    Gio has struggled, hopefully it continues. This series scares me, the Nationals are too good to continue playing like this much longer.

    On the other hand the Reds have won a single game on the road this year. Nats fans should be scared too.

    and the Reds are too good to continue their awful performance on the road.

    So the Reds have lost 5 straight road games, while the Nats are riding a 6-game home losing streak. Something has to give. Gio has indeed struggled this year, but he is always tough against the Reds. In three career starts against us, he's 1-0, allowing only two earned runs in 19 innings, while striking out 25 and walking just 5. Choo hits him well though, so hopefully he'll get us off to a good start and ignite some offense. Time to get some road wins.

    Why not Xavier Paul against the right hander?

    Probably because Gio Gonzalez is left handed......

    Okay, so obviously the next question is "Why isn't Gio Gonzalez right handed?"

    Find and ask Raisor. He won a Nobel Prize on that very subject.

    His father/coach knew there was good money to be made and forced him to throw lefty?

    Actually, it's "why is Gio Gonzalez listed in the lineup as (R)"?

    I hate playing games with teams that were just swept. I'd much rather face a team that lost or won 2 of 3.

    Oh, and to answer your next question - the other three Nobel Prizes were won for the Drinking Bird, invention of the Lava Lamp, and how to remove your pants with no hands
