The Nats are looking for real and like we'll be there until the end. We need a big bat to drive in runs though.

We'll find out in the World Series this year.

East running both leagues shout out to the Braves and Rays fans

That or the AL East. It's close.

 

[Food Mane]

No, it's not close. The al east is the best division in sports.

Because they can't defend Werth's and feel the need to stand up for something

So you just gonna change your prior stance?

It's a good deal for both, but as with most big contracts ALL of the risk is on the team's side.

it is not a bad deal at all. Most of us were adamant about Werth being a bad deal from the jump too.

Who gives a shyt..this ain't football

No, it's not close. The al east is the best division in sports.

I was gonna laugh at this but you're serious........

There are 6 AL teams with a PLUS run differential. 5 of those 6 are in the AL East.

Good point. So really:

East running both leagues

Anyway, I guess I jinxed my boys, they dropped two to the Red Sox as soon as I made this thread.

Should Strasburg's arm weakness be a concern?:

Stephen Strasburg was pulled from Sunday's game after five innings and 90 pitches at Nationals Park because of tightness in his golden right arm.

After the Nationals' 9-3 victory over the Orioles, Nats manager Davey Johnson called the problem tightness in Strasburg's right biceps. Strasburg emphatically said it was general arm fatigue.

To be fair:

"It wasn't my biceps," Strasburg responded when asked about the problem after a game in which he hit his first Major League home run, a back-to-back shot with two outs in the fourth inning behind catcher Jesus Flores. "It had nothing to do with my elbow or anything. It was just normal fatigue. It got a little tired, got a little tight. But that's nothing different than any other outing. It's probably going to be like this for the rest of the year. It's part of coming back from Tommy John, building up the innings. It's something I've just got to be smart about."
