    I put a bet down at 35-1 to win it all, inspired by a thread I saw here.

    They just hit the ball for the first time in a week, b/c of the stadium and Leakes shitty pitching.

    love the team and the young talent but the offense is non-existent and the pitching nowhere near good enough to compensate for it. IMO they don't even have the bats to get hot and strasburg is so fragile i'm sure they are holding their breathe with just about every pitch.

    They are to young... they will be good in the future, not yet though.. they wont make the playoffs, let alone go to the WS. Will be lucky to finish top three in their own division. Atl, Philly, Miami will all finish ahead of them

    Can't go to the ws winning 2-1 or 3-2 all the time. Phillies couldn't do it three of the last 4 years. Nats won't do it either.

    No team has ever been a lock to get to the WS during the regular season.

    9/6/12:

    Best record in bases:

    The Nationals (85-52), who have the best record in the majors, remained 7 1/2 games ahead of second-place Atlanta in the NL East.

    team never loses. good at everything. infield defense is awesome, no little balls sneak through, and their pitchers don't give in easily and serve up cookies for homers

    The wild card will ruin baseball again. The nationals deserve to be in the world series, but the wild card will probably strike again. The pirates will probably go on a tear, get the 2nd wildcard. Beat the Braves in the wild card playoff (you know, to avenge the 92 playoffs, even though most of the current pirates were like seven years old then). Then they'll breeze through the playoffs and find themselves in the world series wondering what the hell to do.

    Last year the Phillies looked unstoppable and the wild card cards took it away from them.

    And remember 2007? Hurdles Rockies. Hahaha.. five years later, the sequel.

    Bwahahaha. I hate the wild card.

    Nationals will WIN the World Series this year imo.

    Deep pitching staff. Gio, Zimmerman, Detwiller, Jackson.

    Line up top to bottom pounds the ball.

    Scrappy as fuk. Play great situational baseball.

    They are the best team in Baseball.
