I just want to win the NL East and post a mini-pennant. Last Washington team to finish about .500 was the miraculous Ted Williams team of 1969. They made it to 71 -66 with a 3-2 victory over the Angels in front of about 6,000 fans at RFK on September 2. The '69 team was pretty good, with Del Under leading off, and McMullen, Howard, and Epstein hitting 3/4/5. This team is much better.
