Arbitration run-down: everybody eligible except John Lannan and Michael Morse (Nationals Journal, The Post) have agreed to contracts. Payroll is up above $70 million. Neither of those guys needs to be locked-up long-term in my mind.

I was unable to get to yesterday’s Washington Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves game and from what I saw on twitter and heard over TV and from pros like Mark Zuckerman of CSN Washington, I missed a great game. The 37,000+ crowd was lively and the Nats responded with a 3-0 shutout. Is this the [...]
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: The best show in town – The Post
…I can finally devote a summer column to the finest efflorescence of that season this city has to offer: the Washington Nationals.
They are a baseball team. Not yet very good, mind you, but it matters not. When you live in a town with a great team, [...]
Last night Washington Nationals righthander¡LIVAN! threw his 50,000th career pitch. His opposite number on the Atlanta Braves, Jair Jurrjens, grounded out on that pitch, the 34th ¡LIVAN! threw of the night. He would throw 71 more over 7 innings, giving up 2 runs. He also made a difference at the plate (from Nationals vs. Braves: [...]
This morning as I reviewed articles about yesterday’s Washington Nationals 9-8 loss to the Atlanta Braves (after winning on Saturday and getting blown out on Friday), I came to the conclusion that we have probably passed the emotional high point of the 2011 season. Actually, I probably came to that conclusion a while go, but [...]
It wasn’t a great weekend for the Washington Nationals, but it ended well. After missing out on a sweep of the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night, when they blew a 5-1 lead to lose in extra innings 6 -5, the Nats continued their losing ways Friday and Saturday against the Florida Marlins. Friday night was [...]
A 9th inning rally to tie the game? An 11th inning explosion to win it? Yes, I’ll take it. The Washington Nationals are now 18-18 after taking two series in a row with a chance to sweep the Atlanta Braves tonight. If they can win in Hotlanta tonight, they would finish their road trip against [...]
Yesterday, I was looking at one of my Washington Nationals pocket schedules when I noticed the next few months are going to be tough for the Nats regardless of their opponents. Between a seemingly high number of day games and travel that includes two trips to the west coast, the Nats are not going to [...]
I’ve already covered Opening Day and the day after the day after opening day which was known as game 2 of the 2011 Washington Nationals season. Sort of, the latter there was mostly an anecdote about Larry King at embarrassing himself during an intermission of a Washington Capitals game before I was old enough to [...]
Saturday, Larry King threw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves game (Nationals Enquirer). When I heard he was going to, it reminded me of one of the first Washington Capitals games I went to back in the early 1990s. It may have been the March 15, 1991 game against the [...]
