Shairon Martis vs Jeff Karstens...

Karstens has never faced the Nationals. Martis has never faced the Pirates...

DC Starting Lineup...(courtest of Washington Post writer Chico Harlan's Nationals Journal post entitled, "Lineups from Nats Park.")

  1. The Guzzzzz - SS
  2. Nick "Two-Spot" Johnson - 1B
  3. THE KIDS CALL HIM ZIM!! - 3B
  4. The Big Walkay - RF(ugh)
  5. THE HAMMER - LF
  6. TAWH - CF
  7. Anderson "Elvis" Hernandez - 2B
  8. Wil "Blocker" Nieves - C
  9. Smiley - Starting...
AND NOW...THE LATEST INSTALLMENT OF THE STRASBURG FILES... 
Without quite as much fanfare as his final home start with the San Diego State University Aztecs, Stephen Strasburg improved to (12-0) last Thursday with a win over the Utah Utes in which he actually gave up a few runs, (2 in the 1st), struck out 10 and even walked a batter on the way to an 11-2 Aztecs' win

The projected #1 overall pick in June's draft got a nod of approval from the Face of the Franchise with the top pick, when Ryan Zimmerman said this week, as quoted in MLB.com's Bill Ladson's article entitled, "Nats have faith they can sign Strasburg", that when it comes time to make the selection:
"'You have to do it,' Zimmerman said. 'From what everyone is saying, if you are an organization like we are that is young and moving forward, you have to take the best guy available.

"'I think he is head and shoulders above the rest. You are talking about a guy that could be an impact player from the moment you draft him. If you can add that arm to our good young starting staff, we are pretty much set -- knock on wood -- for a long time.'"
According to Yahoo! Sports.com's Jeff Passan's article entitled, "Strasburg won't see DC this season", Nationals fans shouldn't expect to see Strasburg on the major league team this year if they are in fact able to sign him to a deal. Mr. Passan speaks to the Nationals' "Acting" GM Mike Rizzo in the article, who says that he just doesn't see anyone in this year's draft who's ready to jump to the Majors immediately. In Mr. Rizzo's own words:
"'I don’t see that in this year’s draft,' Rizzo said. 'It’s such an acclimation process for a pitcher to go through, and it’s so very, very difficult, I just can’t see someone doing it.'”
But in my mind the most important quote from Mr. Rizzo comes later in the article, when the "Acting" DC GM echoes the sentiments of many DC fans who will be more than happy to select Strasburg, but do not want to relive the process it took to get the #1 overall pick, (losing 102 games in 2008). Mr. Rizzo says it succinctly, "I don't ever want this pick again."

Hear Hear!!! Now sign Strasburg and Let's Go Nats Go!!!

Pretty good at getting GBs, I understand.

Be interesting to see if Zimmy can lift some—a lot of his improvement this year is from hitting more stuff in the air instead of burying ’em in the dirt.

Maybe it's something in the grass over there?

He is a lot closer to the 5 Guys stand than in LF. Perhaps the smell of their fries creates an ongoing distraction.

BOWDEN!!

Why is Cintron still up? He’s 2-for-the-season, he’s not a great fielder… what possible role is he playing, other than PH-out? Also, Martis stays in one more inning, Villone’s scoreless two get us through 9, and Beimels on his first inning in the 10th. Martis could have made the last out in the 6th just as well without a RISP, and he easily had one inning left.

Dunn at first all season makes me sick to my stomach a little...

Can TAWH play 1st?

I mean he plays every other position.

I think the object is to find some pitchers who can last at least finish 7 innings , if not complete games.

Smarty could have finished 7 if Manny had let him.

I can't see Zimmermann possibly losing to the Pirates, so just mark a "W" in the win column for tomorrow now...

Oh, it's not reverse jinx. It's all-jinx, all the time.

Tomorrow night is the start of 23-game winning streak. “They better win tomorrow,” says Mrs Doghouse, after hearing my summary of tonight’s disappointment. Hey, that’s not a jinx, it’s a threat!

When are we going to see some brown paper bags on the head at the games?

Instead, Nationals fans are dressing up as empty blue seats...

Wow, the costumes are really convincing.

That explains how last night’s attendance was 17K… half of the fans dressed up!

If we lose the next 3 games, we are on track to lose 120 games!
Some improvement over the last 4 years.
