2007 Nats Vs. Conventional Wisdom at Start of Season (Including This Blog Feature): 1-0
Parsing the Win: Fourth place! Fourth place! Why do you have that smile on your face? Because the NATS ARE FINALLY NOT A LAST-PLACE TEAM! We will hurt your pitchers! We will inspire others to set a “Bunch of singles and unnecessary dives” to rap music! We have the greatest T-shirts in the Mid-Atlantic! And as opposed to frilly-underthing teams like the Braves, our bloggers freaking care. In your face, Florida!
