(AP Photo/Nick Wass. #44 provides the 4th of July Fireworks.) "It says a lot about the way the team battled back. They have been doing it the whole season. Forget about the record. These guys play hard. They put together good at-bats." (Manny Acta, via Nationals dot com, 7/4/2009) Manny Acta would like you to forget about the record. Nats 5, Braves 3: Dunn's 300th provides wakeup call in the 7th; big rally in 8th gives Lannan his 6th. Mike MacDougal is a walking heart attack in the 9th. Nats declare their independence from Gutless Jesus Colome. Welcome back Jason Bergmann; hope to see you here for longer than a week this time. Follow The Nationals Enquirer on Twitter.

Manny NOT Being Manny Leads to Win

Via Nationals Pride  |  July 05, 2009
(by Steven Ruiz) Two outs, two on, in the top of the eighth inning. Nats lead the Braves 4-1 with Scott Olsen on the mound. He has 97 pitches under his belt, and here comes Manny. We've seen this before. Another impressive performance from a Washington starter turned over to the bullpen. A walk, sandwiched by a couple of hits later, and the Nationals--suddenly--find themselves...

Attention Ladies! It’s that time of year once again when the Washington Nationals host their Baseball 101 Women’s Clinic. If you’ve been to the clinic before, you might notice that the Nationals are mixing it up a little this year. For one, it takes place on a Friday - July 17th to [...]

Nationals DFA Jesus Colome

Via MLB Trade Rumors  |  July 04, 2009
According to the Associated Press, via ESPN.com, the Nationals have designated right-handed reliever Jesus Colome for assignment.Colome, 31, had an 8.40 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 12/6 K/BB ratio in 15 innings of relief for the Nats.  He allowed 29 total baserunners during his short time in Washington and will either be traded, released or outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse within the next...

Dunn's 300th HR helps cool Braves, rookie Hanson

Via CBSSports.com  |  July 04, 2009
Atlanta's Tommy Hanson extended his scoreless innings streak to 26 before Adam Dunn's 300th career homer and the Washington Nationals rallied for four eighth-inning runs and a 5-3 victory over the Braves on Saturday.

The Braves Should be Embarrassed

Via Tomahawk Take  |  July 06, 2009
I made the argument last week that in order for the Braves to contend again, they had to keep pitching, play Prado, and stay poised.  They managed to do 2 of 3.  So they lost 2 of 3 to the pitiful Nationals, who consist of Adam Dunn, Ryan Zimmerman, and a bunch of K-Mart clerks. Tommy [...]

Missed opportunities doom Nats, Stammen

Via Washington Times  |  July 07, 2009
DENVER | Of the Washington Nationals' many two-plus-two-equals-five losses this season - the ones that seem to defy logic - few have involved a pitching performance this crafty or fielding this effective in preventing runs. The Nationals have lost plenty of games on a bullpen meltdown or a botched fly ball. But they haven't lost when one of their rookie starters weaves through...

Nats' Dunn ends rookie's streak with 300th HR

Via ESPN  |  July 04, 2009
Atlanta's Tommy Hanson extended his scoreless innings streak to 26 before Adam Dunn's 300th career homer and the Washington Nationals rallied for four eighth-inning runs and a 5-3 victory over the Braves on Saturday.

Nationals' Dunn hits 300th career home run

Via Seattle Times  |  July 04, 2009
Nationals slugger Adam Dunn hit his 300th career home run Saturday, ending Braves rookie Tommy Hanson's consecutive scoreless innings streak at 26 with the milestone blast.

From bad to worse than awful.

Via Nationals Enquirer  |  July 04, 2009
"I think everything is frustrating. I don't know how many times you can sit here and say we're better than what we are." (Adam Dunn, via Washington Post, 7/4/2009) BOOOOOOOO! Braves 9, Nationals 8: Yup, Detwiler stunk, and Colome, Villone, & Tavarez stunk out the joint again. That's 9 losses out of the last 11, but who's counting...
