President Obama is scheduled to throw out the first pitch when the Nationals host the Phillies on Opening Day, April 5 in Washington. I'll be getting my hair cut around that time. No game for me.
Chris Coste, placed on waivers by the Mets, was claimed by the Nationals. That means we may still see Coste as a visiting player this season at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown.
Raul Ibanez continues to have a dismal spring training. Jose Contreras makes me want to run and hide. With Lidge and Romero out for the start of the regular season, the bullpen does not inspire much confidence.
