Baserunning? Really? They're trailing by 5 games with 41 to play...and baserunning is going to make the difference? Is it just me or are people pining for the Braves to pass the Nats?
What I find particularly funny is this reference:
Man...why does that 2004 Red Sox team ring a bell...I just can't put my finger on it...

The Nationals are one of the worst baserunning teams in the last 5+ years according to stats on Fangraphs. The little things do tend to add up.
Having said that, I think the Nats are the better team, and will continue to prove it this week.
