I know what you're thinking: There's no way they can play baseball in D.C. today. Well, that may prove to be true, but I don't think we're going to get definitive word on that for a while. Because as hard as it is raining right now, and as much as it's expected to continue raining this afternoon, it is expected to stop at some point, perhaps sometime around or shortly after scheduled first pitch at 4:05 p.m.

So in other words, stay tuned.

If they do play, the Nationals will be going for the season-opening sweep of the Marlins. They'll have the same lineup out there that they had in the first two games. Why mess with something that has worked? Gio Gonzalez takes the mound for his first start of the year, hoping to carry over the success (and efficiency) he displayed nearly the entire spring ...
