The Nationals Are Coming, The Nationals Are Coming...

The "woeful" Nationals, the "lowly" Nationals, the "traveling circus", or how about, as NY Post writer Kevin Kiernan calls them this morning in an article entitled, "Time To Turn Flushing Into Fat Citi", "the doormat Nationals". Mr. Kiernan writes, in a preview of the three-game series that starts tonight in Citi Field between the NL East's third-place NY Mets and the 5th place Washington Nationals, that the Mets, "...believe they are beginning to gain that long-lost edge they've been searching for," and what better opponent to regain that edge against, right?

The Mets took two of three from DC when the teams, uh, met, sorry, in Citi Field earlier this season, but two of the three wins came with Scott Olsen and Daniel Cabrera on the mound for Washington, and the one Nationals' win came courtesy of Jordan Zimmermann, who'll start Wednesday's finale, with John Lannan going tonight and Ohio's favorite son, Craig Stammen to pitch tomorrow. 

New York returns to Citi Field following a 10-game road trip through San Francisco, LA and Boston which saw them take three-straight from San Francisco before dropping the finale to the Giants and all three to the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The Mets rebounded to take two of three from Boston in Fenway Park and finish the trip 5-5. The Nationals head out on the road having just completed an 11-game homestand which saw them go 2-9, losing seven-straight, four to Philly and three to Pittsburgh, before taking the finale from the Pirates and the third of three from the Baltimore Orioles.

  2. Nick "Two-Spot" Johnson - 1B

Ramon Martinez at SS has 4 errors in 25 chances, which is twice his number of hits in 23 ABs…

MiLB-career .303 OBP- Omir Santos has swung at a terrible 35.8% of pitches outside the zone.
