Nats Lose; Cordero Is A Concern<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Cordero, Nationals’ hitters put little heat on Mets<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>

THE BEL TOLLS<\/b><\/a> – NY Post<\/i>
Matt Chico gave up three home runs. The Nats couldn’t hit when it mattered. Chad Cordero<\/span> had trouble cracking 80 MPH on the radar gun. The Nats need some diving intervention!<\/p>\n

Acta’s Away, But Office Is Occupied<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Pope Benedict XVI<\/span> is using Manny Acta’s office at Nationals Park this morning. This maybe just what the Nats need, though moving Nick Johnson<\/span> to the cleanup spot would probably help too.<\/p>\n

Acta: Johnson’s the No. 4<\/b><\/a> – The Free Lance-Star<\/i>
Acta’s explanation of why Johnson is batting fourth.<\/p>\n

Lo Duca’s hand injury still is issue<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
I can’t help but think that C Paul Lo Duca<\/span>‘s hand will magically heal itself upon his departure from Shea Stadium. Will Nieves<\/b> was called up so there would be a second available catcher. Chris Schroder<\/span> was sent down<\/p>\n

Rank: 13: Washington Nationals<\/b><\/a> – Forbes<\/i>
According to Forbes<\/span>, the Nats are the 13th most valuable MLB franchise<\/span><\/a>, but had the highest operating profit<\/span><\/a>. Chris Needham<\/span> of Capital Punishment breaks down the numbers<\/span><\/a> and somehow restrains himself from not unleashing a profanity filled tirade about the cheapness of the Lerner family. Don’t worry Chris, all of this money is clearly<\/span> supporting THE PLAN — the P-Nats have won 10 in a row<\/span><\/a>!!1!!1 (Nationals Nation<\/span>) <\/p>\n

The timing of this Forbes article probably doesn’t thrill Stan Kasten<\/span> too much, given that the Nats have a .267 winning percentage right now. Tough. With all that profit, they could have splurged and gotten a decent starting pitcher<\/span><\/a> and not set back THE PLAN one bit.<\/p>\n
