(Quick! Someone call the DC fire department! Wait, nevermind: that's just the Nats' pregame player introductions. Screen grab of TV/MASN.)
"We had some opportunities. We didn't come through. All in all, we got the season started. The festivities on opening day were grand. Unfortunately, we were on the wrong side."

Braves 2, Nationals 0: Opening Day dud. Livo good, Lowe better. Nats had a few opportunities, but didn't come through.
Raise your hand if you'll take a clean Opening Day loss to the Braves on a miserably cold and damp day to last year's debacle against the Phillies.
Love the defense; but where's the offense?
Memo to the Nationals: Lose the smoke machine and fire cannons during pregame intros. Is this an NFL game, or a Nats game?
