wearing their red shirts,l which kinda look like pajama tops.  Dodgers look like the old Senators uniforms.  So how many Cubs fans became bandwagon White Sox fans last year?  Are there fans of both teams?  
Hill is keeping the runner on 1st close to the bag with pickoff tries.

yea they are annoying me too.

Hill is doing respectable...gave up a run, but one run in 3 innings, I'll take it. As long as he can prevent any big innings and keep the Nats in it. They need to get their offense going though...

Erica's Nats, you have a new avatar.  I liked the pink one.  I'm not a Screech fan because using a bird is too close to using an Oriole.  They ought to have Bozo the Clown.  Willard Scott went to American U in DC and was Bozo on some kid show and did funny tv commercials as the very first Ronald McDonald.  I don't think any subsequent Ronalds were the same.  Scott lives in the sticks of VA.  Fox announcers gushing over Sori.  Nats have Curly W caps but Frank has a DC cap.  Schneider left on.  After 3 innings:
Dodgers 1
Nationals 0

How can you get them in Chicago?  Is it AM?  I muted the TV guys last night and played the radio guys, who I think have someone in the clubhouse who gives them details the TV guys may miss.  Fox said Guillen was put on DL before the game.  But Sportsline lists him as on the bench - wonder who they brought up.

Hill is pitching a lot better today than he did two years ago. You got to happy with the way the our minor league pitchers have stepped in this season and filled in.

They brought up Mike Vento from New Orleans.
Hill is looking good out there.  Hopefully we can get some hits off of Derek Lowe.  He's not as great as we are making him seem.

You can't ask much more from Hill today.. 6 IP  1 ER against the highest scoring team in the National League.

My question is, why hasnt Bill Bray been called up? He's owning AAA and theyre just letting him sit there.

Yeah, we need Byrd in RF and batting second. This clayton at the 2 spot is bugging me to no end.
