Not trading Soriano or Dunn.

Great offseason thread, this can wait for tomorrow.

When I had the chorizo (spicy sausage) and peppers during the 2005 inaugural game. Let's just say I had to miss a couple of innings.

This haunts Williams forever. (and Storen) (and us)...unless we win the next 3 games.

I think Storen is just damaged goods at this point. He'll get traded or cut, latch on somewhere else, find his motivation and become a great reliever. This organization freaked him up good.

Storen was great this year. He's already a good reliever. I say he stays with the Nats.

The fact is Storen plain sucks when he doesn't start with a fresh inning. I don't know why but when he comes in with runners on base... he always gives up the run.

If Williams had left Zimmermann in for another guy to get on base or worse, there would have been even more pitch forks out for him. He pulled him at the right time. The only question is whether he should have been pulled him sooner. It really shouldn't even be controversial. Zimmermann had some good pitches against that last batter, but he also air mailed one high and grooved one that was hit in the upper deck only a few feet foul.

No one in the organization screwed Storen up. It is all on him to fix. Soriano was acquired for the right reasons. Too bad he crapt the bed while he was here. Earlier in the season Storen blew a save and I said to my brother that is why he isn't the closer. He maybe just a 7 th inning guy since we have an 8th in Clip.

Storen didn't blow any saves during the year

Nine times out of 10, MW's decision to pull JZ is the right one. But somehow I can't stop thinking that had he given him one more batter, we'd be in a much much better place today.

The fact that you cite Soriano shows that you don't understand. If they had signed "In-His-Prime" Trevor Hoffman or Mariano Rivera, then yes. Soriano was no more qualified a closer than Storen.
