Simply because NO ONE and I mean NO ONE thought we'd get close to 50 wins.

That's not really true. There were many of us that predicted more, there were journalists like Bill Ladson that actually said at the beginning of the season that said the Nats could do even better than last year's 71 wins, and there was the Vegas line that represented the smart money on betting that had the over/under at around 67 wins. Even ESPN started to report at the end of Spring training that the Nats were not as bad as some had originally thought.
