Should be pretty awesome, you have some really great young pitchers in there (and Livo), and your hitting should be beastly, with Crawford, Soriano, Mauer, Prince and Dutch. I'll look forward to reading this!

Washington Nationals @ New York Mets

Livan Hernandez pitches a gem but releiver craig hanson could not hold the lead. Hernandez pitched 7 strong giving up one run but only got one strikeout. The Nats had a 2-1 lead going into the 8th when Craig hanson came in, he gave up one run in the eighth and give up a walk-off rbi single in the ninth. Mets win 3-2

Notes-

Baldelli 2-4 with 2 rbi

Washington Nationals @ New York Mets

The Nats go into extras but the relief pitching fails again. Felix Rodrigez gave up a 2-run walkoff homer to the Mets in the botom of the 13th as the Mets win in extras, 5-3. Relief pitching has been a weakness of the team while the starters have been stellar so far. John Patterson (below) pitched 7 strong while giving up 2 runs and getting 4 K's. Mike Stanton has been to only solid releif pitcher, in the game he pitched 4 innings and gave up no runs.
