This is getting pretty funny. If it's not a coincidence, what is it?
It is the curse of Brain Schneider. His vengeful ghost of offense has cursed us for not letting him catch in the new stadium. As a pitcher from last year, Lannan is particularly vulnerable to the evil spirits and thereby more effected. The curse cannot be lifted until Brian Schneider catches a game and hits a home run at least three separate times in Nationals Park! I'm telling you we're doomed forever. Stupid curse.
