| Re: Are the Nationals really that bad? The think the other HUGE reason for bringing Dunn in was to, at the very least, give the fans the impression that the team is willing to spend some money to bring in a big name/someone to add a little excitement to the lineup. Adam Dunn isn't a superstar but at least he's someone with a big bat and a great personality, which is something this team has been lacking since Soriano (God I was a big fan of his and still wish he could have stayed!).

| Re: Are the Nationals really that bad? How about the bullpen pitching 2 1/3 scoreless, hitless, and walkless innings? Pretty impressive stuff. |

| Re: Are the Nationals really that bad? OUCH! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while...going the whole month of April without a win should have meant the entire team being sent down to the minors...that would be a travesty!

The Nats have several young arms on the farm that they are waiting to bring up, which is why I think they went after hitting as opposed to pitching. They have 2 or 3 guys at AAA that are almost ready to rock and roll. As far as Soriano goes, I didn't mention him because I don't consider him a true cleanup hitter. He has too much speed and would be more important in other spots in the lineup. In fact, he spent most of that 2006 season hitting first or third for the Nats. I think Acta has a long leash until the Front Office starts spending more money. I think Kasten realizes that it's going to take some time. But once he thinks all the pieces are in place, that leash will shorten considerably.

| Re: Are the Nationals really that bad? With only 1 win so far the Nats don't deserve another thread so I'm burying this here. FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Nationals, 3B Zimmerman agree to new contract Seems like a pretty reasonable contract to me. |

| Re: Are the Nationals really that bad? Nationals Journal - Dukes Scratched For Violating Team Rule I heard on ESPN this morning that Dukes was 5 minutes late for a meeting because he was doing some event/signings for some Little Leaguers. The team benched him (their hottest hitter now) and threatened to send him to AAA if it happens again.

| Re: Are the Nationals really that bad? LOL. Just saw it on PTI. Can't pitch, can't hit, can't spell.

| Re: Are the Nationals really that bad? The Nats have been doing this a lot this year. One of their pitchers had the "N" sewn on upside down.

| Re: Are the Nationals really that bad? And this is supposed to be a professional franchise. I have half a mind to write them a letter if I knew they had somebody that could read it. |
