Had no idea today was a 1:05.

I was prepping some pix to take this one....guess I didn't get started early enough?
is 8:50 am a record for GDT start time?

I like our chances today

Stras is 5-0 in day games against guys that a long time ago were really good, and sucked last year but are doing fairly well the current year. Don't research it, that stat is legit. You just have to go back to like middle school to get all the data points.

We need to score 6 in the first off of Haren and knock him out...just to make him feel at home...

@capitalweather Still thinking showers and now maybe thundershowers poss today, esp ~11am-2pm. May disrupt #Nats game

Dodgers lineup is out:
1. Dee Gordon (L) 2B
2. Carl Crawford (L) LF
3. Hanley Ramirez (R) SS
4. Adrian Gonzalez (L) 1B
5. Yasiel Puig (R) RF
6. Andre Ethier (L) CF
7. Juan Uribe (R) 3B
8. Miguel Olivo (R) C
9. Dan Haren (R) P

he had his worst start last time out, 3ER in 6.7 IP.  Hopefully that's the start of a downward trend....

Someone hit and ran Mike Matt Williams this morning on the way to the Park.

Who is that...one of the Dodgers?

[Slateman]

Someone hit and ran Mike Williams this morning on the way to the Park.

WRONG.

Matt Williams foiled a terrorist plot to use a vehicle to mass murder thousands of innocent bystanders in DC today.

He's the hero the city needs.

Former tackle.  Not very good.

And just like that, the lineup looks a lot better.

Rainin' in the E. Loudoun/Dulles area.

I'm kind of glad that Span is leading off.  If you just took that line up, dropped him to 8th or 9th, and moved everyone up one, I'd be drooling and that is tough to explain in a meeting.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I'm thinking it probably won't be (based on the latest NOAA radar)

Had no idea today was a 1:05.

Time for the offense to take off:

[sportsfan882]

heavy ass rain about to come through D.C.

Maybe a rain delay.

Delay for start of #Nats game pretty much inevitable.[/.quote]

[Tokeydog]

Heavy rain and thunder in Frederick.  This system is going right for DC.

[pazzo83]

Hopefully it passes by 1-ish.  Maybe a 30-40min delay then?

New4 saying several hours possible.

Back end is moving through Hagerstown area at the moment.

Pretty ridiculous these past couple of days, bright and sunny here in NYC and around 70 with rain for y'all today, nice and clear here the other night and torrential rain for y'all.

[¡Vamos Ramos!]

Love me some Wilson Ramos
