Yes, journalism is supposed to be a very neutral game, but let's be honest.... There are some people in the media who love the Nats. Who is your favorite writer to read? There are some reporters throwing out some awesome opinion pieces about the Nationals. They bring our favorite little catchphrase "NATITUDE" to life

I didn't include Kilgore, Zuckerman, Comack, etc since they usually provide straight up analysis. They all do a great job.

I included some great pieces by the choices above. Feel free to add in any names. Steinberg and Boswell are my early favorites, but Charles Krauthammer has dropped "That's a Clown Question Bro" on national TV and Wolf Blitzer is Wolf Blitzer.

Wolf Blitzer = "Ignite Your NATITUDE" http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=21144927&topic_id=7617268&c_id=was
    -Limited options, but the guy is a big time fan and brings the hashtag of "Natitude" to a very large Twitter audience.

Thomas Boswell = "2012: The year baseball went National in Washington" http://www.washingtonpost.com/2012-the-year-baseball-went-national-in-washington/2012/10/03/75f956d2-0d80-11e2-a310-2363842b7057_story.html
     -When Boswell brings the sunshine, he brings it with force.

Charles Krauthammer = "The Joy of Winning" http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-joy-of-winning/2012/05/24/gJQAnUjAoU_story.html
     -A Nationals Park regular. Wrote an equal article about losing a couple years back. Wish he'd write more about Nationals.

Dan Steinberg = http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2012/10/04/columnist-urges-baseball-fans-to-root-against-the-nats/
    -Not sure if Steinberg loves the Nats or just the endless material he is provided.

Yes, this is a random topic. We have to pass the off days somehow.
