Spring may not have arrived in the mid-Atlantic region just yet, but down in Viera, Fla. — where the Nationals have been training for the past few weeks — it’s practically summer. Good thing, because the ex-Expos play their first game with an interlocking D.C. on their uniforms there tomorrow, against the New York Metropolitans (but against Tom Glavine, not Pedro).

Game time is 1:05 p.m. Weather should be 62 degrees and partly cloudy. If you have to work, you can listen to it online. If you’re lucky to be at home you can watch it on ESPN for free (although you would have had to pay the cable bill first).

Here’s the line-up, courtesy manager Frank Robinson via MLB.com:

1) Endy Chavez (CF)
2) Cristian Guzman (SS)
3) Jose Vidro (2B)
4) Jose Guillen (RF)
5) Brad Wilkerson (LF)
6) Vinny Castilla (3B)
7) Nick Johnson (1B)
8) Brian Schneider (C)
9) Tony Armas Jr. (SP)

For the first two innings, the oft-injured Armas will do something he hasn’t done much for a few years: pitch. Michael Hinckley, Jon Rauch, T.J. Tucker and Gary Majewski will divide up the remaining innings.

Meanwhile, Wilkerson tells MLB.com’s Bill Ladson: “It’s going to be totally different for this year — in a good way. I’m looking forward to it and I know our team is looking forward to it. Tomorrow is going to be the start of it.” Sure, but the start of what? A good way like what? Tune in and see for yourself.
