Go Nats! DC baseball is starting to come alive.

They seem to be the sexy pick for one of the wildcard spots in the National league. They have a strong pitching core, (this week has been awful though; grapefruit league injuries, Strasburg on a tight IP count and drama with John Lannan), Bryce Harper should be on board sometime this summer, don't see why they can't make a splash.

We still need to upgrade at the leadoff position as Ian Desmond is not that good.

Good analysis Train!

Best team in baseball.  Even though our core of hitters are mostly unkonwns, our bats are starting to come alive.  After a soft patch in July, our pitching core remains strong, and even with Strausburg shutting down for the year,  I feel that John Lannan or another one of our fine call ups will fill his role nicely.  Its World Series or bust, I wouldnt be surprised if we won the whole thing.

You won't.  If the Nats really wanted to win it all, they wouldn't shut down their ace pitcher.  Right now you'll probably defend this decision, but when you don't win it all this year you'll be thinking what might have been and you know it.
