[Guest Edgy DC]

In case you haven't heard, Jesse Orosco, making his first start since 1979, will be throwning out the first pitch to Gary Carter.

Stupid work.

i hear they're predicting an epidemic of 24-hour flu for April 3rd, strangely they are not predicting any increase in hospital visits...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Based on Dickshot's report and independent investigation, it's ooking like...

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Not for nothin, but I wouldn't mind rain delaying the start until, say 5:01 pm. I have way too much work to do.

[Centerfield]

I second Widey's motion.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The probable lineup on the Nats' homepage suggests Dickshot was right about Watson getting the opening day ceneterfield/leadoff job, but not so right about Guillen batting third.

Let's proceed, Mets.

[Elster88]

I think you meant to say:

LET'S GET IT ON

[Guest Rotblatt]

I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel like I feel, baby
Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon
Let's get it on
Ah, baby, let's get it on
Let's love, baby
Let's get it on, sugar
Let's get it on

[Guest Rotblatt]

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby
Stop beatin' 'round the bush
Oh, gonna get it on
Threaten' you, baby
I wanna get it on
You don't have to worry that it's wrong
If the spirit moves ya
Let me groove ya good
Let your love come down
Oh, get it on
C'mon, baby
Do you know the meaning?
I've been sanctified
Girl, you give me good feeling

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm getting live shots of the dugout from MLB.tiv. Organ music is playing "Brown-Eyed Girl," beating the pants off of any DJing. Ms. Jarvis, is that you? Yay.

Mets in snow-whities with black caps/blue bills. Boo.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Introducing the teams are Tom McCarthy and Howie Rose.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nationals... boooo....

Clubhouse starff: Mike Wallace, Tim Abraham, Mike McGowan, Jose Martinez.

Coaches: Eddie Rodriguez, Tomo Ohka, Davey Lopes, Tony Deasley, Mitchell Page, John Wettland, Randy St. Clair. Nielson Robledo.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Players: Damian Jakckson, Fick, Guzman, leCroy, I'm falling behind.

Marlon Anderson got a nice hand. Mike Stanton booed back to the stone age.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jeers for Soriano.

[MFS62]

Is it raining there yet?

Later

[Guest Edgy DC]

Dickshot was right. Guillen is in three hole.

Julio just heard his first boos.
Let's proceed, Mets.

[Guest Edgy DC]

National Anthem to be sung by the cast of "Ring of Fire," to conclude with pyrotechnics in Centerfield.

Johnny Cash should just be cut in little pieces and sold on ebay.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

ESPN is doing basketball news. (I was hoping for some Mets-Nationals pregame stuff.)

I found out today that I'll also be getting the game on MLB Extra Innings, which will start at 1:10 p.m. I hope it's the Mets feed; if it is I'll switch over. Otherwise, I may jump between Nationals coverage and ESPN until I figure out which one I like better.

Only minutes to go...

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

That eHarmony.com guy is hard to take.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Glavine gets the first out. ESPN still isn't carrying the game.

I'm glad I have the Extra Innings package! It's Keith and Gary doing the game on SNY.

VERY cool.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Brandon Watson flies to Carlos Beltran with 27 degrees of compatibility.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Anybody else here?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jose Vidro goes down swinging and looking bad on a Glavine change.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

1-2-3 inning for Glavine.

A great way to start the year.

Tom Glavine � your current NL, strikeout, ERA, WHIP, etc. leader.
