| Can someone please tell me why the Nats struggle against teams like Philthy yet destroy teams like the Braves? |

I suspect that the Fillies play harder against the Nats. A matter of pride. The four or five time division champs against the team they never respected that is suddenly talked up all over Sports Entertainment Blather
That and:
- Harper needed that half season at AAA that he had to skip because so many hitters were injured
- Ryan Zimmerman's cortisone shot might be wearing off.
- LaRoche need to rest. Play Tyler Moore
- Missing Desmond and Morse
- Espinosa sometimes makes bad decisions (caught stealing last night in the 9th when down by two)
- Even with good pitching, they won't win if they score only two runs.
- Time for a reboot. |

Good heavens! Yes, that's me. Quoted...wow?!?
But, yes, I think it's better to be cautious with Strassburg, and even good to follow a team that has the ethics to think of Strassburg's health.
In that thread, I've been tempted to just post: "Larry Brown: George Allen run his knees off to make SB 7" |

| Nats just won their 86th game today...came back against the Marlins. Why is 86 wins significant? That's the most any Washington baseball team won in my lifetime...1969 Senators. |

2012 Nats now have 93 wins, 60 losses. The best baseball teams in Washington history, the 1924, 1925, and 1933 teams, won 92, 96, and 99 games in a 154 game season.
Gio Gonzalez has won 20 games...first time a Washington pitcher has won 20 since Bob Porterfield in about 1952 -- the year that Sammy Baugh retired.
This is fun! |

Best record in the NL. That would have won a pennant before 1968.
Somewhere, Clark Griffith is smiling, along with Walter Johnson and Bucky Harris, and many others. |
