Home Field Advantage?
The question of whether or not the Washington Nationals (0-6) can win their first game of the 2009 season in the home opener today against Philadelphia (3-3) has somehow taken a backseat to a bigger question that's facing the nation's capital's favorite baseball team...
How many people will be there to see it if the Washington Nationals do win this afternoon?
Ed Price over at MLB Fanhouse published an article Sunday entitled, "Washington Coverup: How Empty Will Nationals Park Be?", in which he talks, not only about the fact that there are still tickets available for the first game of '09 in Nationals Park, but also about the fact that the Nationals are thus far unwillling to discuss just how many season ticket packages they've sold with only hours to go before the first of 81 home games begins today at 3:00 pm EST in DC against the Phillies.
Mr. Price quotes Nationals' team President Stan Kasten, who spoke to the press Sunday, trying to explain what he sees as the reasons behind the Nationals losing at least some of their season ticket holders:
"'Coming off 102 losses, there is going to be a drop-off [in season-ticket sales],...Second year in a new ballpark, there is going to be a drop-off. And what is happening in our economy, what our customers are living with and fighting -- we don't know what to make of it all. I'm going to hold off [on making the announcement] for now. I just don't have a number for you today."
MLB.com's Bill Ladson has the same quote from Mr. Kasten in his own article entitled, "Tickets remain on sale for home opener", and both Mr. Price's and Mr. Ladson's articles mention that in spite of Washington Times' reports to the contrary, President Barack Obama throwing out the first pitch today remains a possibility. Who will throw out the first pitch if not the President remains a mystery?(Please be Frank Howard, Please be Frank Howard.)
Washington Post writer Chico Harlan has team President Stan Kasten stating that there are still tickets for the home opener remaining, "but not many", in Mr. Harlan's Nationals Journal post entitled, "Tickets Still Available For Opening Day", and Mr. Harlan quotes the same line from Mr. Kasten that Mr.'s Price and Ladson did, with the Nationals' President admitting the obvious as far as ticket sales go, but Mr. Harlan includes the full quote from Mr. Kasten, starting with one line the other writers omitted, which takes away some of the ambiguity in Mr. Kasten's comments, as he states, "First of all, I will tell you, obviously season ticket sales are down," though he still steadfastly refuses to supply any numbers.
How many people will be in Nationals Park today?
The Nationals vs The Reigning World Series Champs...
It's DC's Own DC, Daniel Cabrera vs Jamie Moyer this afternoon in the home opener in Nationals Park. Daniel Cabrera has just two career appearances against the Phillies on his resume, one a relief appearances in 2004 in which he struck out 1, walked 1, and allowed 1 hit as he earned a save, and the other a 2005 Interleague start for the Orioles which lasted just 3.2 innings, over which he allowed 7 hits, 7 runs, a HR and 2 walks in a loss.
Daniel Cabrera vs The Phillies...
Raul Ibanez - 9 for 26, .346 AVG, 5 2B, 2 HR's, 7 RBI's.
Jimmy Rollins - 3 for 4, .750 AVG, 1 RBI.
Matt Stairs - 5 for 23, .217 AVG, 1 2B, 1 RBI.
Chase Utley - 1 for 2, .500 AVG, 1 HR, 1 RBI.
Jamie Moyer has faced the Expos/Nationals 20 times in his 22-year career prior to this his 23rd season, 19 times as a starter, and Moyer's (9-4) with a 2.87 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and .277 BAA the DC franchise. As I noted yesterday as a preview of today's matchup, Jamie Moyer, "...got hit hard the last time he faced Washington, (however), giving up 11 hits, 3 doubles, 3 HR's, and 9 ER's in just 4.0 IP in his last start of the Spring," and Moyer gave up 8 hits and 4 runs in his '09 debut against Atlanta...
Jamie Moyer vs The Washington Nationals...
Cristian Guzman - 11 for 40, .275 AVG, 4 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI's.
Ryan Zimmerman - 4 for 21, .190 AVG, 1 2B.
Josh Willingham - 2 for 21, .091 AVG, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 RBI.
Lastings Milledge - 6 for 19, .316 AVG, 1 2B.
Josh Bard - 6 for 16, .375 AVG, 2 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI's.
Austin Kearns - 5 for 14, .357 AVG, 2 2B, 1 3B, 1 RBI.
Jesus Flores - 6 for 15, .400 AVG, 3 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI's.
• Coming Soon...DC Starting Lineup...(as soon as it's posted, probably in the TWITTERFEED.")

I just got an e-mail from the Nats offering 2 tickets for the price of one for the Wednesday and Braves games...
It’s gonna be an ugly season for attendance.
Couple that with the laugh fest the Nats got on Mike and Mike this morning. Uuuggh!
What’s bad is the fact that we’ve been in four of the games played. Our pitching has got to get better though… The bullpen hasn’t been that bad? Right!
Buster Ulney came on and...
Greenie says something like, so the Nats are 0&6 looks like 102 from last year is continuing. Buster say something like, oh yeah don’t expect that to change. I turned it off and played a couple of games on my gameboy (I know I’m lame and to old to be playing a gameboy) and turned it back on twenty minutes later. I don’t mind coming to this forum or any other Nats blog etc hearing us “discuss” our team, but Ulney is a punk @$$ oh never mind, all those ESPN types like to stir the pot and sometimes I don’ t think they actually watch the Nats to make informed comments about them.Urgh!
Olney = Selig

Dunn's quote after the Manny closed door talk yesterday...
“Guys know what they need to do, and I think it’s being addressed,” Adam Dunn said. “The good thing is, if things aren’t going right or people aren’t doing their jobs, we feel like we’ve got a good enough team. If they’re not doing their job, then you’re sitting down.”
I like the sound of that last sentence. Hopefully, Dunn was paraphrasing something Manny said.
they can start with discarding Bard when Zimm(n) gets called up
let’s get some pitching today!

Nats just posted lineups
You’ll notice that Anderson Hernandez is listed at second base, so presumably they’ve activated him and DL’d either Belliard or Harris, though we have not received any announcement regarding that yet. We’ll try to keep you posted.
Phillies:
Rollins – SS
Victorino – CF
Utley – 2B
Howard – 1B
Werth – RF
Ibanez – LF

Chico also has a great analysis.....
The decision to let Saul Rivera pitch instead of lefty Mike Hinckley (or some other lefty) in the top of the seventh

How do you say fall short in Japanese?
BTW the way this is out of nowhere, but my son love’s Japanese culture and all things Japanese. Why you may ask? He has loved Godzilla since he first saw him at three years of age. He’s in grade 7 now and he plans on taking Japanese next year when it’s offered to him. I have a feeling my wife and I will be visiting him when he finds his way to Japan one day. I know that’s not to bad, but boy that’s a long flight.
Take Care...

You guys are great, just relived the game through your eyes, Dunn jokes, Japanese lessons, and pretty much the same complaining I did to complete strangers in my section...
Sorry, wifi was non-existent in Nationals Park, so the phone wasn’t working, just decided to actually watch a game for a change, thanks for blowing the site up all day long, til Wednesday night…

Great thread!
For what it’s worth, Ed, I found a “guest” WiFi network on the balcony behind the Red Loft. It took you to a “this network for authorized persons only” page, but didn’t ask for a password, and I could surf and check email normally after. Of course, you can’t see the field from behind the Red Loft…
