I did the Keystone State thing for Easter, so I did not get to follow the Nats too closely, which is a shame because they actually had a good series, taking 2 of 3 from the Marlins. John Patterson finally pitched well and gave the bullpen a rest by going eight on Saturday. I think Ryan Church<\/b> may have had a good day yesterday too…<\/p>\n
Church Arrives in Time to Lead Nats to Series Win<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i> More from The Wash. Times<\/i>: Church powers way out of slump<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Boxscore<\/b><\/a> – ESPN<\/i><\/p>\n Also, P John Patterson<\/b> apparently has the status within the club to push back starts if he wants. Instead of pitching Thursday in Philly, he will pitch Friday at RFK vs. Atlanta.<\/p>\n
Church hit his first two homers of the season yesterday, including the game winner in the ninth. I am sure Jim Bowden<\/b> (file photo<\/b><\/a>) is talking about what great strategy it was to send Church to New Orleans.<\/p>\n
NATIONALS NOTEBOOK<\/b> – 50 Years On, Robinson Remembers<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Manager Frank Robinson<\/b> got his first hit 50 years ago. He remembers it well along with the 0 for 23 slump that followed.<\/p>\n
Defense continues to make strides<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
Following a disasterous spring, the Nats defense had nowhere to go but up and that is precisely what it is doing, if you look at the number of errors committed.<\/p>\n
Jim Williams: Angelos on the record<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Examiner<\/i>
The interview with Peter Angelo$<\/b> is now up. He comes off as very polished and says lots of nice things, but I am unmoved. This sort of thing should have been happening 16 months ago. As Distinguished Senators<\/b><\/a> would say “he doesn’t get a cookie every time he doesn’t crap his pants.”
