Mets (54-51) at Nats (49-55)

[Jollay]

Wang better give us a discount to sign next year if he tears it up from this point on.

Game 1 tonight, Wang versus Gee, who is 9-3.

[Jollay]

Some of the best quotes about Wang last night...

"The place should be electric tonight." --Johnny Holiday

"Alot of people thought he would never pitch again." --FP Santangelo

Well, FP, shouldn't you rip the GM for signing Wang two years ago, if that was the case? I hated Dibble, but at least he broke with the company line every now and then.

Jayson Werth bobblehead night tonight--I hope people don't hurl them at him. Jason Marquis in perhaps his last start here versus Dickey the knuckleballer.

[Jollay]

Maya goes tonight as a sub for Marquis, who was traded.

[Jollay]

Wow--Werth owns his bobblehead night with a three-run homer, and Maya fills in beautifully to give the Nats a 3-0 win and break their losing streak. Brian Bixler was again recalled to play Hairston's role as well.

Zimmermann versus Niese today in the finale.

[Jollay]

A much better start for Zimmermann, who had struggled the last two times out, and the Nats win 3-2.

Scott Hairston has two solo shots, one to tie it off Storen in the ninth, but Nats manage to win it in their half of the ninth.

Much needed series win.
