Nationals Will Get Better But Will Their Fans Wait For Them?

Oh, those poor Washington Nationals; no team in the major leagues has lost more games in 2009. No team has committed more errors. No team has a higher ERA. No team has more blown saves.

I thought it was no-brainer, really.   When it was announced last winter that the Washington Nationals had traded Emilio Bonifacio and a minor leaguer to the Florida Marlins for Scott Olsen and Josh Willingham, I thought the deal had brought with it two iron clad, absolute, without-a-doubt certainties.   We're talking death-and-taxes certain.   First, Scott Olsen...
