It begins today

The nats play their first game of the season today, against the Florda Marlins(sorry I haven't posted in a while).The starting lineup for Manny Acta's nats:
1. Lastings Milledge-CF
2. Cristian Guzman-SS
3. Ryan Zimmerman-3B
4. Adam Dunn-LF
5. Nick Johnson-1B
6. Austin Kearns-RF
7. Ronnie Belliard-2B
8. Jesus Flores-C
9. John Lannan-P
Tons wrong with that lineup. First you notice how Kearns is starting when a healthy Dukes and Willingham is watching him K. Also the first two spots belong to the two Most Aggressive hitters on the team? I don't get it, when we want people on base for Dunn,Zimmerman, and Dukes (not so much Kearns) Belliard over Flores (.410 with RISP)??? The lineup I would have:
1. Lastings Milledge-CF
2. Nick Johnson-1B
3. Ryan Zimmerman-3B
4. Adam Dunn-1B
5. Elijah Dukes-RF
6. Cristian Guzman-SS
7. Jesus Flores-C
8. Ronnie Belliard-2B
9. John Lannan-P Pinch Hitter- Josh Willingham
The lineup for Friedy Gonzalez's Marlins:
1. Emilio Bonifacio-3B

2. C John Baker

3. SS Hanley Ramirez

4. 1B Jorge Cantu

5. 2B Dan Uggla

6. LF Jeremy Hermida

7. RF Cody Ross

8. CF Cameron Maybin

Ricky Nolasco will be pitching.
We really need Kearns to get injured between now and 4:10, when Ricky Nolasco throws first pitch to Lastings Milledge. In that Florda lineup, look at who is leading off. Yep, even more aggresive and low on-base percentage than Milledge and Guzman, although the former national has tremendous speed. My prediction of today's opener:
Nationals 3, Marlins 2. Lannan throws 7 innings giving up 2 runs, Beimel gives one up in the eighth and Hanrahan closes it out. Nolasco throws seven innings, giving up three early runs (By the way, Kearns go's 0-5).
Since it is the first game of the year, I will make my NL East predictions:
1. Phillies, 91-71
2. Mets (Wild Card Winners), 90-72
3. Braves, 85-77
4. Nationals, 84-78 (87-74 if Dukes starts)
5 Marlins, 81-81
Nothing much was missed while I didn't post, other than a release of Shawn Hill and Wily Mo Pena, a signing of setup man Joe Beimel, and a 15-17 spring training.
I guess every day before almost every game I will do a recap of the game the day before, and a preview of the upcoming game, and any other news. Sorry I will not be able to post April 8th through the 14th, due to a upcoming trip to Arizona.
