(Photo of Scott Olsen on TV by Nationals Enquirer Staff. Maybe Jim Bowden knew what he was doing?) "When Manny walked off the mound in the eighth, I heard 'em." (Scott Olsen, via Washington Post, 7/5/2009) Braves Tasered by Olsen. Nats 5, Braves 3: Olsen solid again, almost finished what he started. Phew! Raise your hand if you were convinced Mike MacDougal was going to blow it for Scott Olsen in the 9th. Raise your hand if you feel dumb for making Nyjer Morgan/Nook Logan jokes last week. Congratulations to Ryan Zimmerman, All Star (it had to be someone). 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...

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

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...
