No Sweep

But two out of three ain't bad. The game on Saturday was pretty much stress-free, as the 6-run fifth inning put them up 10-0. Excellent start notwithstanding, it looks to me like the Nationals really are that bad. Unfortunately, so is Victor Zambrano, but the Amazins still took care of business at home.

A tip of the cap to Jae Seo, who apparently was "working on things" at Norfolk, where he had been carrying an 8.something ERA. Saturday's performance was downright Ginter-esque (OK it was much better than should be expected of any emergency starter).

Victor Diaz really needs to cut it out with this Manny Ramirez impression. We get it. They call you "little Manny." It's cute, but there's no need to keep the joke running into May, making everyone resent Mike Cameron for still being on the payroll. Seriously, there's no way this can continue. He's blowing the doors off his 90th percentile PECOTA projection, and it has to stop at some point.

Best case scenario? Cameron comes back, has another 4-HR game, and gets traded to the somewhat CF-needy Phillies for beastly-but-blocked-by-Thome 1B Ryan Howard. Not likely, I suppose, except for the part about Cameron coming back, but a guy can dream.
