Having just driven home in occasionally heavy rain I’m wondering if tonight’s Nats vs. Braves game is going to be played. Missing tonight’s game would allow Manny Acta to give his Thursday, Friday and Saturday starters an extra day before getting the rotation back to normal. A Sunday afternoon game without Billy Traber pitching sounds nice, doesn’t it?

UPDATE: So much for that theory they are playing now (Atlanta leads 2-0 in the 1st) and Micah Bowie is getting the nod on Sunday (Chatter, The Wash. Times).
