You will notice that Davey has decided that he really wants to earn that 6th consecutive win by resting both Werth and Morse on the same day.

the old "two guys in left, none in right" defense.  Interesting.

morse is slumping, werth is hurting.

FWIW, this is stanton's 2nd day back after hurting his hammy, he was 0-3 last night.

For those going tonight: Capital Weather Gang NatCast has 'It's been a while since we have needed to dress in layers – but now is the time! Our bodies won't be used to the cool breeze and temperatures by game's end perhaps as cool as upper 50s! With the sun setting earlier, it won't help keep you warm either!' with 5% chance of rain.

Also, Metro trackwork starting up at 22.00 tonight and going on through the weekend; all lines except Green affected - biggest project will involve closure of the Yellow line bridge and both Yellow and Blue line trains running on the Blue line route: http://www.wmata.com/about_metro/news/PressReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=5037

Two guys in left huh?  Old man Rick is going to get his cardio in tonight

[RobDibblesGhost]

Got the lineups from Zuckerman...not sure which one of them is in right...

I have a quick question, and I apologize if it's slightly off-topic. I was actually at the game Thursday at Citi Field and I bumped into a MASN cameraman on my way in. Did anybody see my back in the introduction? I was wearing a red Nats jersey which read "ROOSEVELT" and number "26". The guy to my right was wearing a gray road Stephen Strasburg jersey.

Alex Ovechkin is at Orioles Park tonight, throwing out the first pitch, presumably.  DISGUSTING Ted Leonsis!!!

And he's wearing an orioles jersey. At least that should make one poster here happy.

Did the Nats office ask and get turned down? BTW, we have Caps fans that come from PA, MD, WV to games on weeknights during the season.

I'm not surprised that Leonsis is trying to increase his TV audience. More income from his cash cow means maybe he can improve the Wizards.... maybe.

I think the last time Morse had a day off, he came back en fuego.

Probably wants both of them back and fresh for Strasburg's start.

Debbi Taylor's nose looks like a potato that was dropped from the roof of a 12 story building.

You crack me the freak up.

Hello Eddie.

Welch was at the game too.

Don't get me lying. I recall seeing a Roosevelt jersey but that may have been during the President's Race AKA "The Main Event".

If Baltimore ever gets a NHL team of their own, I'm sure that fans of that team (Skipjacks?)
will get angry at other fans in Baltimore who continue to root for the Caps. But in the meantime,
the Caps do represent both Washington and Baltimore. I have less of a problem with Capitals wearing
Ravens or Orioles attire in Baltimore to reach out to those fans than I do with people who think the
Orioles (or Ravens) ARE Washington teams.

[The Chief]

Bonifacio the Nat killer not wasting any time

[GburgNatsFan]

Boni hitting .283... where was that when he was playing for the #Nats?

[PC]

Why is it so difficult for us to beat this team, this otherwise terrible team???  It defies reason!

Game.
