Stephen Strasburg will be introduced as a Washington National this afternoon in what promises to be the most exciting day at Nationals Park since opening night.

To celebrate the anointment of the young pitcher, the Nationals are offering $1 tickets to the first 1,000 walk up fans between noon and two this afternoon. While that may be an indictment on how terrible Nationals tickets are selling, it is at the least an gesture from the ownership that perhaps things will start to turn around in the way this club is run.

The Nationals also offered $1 tickets to order on Wednesday, and within three hours 6,000 tickets were sold. I’m starting to think this may just be ploy to convince Strasburg we have regularly attending fans.

Everyone is excited for Strasburg’s arrival, EVEN JIM BOWDEN:

The Strasburg excitement has hit twitter as well. Here are some of the best under the thread “Stephen Strasburg is so good that:”

DArkMEATHOOK #strasburgissogood he will strike out the side in 9 pitches, 9 times during his first game

kevin_reiss #strasburgissogood he convinced his death panel to kill themselves

mstovall RT @NatsEnquirer: #strasburgissogood #nats will change name to Strasionals. Dunn will take the field wearing a "Strasinals" jersey.

andreekless #strasburgissogood that somehow Teddy is actually leading in the 2009 President's Race standings..

dougchapinjr #strasburgissogood that Smiley Gonzalez will actually be sixteen again

Manny_Acta #strasburgissogood That I could competently coach a team with him on the roster.

Lastly, check out Adam Dunn’s overwhelming excitement for the debut of Stephen Strasburg. Mr. Personality can hardly contain himself:

"After they didn't sign Crow last year." ??

Am I missing something, or did he knowingly pick a player that he knew he didn't either A) have the authority or B) the balls to sign and then push it off on a Franchise he tried to Bud-Selig as you put it in today's post.
