Weather could possibly play a role here: Yahoo! Weather says 'A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible' during the day, and  'slight chance of a shower through the evening.'

Slowes and Jageler last night reminisced at some length about a rain-affected (to put it mildly) series the Nats played at PNC in April of last year.

He was traded to the Mariners for a package that included Adam Jones.

Moore in LF?  The board quiets down for a day.  Davey could have won everyone over though by swapping Espy/Lombo.

and Chris Tillman, Cam Mickolio, and George Sherrill, I think.

Tejada was Albers, Troy Patton, Luke Scott, and I think Andino?

Hammonds would know.

Outfield defense will be so bad today.  No arm in right field, a first baseman in left field, and a 19 year old with 2 years of experience in the outfield playing CF.

So are you saying Det will have to throw a no-hitter with no balls reaching the outfield?

No Ankiel?

The one guy whose got the hot bat...yeah lets sit him.

Oh and lets forget about Lombardozzi. Lets keep playing that crapbum Espinosa.

This is how the line up should look.

Desmond
Harper
Zimmerman
LaRoche
Lombardozzi
Moore
Ankiel
Ramos

That would be my line up for tonight.

I thought Andino was an ex-Marlin.  Tejada was Albers/Patton/Scott and then Michael Costanzo and Dennis Sarfate.

Andino traded to O's from Fish for the infamous Hayden Penn
