Tonight's Game

John Smoltz starts tonight against the Nationals. Smoltz has started four games in July, and he has been awesome. In 28 innings, he has the following stats:

K/BB -- K/9 -- BB/9 -- H/9 -- HR/9 -- ERA -- Opp. Avg.
4.2 --- 6.75 - 1.61 -- 6.75 - .96 --- 2.25 - .208

Livan Hernandez--the Nationals' starter tonight--hasn't done as well in July:

K/BB -- K/9 -- BB/9 -- H/9 -- HR/9 -- ERA -- Opp. Avg.
2.7 --- 5.7 -- 2.11 -- 10.5 - 1.5 --- 3.90 - .313

In other words, the Braves have the clear advantage on the mound tonight. They also have the advantage at the plate. In July, the Braves have the following stats: .322 OBP, .417 SLG, .739 OPS. The Nationals' stats are: .297 OBP, .333 SLG, .630 OPS.

All of this doesn't bode well for tonight, but Livan has pulled great games out of nowhere before, so let's hope he does it again tonight.

The Atlanta game is one tonight, and I can't watch it.

And we all know whose fault that is: Comcast, Cox and Angelos.

But finally there's a grassroots group that's going to stick it to Comcast, Cox and Angelos.

But to be successful, they need our help.

Check out www.IwantMyNatsTV.com and make sure to sign up.

If enough people sign up, it will send a powerful message to Comcast, Cox and Angelos, and we might finally get ALL of the Nats on television.

We've got to put some pressure on. And the only way to apply pressure is to speak out. And the best way to speak out is through www.IwantMyNatsTV.com.

(And just to prove that the group is legitimate, look for their ad in the July 29 edition of Roll Call or the August 5 edition of the City Paper. More ads will follow.)

Seriously. Take a minute. Visit www.IwantMyNatsTV.com and sign up now!
