Quiet Weekend
April 17th, 2010
NFA is going to be quiet this weekend. I have a research paper, capstone project, and a bunch of lesson plans to pull together.
I’ll try and get a Friday-Sunday recap up on Sunday night/Monday morning.
Thanks for your patience.

See, you get press credentials and you start big timing us.
Brian: Since you now lead at least three lives (Educator, Husband, member of the Press), we’ll cut you some slack.
Let’s have the commenters pick up the baton with intelligent comments and updates on how the squads are doing. Very cheered by yesterday’s events; big Nats win with solid pitching from our homegrown Lannan, another quality Strasburg effort before the rain delay, and even better a solid line by McGeary.
Anyone see McGeary’s start or listen to it over the radio? With all of the Guzmans and Kearns that Bowden left us, it would be nice if his aggressive draft pick McGeary could help compensate us for our pain.
Brian – good luck getting all that done. Sounds like a busy weekend for you. Congrats on the media pass! That says something about how important your site has become over the years for real news.
Thanks, as always, for all your efforts here.
I am wondering about Jordan Zimmermann. I think his 60-day DL period is just about up? Is there anything new that anyone has heard?
Everyone seems to want to track Wang, when one of the real jewels of the franchise (in terms of future potential) is still the much younger Zimmermann?
Z’nn had his surgery in August of 2009. I’d imagine we won’t see any on the mound in a game stuff from him until the GCL kicks off
Attended yesterday’s Nationals win – complete game shutout by Livan. Sat by the right field foul line and had a good look at Maxwell playing right field – not only did he get the game rolling with his 2-run shot, he plays solid defense and managed the corner well. Local kid from Bethesda, Maryland I hadn’t seen before. P-Nats had a tough night after picking up the win in Friday’s suspended game. Lost the second game in a shortened 7 innings 6-2.
For folks needing a fix, our foreign correspondent does News & Notes for us at NationalsProspects.com (I do the Potomac part): http://bit.ly/b1B8y8 She’s an Expos/Jays fan based out of Canada.
It’s a bit sporadic due to her status as a college student and my being on a roadtrip to Winston-Salem and Richmond the past two days.
“Last Night in Woodbridge” will return on Tuesday morning. AJ Morris pitched last night so I should have something to say about him on Friday morning.
ash bin week for others. not the Nats. I like the small ball line-ups Riggs can run out!!!! avoid the film Bounty Hunter….
Another great start by Rosenbaum in Hagerstown: 1-0 17.1 IP 8 Hits 3 BB 18 SO 0.52 ERA
those are his stats after 3 starts. Whatta tank
I don’t know this guy, what’s his backstory. Thanks.
Great game in Maryland…Suns win a thriller in 12 innings 9-7 putting them tied for 1st place JRAM back in the groove hitting another 2 run homer and key hits…excellent all around hitting for the Suns good series against the Shorebirds…
