Pitching rules

In this league pitching wins divisions. Its too bad the Nats have only 2 good pitchers Strasburg and Zimmermann. And I know what you're thinking. I said yesterday That Zimermann was bad but then i looked at his stats and they are good. The Nats have pitching on the way but it will be a while. The Phillies have 4 pitchers that would be one starters on every team. Plus a pitcher Named Vance Worley who is 9-1 with a 3.67 ERA. YIKES. GO NATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a other note I read a lot of my dads posts on his blog"Carolina and Hellenic Blue" and I am sorry about the names mix up. For example Jason Coffey. Go Nats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eat it Phils!

Huge series win against the best team in baseball the Phillies. A big reason this felt so good is that the Phillies fans INVADED Nats park And to take 2 of 3 is huge. They came back on both of their wins starting with game 1 with 6 runs in the ninth capped off by a walk off slam by Zim. Then today down to their last strike a doo da dippity (home run) by Ian Desmond to tie it and Gomes with a walk off hit by pitch. EAT IT PHILLIES LETS GO NATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jayson Werthless

Jayson Werth, The 126 million dollar man is batting 223. with 12 homers and 37 RBI. If those were his stats last year Im paying him 2 million. The Nats would probably rather give 126 million to any one (except  Brian Bixler) than Jayson Werthless. Lets go Nats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nats flips rule!!!!

I have discovered a hidden gem. Its called nats flips. They are Nationals flip flops that whenever i wear them we are 14-0. Anyone remember the comeback against the m's? I put on my Nats flips. Lets go nats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zimmer...man

The face of the franchise is out till midseason with some injury he got sliding. He was scheduled to come of the DL yesterday but they said he would have to undergo surgery. And to make Every thing a little bit worse Bryce Harper is not mlb ready till 2013 so we might as well be waiting till 2013 even though well have Strasburg he wont make us a championship team as you learned from last years brief playing. man...

Here comes the season!

Great news. SPRING TRAINING! Baseball season is right around the corner and I cannot wait till March 31. This is the year the Nats will get out of last and go to 3rd. The Mets are losing money and the Fish have nothing to beat us with. Sure they have Nat killer Hanley Ramirez and Mike Stanton but they lost Dan Uggla. 

I am predicting the Nats rack up 83 wins this year, and I am positive we are going to be a World Series-champion team in 2012. We will prevail in 2012

NO nats for this post

Me and my dad in December went to a Wizards game and a Capitals game. Well, there is one HUGE difference. The attendance. Every seat was filled for the Caps game and unless it was 'dress like a seat day' there were a lot of empty seats at the Wizards game.

Also, the Caps fans are aggressive, annoying and use a lot of profanity. The Wizards fans do not do much except do the John Wall muscle. And last, the restaurants close to the stadium were stuffed for the Caps game, but for the Wizards games it looks like they are going out of buisness with the exception of the Greene Turtle

LaRoche

The big buzz in DC is that the Nats finally got a first baseman with defense. His name Is Adam LaRoche. He played for the Pirates and the D-backs before the Nats were able to get him.


The weird thing is that a day before the Nats signed him a person wrote in the Post that we can get a Adam LaRoche-like player without the Adam LaRoche price. Then the next day he was a Nat.
