It's been awhile since I said anything nice about Jim Bowden. I hated the Dmitri Young and Ronnie Belliard extensions. I was not a fan of the Lastings Milledge trade. I absolutely hated the Jon Rauch trade. And did anyone mention the Aaron Crow debacle? Doesn't look too good...

MLB Rumors

Whenever a team loses 103 games and has been outscored by a total of 348 runs over the last two years, it's going to take more than one offseason for their new GM to bring the franchise back to respectability. The Nationals made a great first step by drafting, and paying, superprospect...

Going into tonight's game against Atlanta, the 1-7 Washington Nationals (with the worst record in baseball), have a big problem. Well, they have several, but of major immediate concern is the team's penchant to fall into a big hole almost immediately in every game they'...

Laugh if you want to, but it could happen. All 4 DC teams could be in the playoffs in their next season. The Nats have gotten much better after the All-Star break, especially Ryan Zimmerman. He has been on a tear lately, most recently helping the Nats top the Marlins 6-3. Wily Mo Peña...

Hope springs eternal—except for the Washington Nationals of course.
Over the past few weeks, it’s become almost impossible to find a story about the Nationals without it comparing them to the 1962 New York Mets, the poster boys for all-around baseball futility.

“The Plan” is dead. Long live “The Plan.”
After yet another embarrassing loss on Sunday, the Washington Nationals are now 26-65 and on pace to win just 46 games in 2009, a scant six more games than the miserable Mets of 1962.

Nats Triple Play

Whatever the immediate merits of the great Morgan-Burnett for Milledge-Hanrahan swap of '09 (the P-Rats clearly won the letter sweepstakes) it's hard to see this as anything but a loss for the Nationals. Nyjer Morgan and Sean Burnett may be competent major leaguers, an honest...

"Take your pick of costly mistakes, because there is no shortage from which to choose," Barry Svrluga writes in his assessment of Saturday's game. Bad pitches, poor throws, missed opportunities on the bases, and more plagued the Nats yesterday. The biggest was the passed...
