I'm going to preface this post and mention that my post about Dibble's comments came from a passion for this team and a protection instinct over its players because... well just because. I felt he was prematurely wrong with his 'be tough' statements, and I don't have any desire to hate on anyone. No matter how much he tries to backpedal and change the original context - which is apparently still the fault of the internet. But he's not the ... Continue Reading

Whoosh! That's the remaining air rushing out of the Nats season after their shiny new toy that filled seats both at home and on the road went on the 15-day disabled list for the 2nd time in a month. Let's face it - Strasburg is a mere mortal, not a superhero bestowed unnatural powers by the hopes and dreams of fans following this team.

Naturally, the ultimate goal is to make it to the big club and ... Continue Reading

Jordan Zimmermann will make another start in Woodbridge tomorrow (Wednesday) for the Potomac Nationals. I highly recommend visiting the "baby Nats" and taking in a game there while the big Nats are on this incredibly long road trip. It nets you an in-person baseball fix and you get to see a starter of Natsmas past and future. Scott Olsen will also be rehabbing with the Potomac club this weekend, but sadly when the P-Nats are the visiting team at Winston-Salem. So ... Continue Reading
