Gonzalez hopes the return of All-Star third baseman Miguel Cabrera can help Florida snap the skid. Cabrera was held out of the lineup Friday with a sore right oblique. He hopes to play when Florida sends Anibal Sanchez to the mound.

Sanchez (1-0, 4.32 ERA) allowed only one run and four hits in his last start, but walked six batters as the Marlins lost to Houston 4-3 on Monday. The right-hander is 2-0 with a 3.23 ERA in five career starts against the Nationals.

Starting for Washington, Matt Chico (1-1, 5.27) will be hoping for a better performance than his major-league debut against the Marlins on April 4. In four innings, Chico gave up six runs and eight hits - including three home runs - but the Nationals scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to win 7-6.

The left-hander has settled down since his first start, allowing five runs - only two earned - over his last two starts, spanning 9 2-3 innings. He gave up one run and four hits in five innings to beat Atlanta 5-1 on Monday.

Ah, a rematch of our first win of the season. Should be interesting...

C'mon Matt...go get em buddy!

Both bullpens are shot but I think the Marlins called up a few relievers from AAA. We on the other hand used everyone yesterday except for Speigner (He worked the previous 2 days before Friday). Chico has to go at the bare minimum 6 innings and ideally 7.

Strike 4 on Lopez.. What was he looking at both of those pitches?

spidernat · « **Reply #5 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:06:32 pm »

Wow that pitch was too good to take.

spidernat · « **Reply #6 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:06:55 pm »

Or rather too close to take.

Nice easy 1-2-3 for Anibal. He has always given this team trouble.

I have directv and I'm watching the game.

Are you not in the DC region?

nats2playoffs · « **Reply #11 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:10:34 pm »

The game is being aired on UPN-20 in the DC area, NOT on MASN2.

(The Orios are on MASN1... and NO, there is NO scroll on that screen directing Nationals fans on where to see Washington's game. MASN=Liars=Evil Pawns of Peter-the Pig Angelos.)

Nevermind. I forgot that the game was on 20.

I enjoyed the Havana Pete pic nevertheless.

walks Hanley...

spidernat · « **Reply #15 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:11:40 pm »

I was wondering about that because they always scroll when the birds are airing simultaneously.

spidernat · « **Reply #16 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:14:12 pm »

This blows.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:14:35 pm »

Going to be a long game... 2 straight walks. This is exactly what we didn't need from Chico tonight.

shoeshineboy · « **Reply #18 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:15:38 pm »

I pretty much resign myself that a Chico start is a loss, and anything we get from him is gravy. So I am going to try to keep by BP in check tonight.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:17:35 pm »

dumb *** umpire.. He better make that call. Nice Matt

spidernat · « **Reply #20 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:18:25 pm »

That was embarrassing.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:18:45 pm »

what the hell..

shoeshineboy · « **Reply #22 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:19:16 pm »

I think Chico just made sportscenter and not for the reason he wanted. Chico, meet the mayor of Cincinnatti. Mr. Mayor, meet Chico.

spidernat · « **Reply #23 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:19:43 pm »

That will be on baseball tonight and sportscenter.

shoeshineboy · « **Reply #24 on:** April 21, 2007, 07:20:33 pm »

Maybe he should throw the first pitch over the dugout every time.
