Once again, a Washington Nationals player, this year its Michael Morse, is a candidate to be the last National League player voted into the All-Star game by fans. Last year it Ryan Zimmerman. MLB is doing a promotion (which I won’t bother linking to because I disagree with it) to link a fanbase from each [...]

Nationals vs. Orioles: Baltimore halts Washington’s winning streak at eight games – The Post
Gorzelannny rocky in return; Nats’ 8-game win streak ends – The Wash. Times
Nats’ win streak ends as O’s win, 7-4 – The Wash. Examiner
The 8-game winning streak the Washington Nationals were on came to an ugly end yesterday. They played the afternoon [...]

It was kind of a crazy game down on South Capitol Street last night, but it was yet another win for the streaking Washington Nationals. They have now won 7 in a row. Additionally, they have scored at least 6 runs in the last four games, meaning that Hard Times Cafe has a lot of [...]

Simply put, the last two games of this weekend’s Washington Nationals at Baltimore Orioles series comes down to “evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.”
That and the Nats anemic offense and the inability to hit a baseball 3 to 6 feet farther then they did a few times.
A series that began so promising on [...]

Let’s see, if Peter Angelos and the Baltimore had their way, the following would have never happened:

Nationals debut in 2005 at the Philadelphia Phillies
Brad Wilkerson hitting for the cylce in the team’s second game
The President throwing out the first pitch at the first home opener at RFK Stadium.
The 3rd base stands boucing during a Nats [...]

A big project at work and illnesses at home (we’ll be fine) have cut into time for EVERYTHING this week, so I have not been keeping up with blogging. All I have to write about is Nats Blogger Day and a week at Disney World. In the meantime, I have a few observations about the [...]

The Washington Nationals head up to the wrong end of the B/W Parkway (that’s north nationals.com Nationals Enquirer) to face the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards for the final interleague series of the season. The good guys won the last series, held in Nationals Park, 2-1 when Josh Willingham hit a walk off homer in [...]

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Nationals Park has been open for over two seasons now, but yesterday was the first time my wife was able to see a game there. Her father (who has seen a game there) had been involved in the construction of the exterior walls, so the Washington Nationals is a source of [...]

Angelos says Nats’ success is good for O’s – The Sun
Failed baseball team owner and noted Baltimoron Peter Angelos has changed his tune about the Washington Nationals.
“What’s good for the Nationals is good for MASN,” Angelos said. “That makes me happy…
The Baltimore Orioles being last in the standings makes me happy.
The one upside of historically [...]
