Sorry it wasn't. Moose outside shoulda told ya.
This is what the offense looks like when Wood and Abrams aren't hot. Pretty terrible, right? Let's hope neither gets injured.
The Nats have a record that looks pretty typical of a blah team. They get beat, but now blown away, by good teams and hold their own against everyone else. But it's still early enough I wouldn't read into that. I mean, they play the Cubs now instead of the first three games when things are really anyone's game and you don't expect them to take the series. We'll see but the back half of May is shaping up to possibly be the important run. Four more games versus the Mets - who if they are every going to get back in it will have had to go on a little run into those, three against Atlanta, three against a perfectly cromulent Cleveland team, and three against San Diego. I feel like where they stand at the end of that will be a pretty good indicator of the season as a whole.
But before that they got the Twins (bad but a little unlucky), Marlins (.500 ish), the Reds (maybe the luckiest team in baseball but the tides been turning recently), and the Orioles (stink!). This is the sort of run you want to end up better than you started if you aren't among the worst teams in the game.
The Nats grabbed another arm - Zak Kent. Just sort of a guy who can miss some bats.
This is a real quickie this time. That's it.
