Rainy days and Thursdays and Nats closers lying in pieces on the ground

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The rain that had people tubing down US 29/50 in Fairfax was playing havoc with the Washington Nationals. Two days earlier, they somehow got Stephen Strasburg’s start in against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but lost after a rain delay. The previous day’s game was postponed until yesterday as part of a doubleheader. [...]

Invest in Nats ticket futures right now

Once again, a Washington Nationals weekday afternoon game is in danger of being rained out. This happened back in May when the Pittsburgh Pirates were in town. Like that day in May, there are $2 tickets available for the game. If the game gets rained out, I you can exchange today’s ticket for a future [...]

Strasburg returns, but Nats squander lead, lose 7-3 to Dodgers

After a day of hand-wringing over the weather, the ominous skies above Nationals Park remained threatened rain, but held off long enough for Stephen Strasburg to make his long-awaited return to the Washington Nationals. The Nats fans who braved the elements and uncertainty were rewarded with 5 innings of shutout baseball from Strasburg who pitched [...]

Is Charles Krauthammer embracing “the soft bigotry of low expectations” for the Nats?

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, [...]

Nats: Slugging John Lannan

Charlie Slowes had a prescient opening to John Lannan’s second inning at-bat last night, “and now, here comes slugging John Lannan.” The Washington Nationals lefthander and American Hero came to the plate in the second inning leading 1-0 with Ian Desmond on first after a 2-out single. Lannan, who has never been feared for his [...]

Nats visit the bankrupt L.A. Dodgers, which is bizarre to type

Washington Nationals baseball returns tonight, but possibly after your bedtime. First pitch from Los Angeles is 10:05 p.m. EDT. You have special dispensation to listen to the Dodgers feed for the first three innings when Vin Scully is calling the game. I know I will at some point this weekend and then, hopefully, back [...]

Nats: Is Jason Marquis on waivers yet?

Jason Marquis made his first Washington Nationals start since April and promptly gave up four runs to the host Los Angeles Dodgers. The Post gamer has a strong lead about Marquis struggles. 2 walks and an error helped put the Nats in a hole they could not crawl out of yesterday. At least Michael Morse [...]

Nats: I am so glad Cristian Guzman was traded

Going down the Shore the day of the trade deadline is curious timing for someone who blogs about the Washington Nationals as much as I do, but I am not complaining. It is the one week of the year that I am never online. In fact, the television at the house we rented in [...]

Is it too early to believe in the 2010 Washington Nationals?

Yesterday’s Washington Nationals 1-0 victory of the Los Angeles Dodgers (The Post) came on a warm, sunny day that was supposed to be rainy. There is an emerging theme amongst the players, the beat writers (Nats Insider), columnists (The Post) and even among skeptical bloggers (Capitol Punishment) that these Nats, now 10-9 and tied for [...]

Nats fall to Dodgers hit 100 loses

Nationals Lose for 100th Time – The PostNats are at a loss for the 100th time – The Wash. Times100 losses — again. Not much more to say about that number. They fell behind 4-0 in the first and came back to tie it at 6 late, but lost 7-6 to the Dodgers.
