Today's Schedule:

11:00am EST. - The Federal Baseball.com Interview: Washington Post Writer Chico Harlan. Pt. 1

5:30 pm EST. - Before You Go To The Game, Check Out Tonight's GAMETHREAD!! 

Let's Go Nats Go!!! WE WANT STRASBURG!!(clapclap clapclapclap)!!!

What "They're Saying": Stephen Strasburg Edition...

• Thomas Boswell - Thomas Boswell on Drafting Stephen Strasburg With the No. 1 Pick - washingtonpost.com

- Tonight, when the Nats presumably take Stephen Strasburg as the No. 1 overall pick in the baseball draft, the team and its fans can begin to fantasize. And agonize, too.

• Jerry Crasnick: What price for San Diego State pitcher Stephen Strasburg? - ESPN

- The ultra-talented Stephen Strasburg is expected to be the No. 1 pick of the Nationals on Tuesday. But that'll be only the beginning of a long, costly process led by superagent Scott Boras.

• Stephen Strasburg versus Nationals looms as huge MLB draft battle - Jon Heyman

A Washington Nationals official pretended on Sunday not to know a thing about Stephen Strasburg, the San Diego State pitching phenom who's expected to go first to the Nats in Tuesday's draft. "What's Tuesday? Who's Strasburg?'' he said, feigning ignorance. 

(ed. note - "The 2009 MLB Draft starts at 6:00 pm EST live on the MLB Network, and the Reds and Nationals get underway at 7:05 pm EST. The day we all get to find out if we're still Washington Nationals' fans has finally arrived...")

Let's Go Nats Go!!!

WE WANT STRASBURG!!!

Great coverage, mr. chigliak, (and a Chico Harlan interview, too?!?)

However, I live for the day when the amateur draft is but a sidenote to the season and the games being played by the major league team.

Rizzo better be pointing to a room full of noggins and all of them turn out to be correct.

I didn't notice the seats, but now that I do, it kinda looks like a grand jury box....

What's the grand jury got to say about this season cat daddy?

BTW I’m hoping they go all out today and get the best available players.

Don't forget Clint!

I think Clint is the jinx. FIRE CLINT!!

At least the fireworks are back.

Maybe Clint can prove how safe the fireworks are by being suspended above them after the National Anthem...

Look at him flail wildly……

Poor Clint...such hate...he's just trying to entertain you...

Vivian Jaffe: "Have you ever transcended space and time?"
Albert Markovski: "Yes. No. Uh, time, not space... No, I don't know what you're talking about."

Maybe he could try the shoot-him-out-of-a-cannon-gag?........

Nah, then we’d probably have the City Morgue director in attendance and pieces of Clint raining down on the fans…….

Yes, poor Clint……

Maybe they'll end and quickly restart Clint's job too...

We can get Clint Eastwood to do it. Now that would be entertaining...

None that matter, and probably none that are any more cooperative, like Crow's former guys
