That's a spot-on, no nonsense column by Heyman. The Nats have been so consistent all year that everyone forgets that they are a Cinderella story along with A's and O's. I think the consensus was the Braves and Marlins would push the Phillies in 2012 but the Phils had at least a year left in them. Some pundits may have gone out on a limb to pick the Nats 2nd in the East and a WC winner, but they've so outperformed expectations all year that everyone forgets that.
