RESULT: Nats lose to Marlins 2-1.
GOOD: Shairon Martis. Five innings, two hits, three walks, one earned run, nine strikeouts.
Wee Willie Harris went 2-for-3 with a walk.
BAD: Cristian Guzman. 0-for-4, two left on base, and a throwing error that resulted in the winning run scoring.
UGLY: Fifteen individual runners left on base. Example A on why the Nats need a to get a slugger in the line-up. They just have trouble stringing base hits together to score runs.
NEXT GAME: Tomorrow. 7:10 pm from Dolphin Stadium. Tim Redding faces Josh Johnson.

Right on, Dave... 2009 is the year when the Nats have to ramp it up in the slugging department.
That is, unless they want to set all-time MLB records for LOBs, hard-luck losses, and season-ticket non-renewals.
