9 wins from not being the worst team ever!
I expect them to lose many close games this year, but Saturday was just pure crap. I honestly expected better of them in the 9th.and a big thanks to the Nationals for their series win. I guess the Nationals were very impressed with Detroit saying "that is a Championship team" and "the best team we've played this year." I wonder what they thought of the Indians after being three outs away from sweeping them? Anyway, nice job D.C.
Yeah that sucks. In it with Belliard for the long haul. Worst right side of the infield ever!Cristian Guzman likely out the rest of the year. Too bad, he was playing really well.
The right side will only be around until the trading deadline, though.Yeah that sucks. In it with Belliard for the long haul. Worst right side of the infield ever!Cristian Guzman likely out the rest of the year. Too bad, he was playing really well.

Nick Johnson not recovering well? Bowden made a comment a while back about Young playing LF when Johnson came back.Why are the Nats signing Dmitri Young to a 2 yr deal? If Nick Johnson comes back next year, where does Young play? Or where does Johnson? They're both first basemen and last time I checked, there's no DH in the NL, and Johnson's a much better fielder than Young.So can someone explain this inexplicable move by Bowden to me?
This is seriously one of the dumbest moves I've seen in a long time by a GM -- and that's saying something. He could have flipped DYoung for something when DY's value is at its peak. Instead he signed him to an extension which GUARANTEES DY will be overpaid for the next two years. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.Why are the Nats signing Dmitri Young to a 2 yr deal?

And 64-64 since the middle of May, if Bowell's figures in yesterday's column are to be believed.Manny Acta should be Manager of the Year in th NL. He won't be, but he should....Well, 73-89. Better than expected, so we got that going for us.
Why do you say that?I personally think it should be Clint Hurdle or Bob Melvin. Honestly look at Arizona. Take away Randy Johnson's $9M salary (since he only made 10 starts all season) and the Diamondbacks have a 43M payroll. The Nats had a 37M payroll.And 64-64 since the middle of May, if Bowell's figures in yesterday's column are to be believed.Manny Acta should be Manager of the Year in th NL.

Acta took a team that everyone thought would lose 120 games this season, had no proven starting pitching, its best "power hitter" (Nick Johnson) out for the year with a badly broken leg, that then lost its starting SS, its "best" pitcher (John Patterson) to injuries and got them to play hard and respectably all season long.He juggled 13 different starting pitchers over the course of the season, a line-up that barely hit 100 HRs in a non-HR friendly ball park and an inconsistent closer. They essentially added no one during the season except what was down on the farm and a few waiver PUs.I agree, Melvin and Hurdle did nice jobs, but Acta should be Manager of the Year, IMHomerOpinion.Why do you say that?I personally think it should be Clint Hurdle or Bob Melvin.

And the outfield that has been suggested to me by those who would know is Milledge in left, Dukes in center - though he has played more right in the Dominican - and Kearns in right. That leaves Wily Mo Pena on the bench - for now.
Jim Bowden addressed the apparent surplus of outfielders thusly: "I think right now we look at it like we've got four really good young outfielders. ... I think we feel the players will help Manny make his decision on who is going to play. Certainly my experience has been that four outfielders ... all get playing time. Those decisions will be made in spring training, will be made on the baseball field."
He added: "With four young outfielders, if three succeed we're in good shape. If one gets hurt, we're in good shape. ... We feel comfortable with four good young outfielders that are developing."
