Nats 2 Bucs 1- Talk about disappointing

Well, that one kind of blew. Any time Ryan Drese holds you to one run, you should be embarassed. Well, I'm just basing that one the way we lit him up last week. He was an Opening Day starter this year, after all (OK, it was for the Rangers). I'd like to feel bad for Fogg, but it's hard when the deciding run in the game came off an error by him. Still, two runs in six is a good outing, especially with the way Fogg has been pitching (all pregame predictions calling for a severe case of the runs tonight were way off base). There was one positive from tonight, Ian Snell looked great. He went two strong innings, only giving up one hit to Junior Spivey that should not have been a hit under any circumstances (of course, Matt Lawton circumvents all circumstances). Hopefully it's some side work to get him ready for a start on Saturday.

As a side question, does anyone know how Zack Duke isn't on the 40-man roster? My friend and I were killing ourselves over this one. If he was drafted in 2001, his three years in the organization not on the 40-man would've been '02, '03, and '04. He is definitely not on the 40-man this year (and was a non-roster invitee to camp), so how is that possible without him being in the Rule V this year (when he certainly would've been a pick). Did he miss a year with injury? If he did, would that matter?
