I think it's bullcrap that the Nationals aren't in DC for Memorial Day

[houston-nat]

So, Tanner Roark returns to the rotation, eh?

[RobDibblesGhost]

I think it's bullcrap that the Nationals aren't in DC for Memorial Day

I concur, but they do get July 4 (seems to be a tradition now) and Labor Day. I don't know if it's a hard and fast rule, but the O's are generally on the road when the Nats are at home so I understand if they can't have every single holiday at home.

19-5 since A.J. Cole's debut and Dan Uggla's homer

The Nationals should be at home for Memorial Day and July 4th every season.

[PowerBoater69]

Labor Day does seem more filling for Baltimore.

[skippy1999]

Nice GDT RDG I feel like I should hire you or Nattilyattired for when I start my next one

[skippy1999]

Aw man I just noticed the start time, was gonna listen to Charlie and Dave at the gym, bummer

[mimontero88]

The Nationals should be at home for Memorial Day and July 4th every season.

Agreed.  Memorial Day celebrates the veterans who fought for our freedom but couldn't come home to enjoy it with us.  The nation's capital should have a home game on a day like that, no question.

[mimontero88]

Sounds like Roark will be on a "soft" 70-pitch limit today.  He may be allowed to go a bit over if Matt Williams feels he is showing no signs of fatigue but he probably won't be allowed to go too far over that.

Oreos can have Francis Scott Key Day.

Of course MASN goes black just as the game starts

[BigMeech]

19-5 since A.J. Cole's debut and Dan Uggla's homer

Truly saved our season.

Span

[BigMeech]

And it returns as soon as SPAN hits a home run.

[sportsfan882]

third rate bullcrap network. Of course the feed is fine until right the moment the game starts

[mitlen]

lol masn

Really.    I have no picture on MASN or WUSA9.

[skippy1999]

Loss of picture aside, nice start

[thepointe01]

Masn caused us to miss a span homer?!?! Those don't happen often

[sportsfan882]

SPAN!!!!

[¡Vamos Ramos!]

If a HR is hit and no ones there to see it, is it a HR at all.

Maybe Peter is pissed 'cause he knows we won the lawsuit.

Way to go MASN
