The Washington Nationals 2007 Season Thread | Thread profile

Well, I went to the game last night only to witness Jason Simontacchi get beat about the head and face for 4 innings. Then the bullpen got beat about the head and face for 5 innings. The team has been playing a lot better, but not yesterday! And I've had it with RFK. I was an apologist for the first two years, but no longer. It sucks, and I can't wait until they move into the new park!

Hey, this thread deserves a bump. Hats off to the Nats for putting together a very respectable season, all things considered. Is it possible to vote for Randy St. Claire for MVP? BTW, I plan to catch a game in Philadelphia tonight. It's against the Braves, but I'm looking forward to feeling the energy in the park as the Phillies look to unseat the Mets.

Last in the division AND last in the league. Tied with Kansas City for last place in the whole of the majors. Thanks, guys!

I'll be at the game as well, Frank. Should be a fun evening -- probably the "most important" baseball game I've attended in my life, if baseball were actually important.

I don't think they're going to be historically bad. Zimmerman, Kearns, Schneider, Lopez, Church, Johnson (if he returns), Belliard, and maybe Young won't be a historically bad offense. And the bullpen is servicable. That starting pitching though is just awful though whn you get past Patterson. The big ballpark may hide some of that awfulness, but they're going to get hit around a lot on the road. I'm thinking right...

The Washington Nationals are a disaster. If they were in the AL East or AL Central, they'd lose 125+ games. As it, they're going to be flirting with 110-120 losses.Christian Guzman is out there starting at SS? For a major league ballclub? What, was Neifi Perez not available? John Patterson is the number one pitcher, and there is a significant drop-off after him? Poor Ryan Zimmerman. How many years is he going to be shackled to this...

The move to Washington gave me the impression they would grow better than in...
