Hello from Philadelphia, where the Nats (following a day off) return to the field tonight, looking to improve to 3-0. Tim Redding on the hill against Cole Hamels. We should also get an update on the status of Chad Cordero's right shoulder, which has now had three days to rest and recover from the cortisone shot he received on Sunday. Plenty to talk about, so let's get right to your questions. As always, click on the above link to submit something, or email me directly at natsmailbag@washingtontimes.com. ...

Hi everyone, welcome back for another weekly chat on the Nats. As always, plenty to discuss with this team, from Dmitri Young's back injury to Shawn Hill's potential return to the rotation to the team's stunning ability to strand the bases loaded (nine times in eight games already). I'll do my best to answer everyone's questions -- please send them to natsmailbag@washingtontimes.com, or click on the above link to submit it directly through the website. Let's get started...

Hi everyone, thanks for joining in for another weekly Nats live chat. I'm in New York, where the Nats were quite thoroughly squashed last night by the Mets, 6-0. Nice to see Brian Schneider and Ryan Church, though they still look strange to me in blue pinstripes. Plenty to discuss, and I have a hunch there will be several questions about the Nats' lack of offense.

Hi everyone, glad to be back in the fray after a little, five-day respite. Rest assured, I've been following things closely (Goessling was on top of everything in Florida and Atlanta) and am reasonably up to speed on everything involving the Nats, who return home tonght for the start of an 11-game homestand (longest of the season). The Mets, featuring Johan Santana, Brian Schneider and Ryan Church, kick things off tonight. Plenty of topics to cover, so let's get to your questions.

Good afternoon everyone, and thanks for joining us a little earlier than usual. The Nats have the odd 4:35 p.m. start today against the Braves, so that changes our pregame schedule. Plenty, as always, to talk about. Ryan Zimmerman busted out of his slump last night. The Nats have won four of five and five of seven. And then there's Chad Cordero, who appears headed back to the DL.
