Kennedy has had many chances to get it together. I'm amazed he got it out of the infield once yesterday.
Gonzalez has been hitting and is by far the best defensive middle infielder we have.
Plus the Mets are starting a lefty. Also Pudge is 38 and probably should get a day off in 97 degree games every now and then...
Go Nats!

Also its Hisanori Takahashi not vice-versa, Adam...
But it really doesn't matter..
He can't pitch anyway.

That should ensure a two hitter from him ;-)

I'm sure that back to back combo of Nieves and Gonzo wont produce 2 quick outs...is there a reason why Kennedy gets a clutch RBI base hit and we rotate him out? Not sure how any hitter, no matter who they are can get in a rhythm with this infield rotation.
