You almost hate to even go, but hey, such is the plight of the Nats season ticket holder.

T-shirts Tuesday and Strasburg Wednesday, at least. This losing streak better end before Strasburg, though.

Livan versus Bruce Chen, who is amazingly still a starter in MLB, tonight. Nats still going with Morgan and Guzman up top despite alot of fan sentiment to give Bernadina and perhaps Desmond a chance up there.

I don't think it matters when Zimmy and Hammer aren't producing, though.

Royals have been sneaky good of late, have been getting decent starting pitching during their recent resurgance. But other than ZG, there isn't much to fear from their rotation.

That being said, they still aren't good......and offensively very sporadic.

This could be....or rather NEEDS to be..... the time for the Nats to step it up offensively before they drift too far away.

Morse and Guzman go yard and the Nats win Game 1, 2-1.

Livan was not great, but good enough against a Royals lineup that wasn't especially intimidating. Capps put a runner on at first and third before getting the save.

It's getting to the point where the Nats really have to seriously platoon Morse at multiple positions to get his bat in the lineup.

Atilano versus Anthony Lerew tonight. Lerew doesn't really bring anything special to the table, but then, neither did half the pitchers that have dominated the Nats lately.

Adam Kennedy gets the start at second, Guzman moves to short.

Gold Glove infield........ouch

Well, no errors yesterday for the Nats as they hold on to beat KC in game two 4-3. Atilano makes it two nice outings in a row for the starters. Capps gives up a couple of runs but still gets his 22nd save.
Hot day today (high 90's) for Strasburg, who opponents are batting .111 against if he gets the first strike.

Another good outing for SS.

It was a good outing. Royals did a great job of working the count (at least after the first) and poking singles through. Couldn't get an extra base hit, but it did the job against the Nats' offense, which has just been bad the last few weeks.

1-0 win for the Royals. Day off for the Nats tonight.
