The highlight of the first game was the dog parade before the game, and a couple in front of us singing Margaritaville. The absolute worst singing performance of all time, no question.

Carr also has one of the worst pictures I’ve ever seen for a player. Horrific.

The player entrance music was much better than I was expecting.

Don’t think Meyers gets a call in 2009 but he seems a good choice for mid-2010

What level do you see him starting at next season? Could he be in Washington in the middle of next season?</p> Brian, is there a chance that Brad Meyers gets promoted?

Presumably a couple of more slots could be opened up by moving Dmitri to the 60-day DL (or releasing him) and moving Mattheus to the 60-day DL.</p> By my reckoning, the following are on the 40-man roster and could be called up in September with no problems: Atilano, Chico, Detwiler, Estrada, Martis, Desmond, Maxwell and Montz.

Congrats on the nice article in the Washington Tomes. I know what you do is for the love of the game, but it’s still nice to hear some compliments once in a while. For fans interested in the future of the Nats and all their young players, NFA is the #1 resource.

The article in the post was proof of this...nice! In regards to what you heard this weekend... did they mention anything specific about who may be called up in Sept? I'd love to see a few of these guys get up there... they mention anything about Segovia? Wilkie? Novoa? Everts?</p> Brian- great work! The article in the post was proof of this…nice!

Mark Scialabba mentioned yesterday that they would not bring their prospects up just to give them a cup of coffee. It doesn't make sense to add Marrero to the 40-man until he's ready to go. When asked directly about Marrero and 2010, Scialabba was cautious and said while it was not out of the question, it was also not a certainty.</p> PHS – I doubt it.
