September 5, 200718 yr It's sad, because we are better than several of those teams ahead of us. Especially Washington, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, San Fran, and Houston. Unfortunately we haven't been playing better than them, and recently we have been getting beat up by several of those teams.

I am not sure how fair it is to say "we are better than..." but, "we haven't been playing better". As much as I hate the way the Fish are performing, if they are not playing better than ther others, they simply cannot be seen as being better.

Frankly I think the Nationals' organization has put together a very interesting team that will result in more off-season trade options than we have. I congratulate them. I'm happy for them. That doesn't mean I'm not a Marlins fan through and through or that I am envious or dispirited. Things are what they are. Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. Next season could see a complete reversal for the Marlins. Nor does it mean that the Nats GM or better than the Marlins'. Who knew da Meathooks would have the year he had or any number of other players would be playing at this level based on their past performances? While not fun for us (Marlins fans) it is what makes baseball "fun". The Nationals are respectable again. I say good job.
September 5, 200718 yr Fredi should show them that graphic and ask them how they feel about being just about the worst team in the Majors.Maybe that will give them a wake up call-we all know they are better than this but the fact is,they have been playing like putrid vomit for the last month or so.

They aren't the worst in the Majors, they are the worst in the NL. I believe the Rays have the race to the bottom won. Go state of Florida!!

Now that its this season and they are really terrible, not a peep from him. Can't say I'm surprised either way.

The gap is only 3 games and they've won 7 of their last 10 and we're freefalling so we may catch them.. or they may catch us.. depends on how you look at it.

D-Rays might catch us but I doubt we fall behind the White Soxs and Orioles (I realize we're currently behind the O's but I think we'll pass them. No Bedard = uh oh). I think they'll be 1-2, then some mix of the Pirates, Nats, us, and D-Rays for the next few spots.
September 5, 200718 yr They aren't the worst in the Majors, they are the worst in the NL. I believe the Rays have the race to the bottom won. Go state of Florida!! The Rays have also won 10 of their last 14. They are more on an upswing. We just might beat them to the bottom yet.

He's too busy cashing his revenue check at a bank in the French Riviera or some obscure Pacific Island.
September 5, 200718 yr Oftopic but I don't feel like creating another thread. So with the addition of Wily Mo Pena, can we please go after Ryan Church? He's like, the perfect platoon partner for Cody. His line this year against RHP: .275/.343/.465/.808, and is a nice defender. The Nats have a crowded OF. Next year they'll have Pena, Kearns, Young (If Nick Johnson can actually stay healthy). You have to believe that Langerhans will go back to '05/'06 form, Kory Casto might be ready by next year. Bowden doesn't seem to put any stock in OBP (See: Christian Guzman), so you might have to add Nook Logan to that list. Supposedly Bowden is also looking to sign a middle-of-the-order bat this offseason, and when you considering that they're already set at first and third, that means that it's gotta be an OFer. Several guys are going to be the odd men out and I'd love to see us jump on Church. He won't even be arbitration eligible next year, he'll be hitting arbitration the same time as most of our guys.
September 6, 200718 yr c'mon guys keep it upbeat. This team has a lot of talent, and a lot of future to it. They are still very young.
September 6, 200718 yr Hmmm.. That would really really suck if we lost 100 games this year. I don't see it happening but you never know.
September 6, 200718 yr Hmmm.. That would really really suck if we lost 100 games this year. I don't see it happening but you never know. If we go 2-20 in our last 22 games I might kill someone.

Trust me they will win 70 games this year. Next year they go on a tear and win 88-92, and win the wildcard, maybe even the division.

September 6, 200718 yr We need three more wins to avoid the century loss mark. The Nats announcers last night on XM were celebrating win # 63. Right now I am jealous :banghead
September 6, 200718 yr only if they get new management and a new pitching coach (shake up staff as well) team is talented enough, but a message needs to be sent.... You never know what will happen. Maybe Bud selig was here last week to look into what is really going on with Loria. Maybe if Loria doesn't get a deal done now that the Hurricanes are leaving Miami, Selig will get Loria out of here, and bring in another owner. Stay positive !
