"I just lost my aggressiveness, wasn't really getting through the ball. I was trying to guide it to spots, instead of just letting my natural ability take over. It made me lose command of the strike zone."

That Nationals.com headline from Saturday has a different feel on Sunday:
Oh, crap. We're doomed.
Marquis sets example for young staff
Mets 6, Nationals 5 (Sunday): Let's not speak about Jason Marquis, Willy Taveras, or that inside the park grand slam in the 2nd, okay? Or Matt Capps. Welcome back Matt Chico! And hey, that Mike Morse can hit! Drew Storen! Ho-hum, just another 2-4 day for Ian Desmond...
Mets 14, Nationals 6 (Saturday): Let's not speak about what Shawn Estes and Tyler Walker did, okay? Lannan shakes off the rust after a rocky first inning.
Chins up, NatsTown: thankfully, you have FJB to remind you that Spring Training doesn't matter.
Meanwhile, if you missed the Strasburg piece on CBS News Saturday night, video is available here.
