Absolutely, cannot keep trotting out automatic out McLouth anymore

Span is marginally better. Outside of Houston, Rendon has gone cold. Laroche is hurt. Desi can't hit. Espinosa has cooled off.

Worst L of the season.

Pizza today, no. Hmmm.

Yep, this team needs Ramos back and to dump McLousy.

If you need to be pinch hit for by a Espinosa it's time to consider a new profession.

Man the Negative Nancies really come out in full force even when things have started picking up for them. Mets are gonna win the division? That's just hilarious. Repeat that name and laugh with me.

The division belongs to the Nats or Braves. And honestly I'm not feeling too confident in the Braves' ability to take it this year with so many people regressing. The Marlins seem like they might have a shot, but I think they'll fall back down to Earth and finish .500 at best.

All I can say is this team will finish last in the East. They have no clue how to score 17 games so far with 3 or less runs 11 with 2 or less.

If it wasn't for the games they score 6-10 runs and blow out a team their runs per game would be awful.

This team is nowhere near 2012's team. Not even in the same dimension. The Nats will be lucky to repeat last year's 86 wins. They are equally as bad as they were last year but the division has gotten a lot better from top to bottom. We are pretty much on par with the other 4 teams.

Ramos is scheduled to play in Hagerstown tomorrow and Tuesday according the C & D.

can't beat the good teams (Brave, Cards), and lose to the Phillies and Padres...does it get any worse...if it wasn't for the Mets and Fish we would probably b one of the worst teams in the league!!! Nationals=JOKE!!!

Oh wait, it's cause of all the injuries...right? Every team deals with it and has success.....wait for it....EXCEPT THE NATS!!!! Frustrating!!! Can't wait to see what the Dodgers do to us!!!!

Bit different though. These guys will talk about how the season is over entirely after 1 game. Scoring 0-2 runs is the full on end of the world. And so on. I'm not exactly being massively negative about my team. I'm just looking at it realistically. They're just not as good as they were last season. We lost a lot and didn't do enough to replace that talent. I think 88 wins is about the max they can reach this season. Which should be good enough for the wild card.

Speaking of the Dodgers, weren't they in last place with key injuries last season until they got healthy again? Key players being out of the line up hurts the team whether it's used as an excuse or not.

Hey Tom,
How many teams would have good runs per game if you eliminated the games they scored 6-10 runs?

While it sounds silly, I get what he was saying. Basically, we score a BUNCH of runs in games that are already decided. But when we need big knocks late, we don't get them. So the stats may say we're average or something offensively, when in reality we're pretty terrible.

Think of it this way: would you rather have three games in a row scoring 4, 3, and 4, or 8, 2, and 2? The latter technically has more runs scored but the team that scores 4 3 and 4 is likely to be 2-1 if not 3-0 while the 8 2 2 is probably 1-2. Now extrapolate that over the season and you have 2013-2014 Nats offense.
