(Why can't Derek Lowe pitch every time the Nationals play the Braves? AP Photo.)
"I can't remember the last time that I beat the Nationals. They've given me a rough time. I was trying to get creative when Morse hit the homer. I threw him a backdoor cutter and that didn't work."

Derek Lowe, the Anti-Tim Hudson
Nationals 6, Braves 2: Lannan, Morse, and Willie help keep the brooms away.
And John Lannan is back?
"John really did a good job for us. He got us into the sixth inning. He got us deep enough in the ballgame where we had good bullpen matchups. I felt the ball was sinking pretty good. His changeup and breaking balls were pretty good, so, knock on wood, it looks like he is back on track."

Wilson Ramos, 0-4 in Nats' debut -- but it was a good 0-4...
Meanwhile...
Josh Willingham to the DL, surgery on his bad knee set for next week. See you in 2011, Josh; things will be much better around here then anyway.
