Because i think both staffs are going to be pretty bad.

Washington has one starter that has had success in his career (Patterson) but he has yet to make it through a full season.
Tom Glavine may be 40 years old, but he is a pitcher that more than half the teams in the major leagues would like to have. The Nationals have no starter that can make that claim.
But you are right; they both are looking to have very tough seasons.

I have to go with the Nationals, who are firmly in the tradition of the original Washington Nationals, better known as the Senators (twice, even). Like the Bush administration, they will be last in war, last in peace and last in the NL East. In fact, the Washington pitching staff is even worse than that Frankenstein's monster assembled in Seattle -- and I am a Mariners fan! Of course, being a Mets fan too, and seeing the collapse of the Mets' pitching staff has not helped my peace of mind any.

Definately Washington. At least the Mets have a few in place like Glavine, Mayne (a #5 who will be counted on to be a #2-3), Hernandez, and when he gets back, Pedro.
Washington has one starter confirmed for the season, Jon Patterson, who is nowhere near a decent front end man, and they have pretty much a committee of has-beens and second chances running for the other rotation spots.

The Mets starting pitching is bad, no doubt about that. But Washington's staff as well as there whole team may very well be historically awful when it's all said and done.

definately washington....
their lead pitcher is John Patterson, who only pitched 40 innings last year and has been playing (practically unknown) for 5 years. Last year they only had Livan Hernandez and they even traded him away!! Even the mets have Tom Glavine and Pedro Martinez expected to come back.

Washington. They're lacking in just about EVERYTHING. They'll struggle to win 55 games. They might just struggle to win 50.
