Nats9: A Diehard Washington Nationals' Fan! A Blog about our beloved Nats!
I am a Washington National fan since they came to town in 2005. Nats9 comes from my favorite number,9, and no current National has the number nine so hence the name of my blog.

Yikes!!! Nats Lost seven in a row!!
I think it is important for Nats to end on a positive note these next nine days to leave with a good taste in their “mouth” that they can compete with the others in the daunting National League East.
