The month of July is almost upon us, and baseball is about to get a little more interesting. For the most part the buyers have separated themselves from the sellers, and for the first time since 2005 the Washington Nationals are in the position of a buyer. As far as the nature of July guys there are going to be lots of rumors floating around and some of them will have the Nationals making moves that you like and others will have them making moves you dread. The best thing to do is sit back and observe what happens and to take every rumor as only a rumor and only react to what happens when it happens.
July is a hard month. Remember last year when Drew Storen for Denard Span rumors were floating around and as the deadline passed Drew Storen made his way to the mound and all the debates on the value of a closer vs. an every day centerfielder came to a silent end. The Nationals are still in need of a lead-off hitter and could use a centerfielder as Bryce Harper has made five errors in ...

Bryce Harper still could make it to first All-Star Game
Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez, and Ian Desmond are All-Stars. Bryce Harper could be too.
Go here to vote for Harper in the NL Final Vote early and often. And don't listen to Harper, who is apparently voting Chipper Jones:
"I think a Hall of Famer should be able to go to the All-Star Game his last year. If I was going to make a vote, I'd go vote for...
ALL-STAR CLASS
Chipper Jones praises Harper
Bryce Harper said he would vote for Chipper Jones and not himself for the final All-Star roster spot, so the retiring Brave went out of his way to compliment the Nationals star.
Nats place RHP Wang on DL, reinstate RHP Rodriguez
The Washington Nationals have placed right-handed pitcher Chien-Ming Wang on the 15-day disabled list and reinstated right-handed pitcher Henry Rodriguez.
The Nationals said Tuesday that Wang has a strained right hip. His move to the DL is retroactive to July 1. He is 2-3 with a 7.61 ERA in seven games this season and recently lost his spot in the starting rotation to Ross Detwiler...
Strasburg feeling rested, relaxed
Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg said he's feeling much better one day after lasting just three innings in the record-setting Atlanta heat.
Thanks to a good night's sleep at the team hotel, Strasburg looked rested and relaxed in the clubhouse on Sunday morning.
''Yeah, as soon as I got back, I just hit the mattress and passed out,'' he said with...
'New standards' for Nats: 1st place, 3 All-Stars
The Washington Nationals have reached the point where they can hold news conferences to brag about what they've done - instead of what they hope to do.
The NL East leaders put Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Ian Desmond at the featured table Tuesday to discuss their selections to the All-Star game. It's the first time Washington has sent more than one player to the classic...
Nationals are feeling the heat
Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez faced a different battle last weekend. They have been arguably the top 1-2 combination of starting pitchers in the major leagues this season, and each made the National League All-Star team. But both had to pitch through the extreme heat in Atlanta in their starts on Saturday and Sunday, something that plagued the Eastern seaboard and made life...
The Nationals and Strasburg: The Plan vs The Present
As more and more evidence becomes available to us in a variety of forums, it has become more and more apparent that coaches appear to be doing the right thing when it comes to inning limitations. Such is the case with the Nationals’ Stephen Strasburg who in only his third season out of San Diego St. has emerged into a top of the rotation arm as he was projected to be when the Nats...
Was Craig Stammen An All-Star Snub?
For the last two seasons, the Nationals’ bullpen has become synonymous with one unimportant but very remarkable thing; All Star game wins. Starting in 2010 when Matt Capps recorded the final out of the 6th inning by striking out David Ortiz, to Tyler Clippard’s one out in the bottom of the 3rd inning in 2011, Nationals’ relievers have been the winning pitcher in consecutive...
Nationals 8, Braves 4
Ryan Zimmerman homered and drove in four runs and Gio Gonzalez scuffled for his sixth straight road victory to help the Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves 8-4 Sunday in 105-degree heat.
The temperature rose four degrees from the first pitch to 105 by the middle of the eighth inning. The National Weather Service reported that Atlanta broke an all-time recorded high at 106...
Nationals 9, Giants 3
All-Star shortstop Ian Desmond hit his 14th home run, and the Washington Nationals became the latest team to beat up on Tim Lincecum, pounding the struggling right-hander hard early and often Tuesday night in a 9-3 victory.
The opener of the three-game series between first-place teams was barely a contest. Jordan Zimmermann (5-6) pitched a rain-shortened six innings and again enjoyed...
Hey Girl, Bryce Harper Probably Loves Teens Who Embarrass Themselves On YouTube
This is a picture of Washington Nationals rookie Bryce Harper with UFC ring girl/Playboy playmate Brittany Palmer.
Compare and contrast that to the following video by YouTube’s Mallory Moreno entitled, ‘If Bryce Harper Was My Boyfriend’, a Justin Bieber parody song about how awesome of a girlfriend she’d be filmed longways on a Flip with about five minutes notice. Sample...
Braves topped by Nationals in 105-degree heat
ATLANTA (AP) -- Ryan Zimmerman homered and drove in four runs and Gio Gonzalez scuffled for his sixth straight road victory to help the Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves 8-4 Sunday in 105-degree heat.
The temperature rose four degrees from the first pitch to 105 by the middle of the eighth inning. The National Weather Service reported that Atlanta broke an all-time recorded...
Series Preview: Giants And Nationals Battle To Be The NL's Best
In their first full series in July, the first-place Washington Nationals (45-32) will come home to Washington to face off against the largely successful, first-place San Francisco Giants (45-35).
Last week, the Giants took over first place with a bang worthy of Fourth of July fireworks: they swept the former first-place Los Angeles Dodgers, prevented them from scoring a single run...
Nats Talk On The Go: Episode 25
We've hit the quarter-century mark of the podcast, and it was conveniently the All-Star edition of the podcast. None-the-less, we start the podcast talking about former (and future) All-Star Ryan Zimmerman and his recent hot streak. We also talk about the current All-Stars, and we compare the 2012 Washington Nationals to the 2010 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants as...
