Hey, a Nats post!

Since I last blogged about the Washington Nationals, they finished 6-5 on a western swing, splitting with the Arizona Diamondbacks (lots of HBP on both sides), losing 2 of 3 to the San Francisco Giants and taking 3 of 4 from the San Diego Padres.

Despite living in Southern California, Jason Woodmansee is a name familar to DC sports. The George Washington University grad has gained attention for his Stop Shuler web site which made the case that Heath Shuler shoudn’t be elected to Congress because of being a bad Redskins quarterback.

Nats lose 7-1, but still take Padres series

Okay, this loss is on me. Earlier in the day I was writing in my mind this morning’s Washington Nationals post about how they “exposed” the San Diego Padres pitching rotation.
