Nats Show Early Signs Of Support – The Post
I caught most of the game on the radio. WFED 1050 AM reaches at least Vienna during the daytime.
The game started off well, even with Brad Wilkerson getting called out (incorrectly, according to Charlie and Dave) at home. The Nats put three on the board, but the Mets responded in kind in the bottom half of the 1st. Livan Hernandez was well on his way to another !Navil¡ outing, but he settled down in the following innings and finished strong. ¡Livan! left after the 7th having retired 13 of 14 and eight in a row. The Nats bats kept getting men on and home, scoring 11 on the home team. Nice — save some for today and (especially) tomorrow against the Phillies. It would have been nice to make the backpage of a NYC tabloid, but alas Lenny Dykstra (he was on roids, apparently) made the NY Post and Derek Jeter was on the Daily News.

Ohka to miss next turn in rotation – The Wash. Times
Oh. I am. So. Disappointed. That. Tomo Ohka. Will. Miss. A. Turn.
Struggling Horgan Is Sent Down – The Post
LHP Joe Horgan is going to go down to N’awlins, to get some jambalya and work on his mechanics. RHP Jon Rauch, solid as a starter in the Big Easy, will take his place in the bullpen. I would like to see him take Ohka’s spot in the rotation.
COMCAST VS. ANGELO$ I was not around this weekend to comment on the latest Nats TV melodrama, but a number of bloggers were and had a few things to say.
While it is hard for me to side with Comcast, it is even harder for me to side with Peter Angelo$. Suddenly, as the full page ad in yesterday’s Post, Angelo$/MASN says it is looking out for Nats fans. I cannot accept that at all. So, in order, the people/organizations I hold responsible for the Nats not being on TV everyday:
- Peter Angelo$
- Bud Selig
- Comcast
If there is an upside to all of this nonsense, it is that Angelo$ is taking a bath.
