Tonight's Game

Tonight's game.

This is not a great pitching matchup for the Nationals. Ryan Drese, who has had trouble getting anyone out, goes against Cory Lidle, whose VORP is 8.7 compared to Drese's 1.3. On the other hand, Lidle isn't great, and his ERA--4.61--shows that he can be very hittable. If the Nationals continue to hit the ball the way they have in the past four games, they should do well. On the other hand, if they revert to past practices, well...

The Nationals are once against starting Cristian Guzman, we guess for defense. Wait a minute, Guzman's been awful lately on defense, right? So, then, we don't understand; why are we starting Guzman?
