Nats don’t sign Prince Fielder to a stupid contract

The Hot Stove has gone cold for the Washington Nationals — Prince Fielder, the biggest free agent left, signed with the “mystery team” — the Detroit Tigers . The terms 9 years, $214 million for a player who weighs 275 lbs and has “early onset old player skills” written all over him. Good luck Tigers, [...]

Nats all-time stats will blow your mind (not in a good way for the most part)

The Nats’ (updated) all-time stat leaders – Nats Insider
Going all the way back to 2005, Mark Zuckerman compiled the Washington Nationals all-time statistical leaders. He provided this warning:
WARNING: Reading these lists will elicit a wide range of emotions, from smiles to frowns to laughter to tears to sheer dumbfoundedness (and yes, I know that’s not [...]

Zimmerman scores winning run in 11th inning Nats win over Astros

The Houston Astros’ Lucas Harrell did the safest thing they could do when Washington Nationals 3B Ryan Zimmerman came up to bat in bottom of the 11th inning. He walked him. Better to give Zimmerman one base rather than let him take all four as he has some many times — he earned the nickname [...]

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. [...]

Nats: Walking Roger Bernadina to get to Ryan Zimmerman with the bases loaded in the 9th?! BRILLIANT, Mets!

Like Charles Krauthammer said, “you go for the moments.”
The Washington Nationals just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat which they previously snatched from the jaws of victory. Who were they playing? The New York Mets of course!
Entering the 9th, the Nats were down 7-6 to the Mets with 8-9-1 in the batting order coming [...]

Nats: Ryan Zimmerman wants a big contract and I want the Lerners to give it to him

Ryan Zimmerman contract negotiations with Nationals colored by comeback from injury – The Post
Washington Nationals 3B Ryan Zimmerman is signed through through the 2013 season and he would like to sign a contract extension before then. I wouldn’t mind it either, but it isn’t going to happen this offseason. Zimmerman’s latest stint on the DL [...]

Nats take Phillies series on HBP in the 10th

WASHINGTON, D.C. — “They are just lulling you into a false sense of confidence,” I kept saying to Philadelphia Philles fans seated in the section I moved down to after an epic rain delay. Down 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth after Drew Storen allowed a run in the top of the frame, the [...]

Nats: Mr. Walkoff returns! Ryan Zimmerman’s grand slam beats Phillies 8-4

Yesterday, I was thinking about how pathetic Ryan Zimmerman’s Walk-Off total was in 2011. Foolishly, I didn’t tweet it, Facebook it, etc.
The Washington Nationals scored two runs in ninth and loaded the bases. Zimmerman had a 3-2 count with two outs in the bottom of the ninth with , game tied with Ryan [...]

Detwiler pitches well, but Nats rally falls short in 2-1 loss to Reds

Yesterday morning, I had a little twitter conversation with a college classmate, Kyle, about the Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds series:
@doubleuefwhy: Nats won game 1 of the #Reds series which means they probably lose the next 2, right? http://ow.ly/65kju Also, DINGUHZ
@NLP49: @doubleuefwhy If it’s a close game Nats will win. Reds far back of [...]

Nats win first game of series which means they probably lose the next two, right?

Awesome, the Washington Nationals beat the Cincinnati Reds last night, 6-4. Chien Ming Wang got the win, despite giving up a lot of fly balls because he was “too strong” and his sinker wouldn’t sink (The Post) and 4 runs. Ryan Zimmerman (who called it in the dugout according to The Wash. Examiner) and Michael [...]
