Man Down!

Oh, what a shock! Sean Hill has been shut down because of arm pain! I love Sean Hill, I really do, but you had to see this coming.

The Nats lost their third game of Spring Training to the Marlins 4-1. Dennis Tankersley got beaten up, and because he's Dennis Tankersley, no one cares. Patterson gave up one run in his two innings, John Lannan (editor's note: Joel Hanrahan is not John Lannan. I will probably continue to confuse these two) looked strong, and both the Chief and the Wookie got to kick the tires, and both did fine.

On the batting side, Jesus Flores went 2/2 with a triple, and Elijah went 2/3 with a pair of singles. Bret Boone recorded his first hit since 2005.

Also, Humberto Cota is in camp with the Nats? Was he on Steroids? I think he was, but I don't remember, and I'm too lazy to check. One thing is for sure: Jesus Flores isn't our every day catcher, but any number of people could be! Old Humbie went 2/2 as well today, in an attempt to make himself look anything other than useless, a task with which the rest of the Catching staff has struggled so far in camp.
