William World News William F. Yurasko's blog v.14 – Nats, Redskins, Capitals, D.C. life, transportation, not so much Penn State anymore,

The Washington Nationals won for the 88th time in 2012 last night, defeating the New York Mets 5-3 in Flushing Meadows. On the mound for the home team was R.A. Dickey, who dominated the Nats earlier in the season and entered with 18 wins, a viable Cy Young candidate.
Bryce Harper had been 0-10 against Dickey [...]

Ugh, for me the 2010 Washington Nationals have officially become a lost cause. Sure, they have long since been eliminated from the playoffs, a winning record, a .500 record or taking the series against the cowardly Baltimore Orioles.

Resurrected Olsen revives Nats – Nats Insider
For the first time in a while, the Washington Nationals won a series, taking the first and third games of their series with the Atlanta Braves. Yesterday’s series clincher [...]

Two shutouts in a row have not helped my arguments that the Washington Nationals need to keep their heart of their order together through the next few years. Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman both came up empty driving in runs this weekend. #5 hitter Josh Willingham accounted for three of the weekend’s runs in one [...]

Would it really cost so much to do so? – Fanhouse
Strasburg had another good night for AAA Syracuse last night. He hasn’t given up a run in AAA.
