Nieves' Injury!
Wil Nieves injured his hamstring last night in the four to two lost to the Phillies. The injury had GM Mike Rizzo make a trade with the Seattle Mariners for catcher Jaime Burke for cash considerations. Jesus Flores was put on the 60 day DL
The Lonesome Flores' BLUES!
Word has already been out our young catcher Jesus Flores injuring his shoulder. It will be approximately six months for him to recover and hopefully he will be able to participate in the middle of spring training.
We all want to see Jesus for a full year because we believe he is a decent overall catcher. But there are questions about his health! What should the Nats do? Get a more complete back up then Josh Bard and Wil Nieves? Who is out there? Do we draft the Harper fellow? There are many questions about the catching positon. I believe only time will tell. It might be Mike Rizzo most important decesion of the off season.

Nats' Nuggets 9.13.09
Here are some of my Nuggets:
- Logan Kensing should be handed his LAST pink slip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Ian Desmond should be given the oppurinity to win the the SS job in 2010.
- Cristen Guzman should embrace the 2nd Base job. He can still hit, but his range on defense is not what it once was when he was younger.
- J.D Martin is making his case to be on the 2010 starting rotation.
- Willingham, Morgan and Dukes are looking like the starting outfield in 2o10, but if Maxwell learns how to hit then I believe he could be the 4th outfielder in 2010.
Marlins Smack the Nats, 11-3.
Marlins 11 Nats 3
The Nats’ pitching gave up eleven runs while the offense only manage threes run on ten hits in the 11-3 lost to the Marlins.

Picnic at the Park
What a great day for the Season Ticket Holders with the Picnic at the Park presented by the Washington Nationals!!
The atmosphere was very positive with other Season Ticket Holders!
We had the opportunity to meet announcers, and players if we choose too! We were given vouchers for free food and we also got ice cream! YUM!
We meet players Saul Rivera and Ronnie Belliard. Belliard was especially kind to myself and my two daughters! You are one of my new favorite Nats!
We were able to get on the field and would have had the opportunity to get on the bases if the weather was better! But we were able to get on the warning track and able to feel the outfield wall!
The Nationals I thought did a great job! Thank You! Sign me up for next year! Here is some pictures from the Day!

Mike Rizzo? You should be the MAIN MAN!
The rumors are milling around that the Arizona D'Backs Jerry DiPoto will be named the new GM for the Nationals. I believe Mike Rizzo deserves better! I believe in my heart he earned the job!
He was given a very difficult situation and he done a great job! He has reformed a pitful bullpen from nothing to something which is more respected! He pulled off the Morgan/Burnett trade. He was able to work with Scott Boras to get Stephen Strasburg signed!
I believe that being said he earned the job as the GM of the Washington Nationals!
THANK YOU Mike Rizzo!

Thank You Manny Acta
I want to personally want to thank Manny Acta for his time in DC. I think he did a decent job with the hand that was dealt to him. He did it with class and was a great role model. I believe his worst asset was Jim Bowden. He did not give Manny the tools to succeed.
Best of Luck to Manny on his next job and God Bless You!
Also good luck to Jim Riggleman, but I believe his fate is already written in stone!

Nats fall apart as Rockies win 5-4.
The Nats squander a 4-1 lead in a 5-4 lost to the Rockies. Bad defense and leaving eight men on base attribute to their lost in Colorado.
Pitching:
Jordan Zimmermann did not have command like he has had in last couple of outings by lasting only 4 innings and giving up 4 runs. Jason Bergmann and Sean Burnett combined for 3 shut out innings of relief. Julian Tavarez took the lost as he gave one run in his .1 inning of work. Joe Beimel was not charged with a run but did allowed the inherited runner to score in his .2 inning of work.
Batting:
The Nats collected 12 hits and 4 runs. Josh Bard, Ryan Zimmerman, Josh Willingham and Nick Johnson all had two hits a piece. Willingham hit a solo homer which was his 10th of the year and Zimmerman hit his 14th on a 3 run shot.

The Nats might have pulled off their most exciting victory of the year as they beat the Braves 5-3 on the 4th of July! The Nats was only able to get 1 run in 7 innings against the Braves’ starter Tommy Hanson, but scored 4 runs in the 8th off the Braves’ bullpen for a 5-3 win!

The Nats collected 5 runs on only 7 hits. Adam Dunn led the Nats with two hits which included his 22nd homer of the year and 300th of his career!

Nats comeback comes up short against Braves, 9-8.
The Nats offense produced 8 runs in last night’s game versus the Atlanta Braves but it was not enough in a 9-8 lost. The Nats had the tying run on base in the 9th inning, but Josh Bard was unable to produce a game tying hit. The Nats pitching again was the main culprit in the lost.
Pitching:
Ross Detwiler only lasted 3.1 innings in his start and he gave up 5 runs and 10 hits. The bullpen did not do any better. The pen gave up 4 more runs in the lost. The play of the game was a pinch 3-run homer by Braves’ Brooks Conrad off Jesus Colome in the 7th inning who took the lost. Julian Tavarez also walked in the 9th run of the game in the 8th inning.
Batting:
The Nats collected 8 hits, and scored 8 runs. The Nats were led by Cristen Guzman’s two hits and three RBI . Adam Dunn connected on his 21st homer of the year and I must add it was a blast!
