Attack of the Nats

Welcome to Attack of the Nats, keeping you updated and opinionated on all matters Nationals. We're Julia and Aaron, longtime Nats supporters. Since before the Expos came to D.C. in 2005, we've cheered on the team. In fact, we went to an Expos game in 1999 and, ever hopefully, cheered for the Washington Senators. Although the first season was turbulent, we were thrilled to have a team. Hopefully, this blog can help get them over .500. So please read, comment, and share, and go Nats!

Only 34 More Days!

Only 34 more days until pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in Viera, Florida, on Feb. 15. The Nats currently have 72 players slated to be there--surprisingly not many less than last year. It feels quite different, though, because last year anyone had a chance to make the team, and this year we have a little bit better of an idea heading into camp. There's almost no chance some guy like Dennis Tankersley will make the team this year, whereas if he were there a year ago you never know. If you get a chance, check out mlb.com's "Around the Horn" series, inspecting each team by position. There's about one a week up until ST begins. Here's the lastest one--corner infielders--for the Nats.

Everyone, please tell your friends to comment on this site if you can. We're trying to build up some healthy discussions. This should get easier after the season gets under way.
