PrintThe O's and Nats will get together for some sort of "special" spring training game in Fort Lauderdale today with nothing on the line and hopes that nobody gets hurt. But my disdain for caring about spring training games and statistics aside, this baby will be on MASN, MLB Network and MLB.tv at 1pm today, and that's fun. I might even be around to try to muster up some mustard.

I just heard on the radio
that Daniel Cabrera will be starting this game for the Nats. Fun!
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Cabrera will go 2 innings
He will walk 3, hit a batter and be yanked after walking the leadoff batter in the 3rd.
I smell some runs from our 1-6 spots.....
if freel can get on base, he can steal a bag, roberts can either drive him in or move him over to 3rd……
i know it’s spring training but it is so hard to wait to boo teixeira…
best of luck to our hitters in the first few innings as well...
watch out for those inside 92 mph fastballs from dcab… thank god he isn’t throwing 95-97 like he used to
Today should be a good day
The weather was saying all week that it was supposed to get up to 55-60 today. If so, I’ll definitely be out on the canoe in the Severn, with the radio at my side…

Sucks that Wieters played yesterday
Would have been good to see the franchise savior play in a game.
BTW, he’s been lighting it up so far in ST with a 1.300 OPS. 12 spring training AB’s is a large enough sample size, isn’t it?

yeah
Can you imagine Palmer and Buck together? They’d be lost.

Buck
it’s taken less than 2 full innings for Buck to make me want to stab a fork in each ear.

Corey Patterson is a National
Oh my God, what a tough time to be a Nats fan. Even worse than usual, I think. My heart goes out to the fan of any team that has both DCabs and Corey on the same team
Cintron as DH no less

Quote from Huff about Danny Cabs
I’ve told Daniel a thousand times, ‘If I ever face you, I’m just going to stand there. If you can throw three strikes, that’s great.’ Then, just for fun, I’m going to steal on the first pitch.

Buck on AJ in the two-hole: “It’ll make Adam Jones more patient naturally!”

Ah, yes, you don’t want run producers in the two hole.

It's also being played on hfs (or the fan, what the hell ever)

It has personality. I say this having never been there, but whatever.
Barry Bonds has personality too

I'll fight Rob Dibble in public

crap!
I could only watch the first hour during my lunch break and missed Wieters. Did the crack of his bat sound like holy thunder? Did the clouds part and a glorious ray of sunshine alight upon his shoulders when he was in the box? Did cats and dogs get along during his at bat?

Felix Pie

Things are so bad for the Nats...
that they gave John Hinckley a day pass from St. Elizabeth’s Hospital to pitch a third of an inning for them.
Yup
- Saw DC suck
- Saw Wieters hit
- Saw Pauley pitch

While I like Dave's insight
he’s hard to listen to because of his girly voice. Sorry Dave, but you sound like a chipmunk.
I'm late to the party
I caught a few of Wieters games in Bowie. The ball explodes off his bat. Can’t wait to see him in the Show. It will make a 72-90 season much more watchable.

The blues have always been American, as American as apple pie. The question is...why?
Hayden's at least made it out of A-ball
