Its simple. Defense and pitching win championships. Offense wins all star games. There is no way a guy hitting .220 should be voted into the all star game. Now there are two : Soriano and Rollins. I would feel OK with Rollins at SS because he is great defensively and that's the one defensive position, other than pitcher and catcher, that can control the game. Its not a popularity conte

As a lifelong Reds fan, I really enjoyed watching Adam Dunn crush homers over the last 8 seasons. Now that he is gone and crushing them in Washington, I was hoping to see him as the Nationals representitive at

With Strasburg drafted and hopefully to be signed, the focus turns to next years draft, where the Nats figure to have the #1 overall pick yet again...
With the disgusting precedent recently announced that Bryce Harper is going to forgo his final two years of HIGH SCHOOL, the news that his father dropped shortly thereafter bears watching... He apparently will earn his GED and atten

why does it seem like when the nats score 10 they give up 11 and when they give up 1 they are shutout.

I'm a Nationals fan who now lives over seas. I get very little in the way of American sports on TV here, and oddly enough, what I do get, is not often the Nationals game. I"m hoping some the the Nats fans in the states, the ones that can watch everyday, can give me a feel for where the team stands

The "experts" are predicting that Manny Acta's days are numbered as manager of the Washington Nationals. Let's hope that the Lerners and Stan Kasten aren't listining to them. Fossils such as Bobby Valentine have mentioned as possible replacements. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Jim Fregosi! Rep

As a Reds fan I hated to see Adam Dunn go but the Reds wanted to become a different team. As I suspected, he needed to be surrounded by better hitters than he was in Cincinnati. He was pitched around a lot, and more often than not had to take a walk or swing at the pitcher

As an SDSU grad student, I can say that as bad as your season is, your outlook will look much better when Stephen Strasburg is pitching for you. It'll probably be this year, and he'll be your opening day starter next year. I ask National Nation to PLEASE NOT OVERUSE HIM...and occasionally give him some run support.&n

So, with St. Claire canned, clearly ineffective, what's next? Acta? Seems that the Nats offense is pretty solid. Maybe call up and audition some more pitchers?
You only have three pitchers on the entire staff with an ERA under five, Ron Villone, newly acquired, and doing well,

The Good:
Ryan Zimmerman. Signed sealed delivered. Dukes should be the next target in the off season. This is how the Indians kept that team together in the 90s.
The heart of the lineup. Guzman, a heathly Johnson, Zimm, The Donkey, Dukes, Flores ad

XM is going down for the count with non-talents like Dibble and "Daffy Duck" Jody Mc Donald..
I have always been in awe with how DC was awarded a franchise without a foundation of experienced success oriented management. Jim Bowden never did anything to justify his position, not to mention making him the initial hire...and lo and behold he

I heard the Nationals signed Pitcher Storen who they took in the first round at pick # 10, he is believed to be a solid pitcher who they think will be thier closer of the future. Most people think he will be on the Nationals team in the majors toward the end of this season. I figure he will start in either AA or AAA to get some e

With Flores going to be out for a long time or the entire season, is there any reason why we wouldn't put Willingham back there a couple days a week with Bard so we can keep his bat in the lineup? He came up as a catcher with Florida?
