Saturday night's loss to the Nationals make some other losses seem like a gourmet burger in comparison. At least with some losses, time and care is taken to make sure the thick, juicy burger is cooked all the way through, with side dishes that are delicious ... and nutritious. You can sink your teeth into some of the losses the Mets have had compared to the debacle that happened on Saturday night.Saturday night was a Big Mac in comparison.Two hours? You mean to tell me that not only did the Washington Nationals beat the Mets, but it only took them two hours to do it? I'd say that's about the equivalent of taking two "all-beef" patties that have been sitting in a tin bucket all day and putting it on some soggy bread and throwing it in a box.And the bombs that the Nationals were hitting off of John Maine put him in a pickle.Did I mention two hours? Honestly? John Lannan only needed two hours to beat the Mets? He must have been throwing cheese.(Those were sesame s...

Nats' Lannan

Helped out by all sorts of double plays and supported by three home runs, John Lannan threw his first career complete game Saturday night to lead the Washington Nationals to a 7-1 victory over the New York Mets.

'Signability' not a factor entering draft

The fact that the Washington Nationals own both the first and 10th picks in Tuesday's first-year player draft is both a blessing and a curse. No team ever has owned two top-10 picks, so the Nationals have an opportunity to acquire some really serious talent. Then again, they also face the daunting task of signing both players. They already know presumptive No. 1 pick Stephen...

Butchered.

(Photo of Adam Dunn on TV by Nationals Enquirer staff. Anybody looking for a DH?) "I'm really fed up with it. I'm tired of losing. I'm tired of it." (Ron Villone, via Washington Post, 6/6/2009) Mets 3, Nats 1: Recipe for disaster. Bad defense, bad umpiring, no offense, extra innings, and Hanrahan. That makes 3 losses...

"We were due for at least good weather."(Manny Acta, via Washington Post, 6/6/2009) Nats 7, Mets 1: Completely great! A career night for John Lannan.  It feels a little strange not to have anything to...

Nats wallop Mets 7-1

The Washington Nationals have had dozens of nights to forget, a handful to cringe at and too few like Saturday night, where so many things went right. More than 30,000 fans packed Nationals Park (though plenty of them rooted for the visiting New York Mets). The Nationals' often-deplorable defense was borderline superb, and their offense rediscovered the juice it missed in a 15-game...

Day Off on Monday and then?

The Reds have a well deserved day off on Monday. Then they have 6 more games on the road. This continues a 13 of 16 games away from GABP. The good news is that they go to the Major’s worst team, the Washington Nationals. And, then they go to the perennially bad Kansas [...]
