Gio Gonzalez pitching in World Baseball Classic to appease MLB following possible PED links is my favorite conspiracy theory of 2013 Nats

Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez will pitch in Bud Selig’s World Baseball Classic (Nationals Journal, The Post) for the United States team. This comes a few weeks after the Miami New Times reported he name came up on scraps of paper at a “weight-loss” clinic that is suspected of providing performance enhancing drugs.

I’m not taking the Nats elimination too hard (maybe I should be?)

The end of the Washington Nationals 2012 season in the final game of the NLDS was sudden and cruel for the team and fans. An early 6-0 lead powered by a Jayson Werth lead-off double, a Bryce Harper triple and later a home run, along with homers from Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Morse had the [...]

Nats take Mets series, biggest series of the season starts against Braves tonight

While a sweep is always preferable, the Washington Nationals still “beat the Mets, beat the Mets” twice in this weekend’s three game series. By the way, I can’t say enough how attractive the series looks, particularly when the Nats wear their home whites. Take a look during Michael Morse’s grand slam (first of the year [...]
