The game start time has been pushed back briefly here because of a little rain, but the radar indicates that things should clear up soon. This won't be a major delay. No start time has been indicated, but I'd guess this should begin around 2 p.m. CT. In the meantime, I'll fill you in on Austin Kearns, who's out of the lineup today.

Nationals Journal 8/22/2008
The Nats were down 4-0 this afternoon, sleepwalking, really. And they could be forgiven, too; they'd gotten into town last night around 2 a.m. John Lannan couldn't find the strike zone and the Nats couldn't hit Cubs' pitcher Jason Marquis. Then, the ...
