Previous: Collin Balester provides some relief
Next: Mark Lerner on Stan Kasten, Stephen Strasburg and the Phillies
Man, Desmond in the 3 hole night after night not hitting is not helping the Nats. Despite his very nice August, the kid is not a 3 hole hitter. Not sure we have much choice given the roster, but against a tough RHP in Oswalt, why not Dunn at 3 and the switch Espinoza in the 2 hole with Morse and berndina going 4 and 5?

I played on little league teams with more talent, top to bottom, in a line up than what the Natinals are throwing out there on a nightly basis.
No wonder all 19 of the Natinal fans don't come to games and leave all the tickets to Philly fans.

Wasn't Poopy on here last week saying the Orioles would pass the Nats in the standings? Nats have 5 more wins as we speak. Nats magic # is 1.

What?!? The season's not over yet?!?
My final ticket on my 20-game plan is tonight, but I haven't decided whether to go or not.
