Tonight's lineups from Nats Park

Feeling optimistic tonight so I'm going with 5 runs for the second straight night!

Did you mean to say Haren pitching for the DBacks. That's who ESPN lists and there is no pitcher named Romero on their roster???

If Haren is throwing, I'll go with 2 runs. 3-6 are respectable big league hitters for the Nats tonight, rest are AAAA type players.

But, hey, that's why the play the games! Maybe we'll hang double digits on 'em.

I'll take 6 for the Nats, and 0 for the Snakes. What? You said to get our guesses in? Not our orders? Oh. Never mind.

I'm listed in RF, not pitching.

-2

Guz gets on base twice, Flores and Young each drive him home once. Two runs for the Nats tonight. Nats win 2-1!!!

Prediction:

Tonight's the night when the Bowden voodoo vapor finally brews and the offense explodes!
Every starter has a least one hit!!
But thanx to three DP's & two failed bunting attempts(as well as one big-ass base-running error)...the Nats leave 12 LOB and score only 2 early-in-the-game runs.
Then lose 3-2 in the 9th on a wild pitch.
Thankfully, no one will see it on MASN.

I love being an '08 Nats fan.

Nats 4

Az 3

two RFs and no pitcher for the snakes? like i said before, two interns are covering tonight's game for the post.

Remix of prior post

Nats - 4
AZ - 3

Give me a break BIM !!!

eight against nine and the nationals get to decide who doesn't play? sounds like fun.

Oops, my bad on the double post. @NiceNat - What, you didn't like WMPy at 2nd in the order? Believe me, I think the guy is nearly as messed up as Sexton was in SEA, but he holds one of the best BA's against Haren on the team.

Ari-5

Just keeping it real

As best as I can tell from http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/transactions

Washington has indeed put the most players on the DL.

Following is my list, and any interesting facts:

WAS 20 Released John Patterson
ARI 8 Eric Byrnes likely done for season
ATL 9 Optioned Jeff Franceour
BAL 13 Released Jay Gibbons
BOS 12 Curt Schilling never made a start
CHA 6 Esteban Loiaza on DL 9 days after signing
CHN 9 Alfonso Soriano has been on the DL twice
CIN 12 Their shortstops keep getting on the DL
CLE 8 Victor Martinez has been DL'ed for a month
COL 12 Holliday, Tulowitzki, and Helton have all had time on the DL
DET 11 Optioned Dontrelle Willis
FLO 10 Placed only 1 player on DL since May 25
HOU 6 Waived Shawn Chacon; Oswalt uncomfortable but not DL'ed
KAN 3 Signed Hideo Nomo; released 23 days later
LAA 9 Kelvim Escobar on DL all season
LAN 11 4 players have been on the 60-day DL
MIL 10 Yovani Gallardo pitched in 3 games; out for season
MIN 10 Optioned Francisco Liriano
NYA 11 Released Billy Crystal
NYN 16 Moises Alou and Ryan Church are 5 of those 16
OAK 18 Eric Chavez began on the 60-day, activated, and is now on 15-day
PHI 9 MVP Rollins spent almost a month on the DL
PIT 4 Nothing interesting
SAD 16 Chris Young on DL after a Pujols line drive broke his nose
SAF 7 Nothing interesting
SEA 5 J.J. Putz has been on DL twice
STL 16 Major questions about Chris Carpenter and Mark Mulder (on DL)
TAM 9 Rocco Baldelli on DL - mitochondrial disorder
TEX 17 Hank Blalock on DL since late April
TOR 7 Released Frank Thomas

All I can say is Billy Beane is good, and Kansas City stinks.

I'm at work and following on CBS Sportsline. Is Bergmann dealing? He looks like he might be nasty tonight.

@BF: Nice digging! BTW, the NYA aside drew a chuckle.

This is where Bergmann needs to get his head right. This is where he can prove he's a pitcher of the future. Don't let the fact that you only have one hit in support distract you from making a good pitch.

Bergie needs to get the bat off his shoulder there, at least once.

Bergie has been dealing. A lack of effort from FLop plus a walk is creating an issue here in the seventh. And has now yielded a run. And of course there is the issue of us having a total of one hit to this point.
