Opening Day offers glimpses of Nationals' strengths, weaknesses

Brad Lidge did not expect to find himself on the mound for many ninth innings this season, certainly not on Opening Day at Wrigley Field. He signed with the Washington Nationals in late January with the understanding, despite his 223 career saves, that he would set up and provide a mentoring voice.

"Give the guy a million dollars and let him look after the kids," said Lidge, 35.

But there he was Thursday, capping an idyllic afternoon with save No. 224, finishing a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs filled with both unexpected twists and predictable themes. The Nationals stuffed their first game with story lines they could have spent their day off Friday dissecting.

In sum, potentially the best team in Nationals history took one game to validate both the highest hopes and worst fears about it. From Stephen Strasburg, Tyler Clippard and Lidge, they received the kind of dominant pitching expected to vault them toward contention. From their offense, they received a reminder of what might block them from it.

"I don't think there's ever a championship that's been won in the first game or the first month," shortstop Ian Desmond said.
