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.

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.

Yeah that sucks. In it with Belliard for the long haul. Worst right side of the infield ever!

You've got my address, just bang on the door.Hoping to get a job there by spring. Nats are already my NL team so I'll have to take the abuse from those who don't understand the difference between the NL and AL. Go ahead Capella/Rude.

I still don't get the subtitle of this thread. Keep watching MASN since we get 2/3 of the profit.

Last year we were 15th in spending. This year we are 10th, but only $7mm seperates 9-15.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?

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?

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?

Changed just for you, bitterman. It was just a joke, after the manager mess. Enjoy another decade of Angeloses.

Well, 73-89. Better than expected, so we got that going for us.
Conventional wisdom is they will spend this year in FA for the opening of the new park. They won't go crazy, but they should be out there trying to grab a big piece or two. Of course, they need starting pitching and another big bat.
As of now, they are looking at a possible batting order of:
CF Logan
SS Guzman
3B Zimmerman
LF Pena
1B Young/Johnson
RF Kearns
2B Lopez
C Schneider/Flores
P ???
Who's available that they have a shot at in FA? Who in that lineup really needs to be replaced?

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....

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.

Acta did a good job of getting that undermanned team to play hard everyday. No doubt. Lots of good candidates for manager of the year though. He gets an honorable mention. Maybe next year if they make a run.
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.
