Washington Nationals starter John Lannan<\/strong> flirted with disaster early, but emerged relatively unscathed, thanks in part to poor Pittsburgh Pirates baserunning. In situations like this, it is best to let the hometown paper describe it — here are some choice quotes:<\/p>\n

There is aggressiveness on the basepaths, and there is outright foolishness.<\/p>\n

$2 TICKETS FOR TODAY’S GAME STILL AVAILABLE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nats are selling $2 for today’s game. I bought a pair, but I was planning on taking the day off and going anyway. If the game gets rained out, I figure I’ll get to use them for another game down the road.
