- Jose Valverde will throw two rehab outings at AA Corpus on Wednesday and Thursday and if all goes well, he'll rejoin the club to square off against the Diamondbacks.
- Felipe Paulino is day to day with his "little" groin strain (his words).
- Kaz Matsui could be back with the team sometime during the Cubs series. I'm not very excited about that.
- Solomon has notes about Geoff Geary and Jose Valverde's simulated games and a reminder to enjoy this stretch of the schedule and the winning it has brought.
- Miguel Tejada, apparently, is only really trying at defense every other year.
- The Hardball Times version of power rankings (you'll need to scroll down a bit...unfortunately).
- For the Mac users in the audience who are itching to try their hands at saber-challenges, BtB is helping us marginalized, but über hip, people out.

This quote in Solomon's blog...
struck me as funny:
Cecil Cooper says getting healthy – Kaz Matsui (hamstring) is about ready to return – is a relief.
“I feel like a guy with some ammo now,” Cooper said.
I'm sure what Felipe means
is that he has a “little” strain and not that he has strained his “little groin”
Oh I know
But it was just a poor choice of phrasing and too good for me to pass up.
The Crawfishboxes
A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Credibility issue
A line from Hardball Times ranking shook my confidence in their rankings:
“You may not have noticed, but the Nationals boast one of the best lineups in baseball to date.”

Well...
They are sixth in the NL in runs scored.
But does that make them one of the best in baseball?
Or just good?

Does lineup just mean offense?
The Nationals have some good hitters. The Nationals’ defense is possibly the worst in the majors…maybe historically bad.
