After Obama comes a Halladay on DC's opening day

Baseball Betting Lines

04/04/2010 -

WASHINGTON (AP) -The Washington Nationals found perhaps the only pitcher who can trump Roy Halladay's debut with the Philadelphia Phillies.

He's a lefty without a whole lot of experience, and one of his big recent victories came by the eye-popping score of 219-212.

Of course, that was a health care vote in the House of Representatives, not a baseball outing. The left-hander is President Barack Obama, who will mark the 100th anniversary of presidential first pitches by performing the ceremonial duty Monday at Nationals Park.

``I'm going to be talking to him in the cage. I'm going to be warming him up,'' Nationals catcher Ivan Rodriguez said. ``I'm going to take a picture with him, if he'll let me. It'll be exciting.''Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
