Bobby V. loves him some Pudge.

 

(AP Photo. Bobby Valentine wraps his arms around Pudge Rodriguez prior to Friday's Nats-Braves Grapefruit League matchup.)

The photo above makes us want to take a moment and give thanks for Jim Riggleman  -- despite doubts in some corners of NatsTown about Mr. Riggles' ability to properly manage Jesus Strasburg... Boy, oh boy, can you imagine an entire season of the insufferable Bobby Valentine mugging for the camera like this? Good choice, Rizzo.

Nats' spring home-opener today in Viera against the Mets. Lannan's first go. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until Monday for Charlie & Dave's first go on WFED -- and settle for the Mets radio broadcast, available here.
