Well played Ed.

[OldChelsea]

For those going tonight: Capital Weather Gang's NatCast has 'After a hot day, there's a 20-30% chance storms cool things off - prompting a delay in the process. Otherwise, it's very warm with temps only slowly falling from around 90 into the upper 80s'; 91 degrees at first pitch, 88 by the ninth inning.

We need to catch the '05 teams record and what better night to start than this evening.

[Kevrock]

Well played Ed.

[Evolution33]

The Nationals are 25-22 in games Brian Bixler has appeared in, and 2-0 since his recall.

[Tyler Durden]

Livo has had a bunch of bad starts recently.  I think we hit Jurrjens pretty hard last time out so maybe it will even out.

Hey, you can't misuse that word, your thread title was the first time I had ever heard it ever.

[TylerDC]

Bourn's debuting for the wrong team tonight.

[The Chief]

Rizzo just cited "financial relief" as a factor in the Marquis and Hairston trades in a pre-game interview with Debbi Taylor
