Overhauled Offense Shows Promise – The Post
Swing music has Nats grooving – The Wash. Times
Yes, the Nationals offense looks a lot more formidable right now and on Monday they did score 11 runs (in a tiny ballpark), but before we get too excited, let’s not forget that they went something like 23 consecutive batters without getting on base on Opening NIght. Can we at least give it a week before we proclaim how much better the lineup is this year? Two games isn’t a great sample size.
Nats’ Johnson picks up where he left off – The Wash. Examiner
Having 1B Nick Johnson back at first base is a big factor in the lineup looking better. Dmitri Young was a good story as comeback player of the year, but Johnson is a more effective hitter and first baseman.

The Food section covers the ballpark cuisine. I’ll agree that the prices are steep, but the quality is improved over RFK. Don’t forget that you can bring in your own food (single serving packages) and water too.
