The Greatest Baseball Preview in America: Washington Nationals

Cardinals thoughts: How in the HELL did they win the World Series last year?

WASHINTON NATIONALS

Pitching: Well, we've gone from the defending World Series champs to the team which I predict will have the worst record in baseball. Saj and I agreed that previews of some teams, due to their anemic chances in the upcoming season, will not be as lengthy as others. This is one such time.

Their pitching stinks. John Patterson and Chad Cordero will both be wearing different uniforms by August.

Hitting: Their hitting stinks. Ryan Zimmerman is a nice young ballplayer, though. Then again, so was I.

Miscellaneous: This franchise leading the league in wins in the strike-shortened 1994 season has to be one of the more overlooked baseball achievements of the last 20 years.

Nationals-related Ridiculous Proposition Bet: President Bush must be throwing out the first pitch, right? You know, there's a joke waiting to be made comparing the ineffectiveness of the National front office to the similarly ineffective Bush Administration, but I'm just not seeing it.
