Halfway point and the Nats have the best record in the NL. Amazing. My Mets and Braves will hopefully catch up. Davey Johnson is doing an amazing job and the fact Zim, Werth and Morse havent really done anything or been healthy is crazy. I think the "quiet" difference makers on this team Desmond with the bat, Espinosa with his defense, and Edwin Jackson. Jackson is an innings eater and imo always an underrated pitcher. I thought that was a great move behind the brillant Gio move in the offseason.

Question, do you shut down Stausburg if your in first place come September? I dont see how you can.

Final thought on the first half, Andrew McCutchen is the MVP and best player in baseball right now. Just think of the attention if he played in a major market, but ya hear nothing about the guy. He is the man.
