The Mets open their last road series of the season tonight against the Nationals, at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.

Angel Pagan will lead off, followed in order by Luis Castillo, David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Jeff Francoeur, Fernando Tatis at first base, Omir Santos, and Anderson Hernandez.

Nelson Figueroa (2-7, 4.88 ERA) will start for the Mets. Figueroa pitched a dandy of a game his last time out on September 22 against Atlanta, going seven innings while allowing two runs on just two hits. This will be Figueroa’s first start against the Nationals this year.

Ross Detweiler (0-6, 5.71 ERA) will start for the Nationals. Detweiler will be making his 13th start of the season tonight, still in search for his first career victory. He has allowed just four runs in his last three starts over 12 2/3 innings, but is 0-1 with two no decisions to show for it.

Can’t figure out why Tatis is still playing.

No RF? Is Frenchy hitting 5th?

really don’t see why Tatis should be at first instead of trying to give Murphy every possible inning over there.

Oh yeah. Jerry is an idjit. The all purpose explanation for every dumb head scratching move.

or Evans

It has come to the point that I expect to see the Lost Continent of Mu before I see Evans in the lineup.

Dunn has had a great season with the Nats.

At this point, I would be shocked if Wright came through with a hit with men in scoring position.
