Just like we'll start doing for Caps playoff series, let's get specific game and series threads started here and populated on the team's thread.

For Nats thoughts not specifically related to this series, hit the Washington National Thread

For this series:

April 3 (1:00 p.m. start): Strasburg vs Volquez
April 5: Roark vs Strally
