More Paraphrased John Lannan Quotes From Yesterday's Blogger Conference Call With The Nationals:

Lannan - 

- A veteran starter would help...

- The starters on the staff now know each other from the system...

- Opening Day was a rough day, stopped trusting stuff, too fine in the zone...

Does the National media constantly taking shots at Nationals bother players?

- We don't let it bother us, know what we have to do, started weak and record's not that good, but we know what we can do...

You can vote as many times as you want at games!

At least until your wife gets sick of you flicking chads all over that almost (but not quite) land in her beer and she makes you stop. Grab a few ballots to punch while you’re standing in line to buy beer! Bring a pencil, you only have to vote for Zim… I think I’m up to about 150…

Guz grounds to first to start the home half...

NJ: Is Kearns’s slump a little longer than you thought?

ACTA: Yeah it’s taking him a little long and we need him now that we don’t have Flores in our lineup. The bottom part of our lineup has suffered without him. We need him to step up. We’re going to see what he is going to do now in this interleague series because it is going to give us an opportunity to have an extra hitter there. Then after that, we’re going to have to make a decision.
