Phillies 4, Nationals 1: Old School chicken [bleep] Cole Hamels dominates.
Nats win a series, blow yet another chance to sweep a series (we've lost count at this point). Braves lose; Nats remain in first place for at least another day.

Morse could return to Nationals around June 1
The Washington Nationals may have actually gotten some positive news on the injury front on Thursday -- a rarity this season. Before the 5-3 loss to the Pirates, manager Davey Johnson said left fielder Michael Morse (lat injury) is progressing more quickly than anticipated and could be back in the lineup around June 1. They had been looking at Morse coming back June 8, but Johnson...

Former Buccos bury the Pirates
Remember when we used to make fun of Adam LaRoche for sucking so bad? Remember when he used to hit below .200 for the first half of the season while playing first base for the Pirates? What the hell happened?
Last night, LaRoche went 3 for 4 including a homer, 4 RBIs and his 1,000th Major League hit and led the Nationals to a 7-4 win over the Buccos. Again, what the hell happened...

And down goes LaRoche...
(Adam LaRoche has been one of the few bright spots for the Nationals thus far. Now he's got oblique soreness. Screengrab via MASN/TV.)
And so, Adam LaRoche was a late scratch from Thursday night's Nationals lineup because of right oblique soreness. Let's let Washington Post's Adam Kilgore explain what this might mean:
If LaRoche has only soreness in his oblique...

Surprise! Adam LaRoche Fueling Nats Quick Start
After Tuesday night’s games, the Washington Nationals sit atop the National League East with a record of 9-3. Much of the team’s early success is due to outstanding pitching from both starters and relievers, who have limited opponents to 30 runs in twelve games. Only the Rangers have allowed fewer runs so far, albeit in eleven games. The Phillies have given up 33 runs...

Busy, busy, day for the Nats on Thursday: a strong start from Edwin Jackson, Adam LaRoche hit AND ran, and more roster moves than you can shake a stick at. And then there's Steve Lombardozzi: three more hits yesterday in the Nats split squad win against the Tigers, starting at 2B on this day. Lombo has 19 hits on the spring, hitting a healthy...

"LaRoche throws baseball vs. Cardinals"
In the pantheon of boring spring training baseball headlines, that one takes the cake. Has the bar really been lowered to such an extent for Adam LaRoche that the simple act of throwing a baseball warrants a headline on Nationals.com (see image, above)? Apparently there's more to it than that. This particular throw was no simle trhow, but was a major test, even for a soft throw...

Nats LaRoche having trouble throwing, not hitting
Washington Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche's surgically repaired left shoulder still is not perfect when it comes to throwing a baseball.
As the Nationals get ready for their first official full-squad workout of spring training on Saturday, LaRoche prefers to focus on how well his shoulder feels when he's batting.
LaRoche says ''it would be nice to be 100 percent...
