Ryan Zimmerman will be the Nationals representative in St. Louis, and this writer is ecstatic he will be representing the team.

Progress Has Been a Mixed Bag

Via Nationals Pride  |  July 07, 2009
(by Jeff Bergin) Okay, this season is weird. Last year, the Nationals performance was terrible across nearly every measurable statistic en route to a 59-102 record.
