Strasburg: Jesus or just another guy named Jesús?

Strasburgeddon?

No big deal, right? Only the most anticipated start in the brief history of the Nationals since April 14th, 2005; you know, when Livan Hernandez took the mound at RFK and baseball finally returned to Washington.

Hopefully we catch a little glimpse of what Stephen Strasburg is all about today, but it's hard to believe we'll find out all that much in ~2 innings/~35 pitches. 

All we're hoping for from today's start is to see Strasburg walk off the field with his arm intact. Is that asking for too much?

Good luck today, kid. No pressure.

I'll be looking to see if Strasburg plunks Casper Wells (who apparently went yard off Jesus in the AFL) a la Barry Zito vs. Prince Fielder. THAT would be newsworthy.
