DBacks just traded Kelly Johnson for Aaron Hill. I doubt they'll have Hill available for tonight's game.

What the H? Johnson is a valuable player.

#Nats #Dbacks game WILL be played but probably slight delay, no more than 20 minutes.

METRORAIL INFO: Per WMATA.com and Dr. Gridlock's blog, all trains are restricted to 15 mph until further notice while they inspect all the tracks throughout the entire system. Allow extra time if you plan to take the subway to the game tonight.

That's why I'm sitting this one out (Mystics too - this one's still on as well) - took me over an hour to get home - I left my office at 15.20 and barely managed to shoe-horn myself onto a Yellow line train at Archives - I can only imagine what it'd be like when the real rush hour begins. Metro site still says the trains will continue to be delayed several hours.

First pitch delayed by 20min (per the radio broadcast just now - match will start at 19.25)...meantime I'll just take it easy and let Slowes and Jageler be my guides to the goings-on.

Various tweets that it will be about 2 hour delay but nothing confirmed.

All the talk of CF gate is weird, I saw no damage to it.

Lerner already has his lawyers drawing up the paperwork for the insurance claim for lost revenue based on the late opening.

They keep mentioning that one because it normally opens an hour before the other ones. But if they open any of the gates before they thoroughly inspect the ballpark, they risk their insurance carrier denying coverage if it turns out something was damaged that they failed to catch.

John and Ray said 7:25 start.

nats just posted that as well to their FB page. gates open at 6:45. Tonight sounds like it will be one of those "sit wherever you want to sit" nights.

There are those two towering parking garages on either side... maybe they didn't want folks standing under bolted-on slabs of 'crete.

Yeah, my office is the same vintage as the Nats cheap concrete parking garages. I secretly hoped they would have fallen down today.

I think he's going to get two starts and if he goes a bit above 160, then so be it. Boz in his chat the other day talked that Davey wanted to get him to 162 so he'd qualify for his stats which will be in the top 10 in a few instances.

LOL I saw that, but I didn't think it was THAT bad!

zimmerman is definitely a #1 starter

What a treat that was. Why did we get to hear that one? We never hear the National Anthem.
