If you could deal Haren to a contender based on his performance post All Star Break, that would be a real coup.

i fully expect that to happen

hes not gonna be back next year, and hes pitching incredibly lately, so rizzo would be a fool not to try to get something for him now. i think the only thing preventing it is misguided hope that this season isnt over for the nats yet

It's not! They're only 15 games out of the wild card spot! And 95 out of the division! With like 20 games left or something!


WE GOT THIS!!! #HTTR

i was surprised to see they are 7 games out and 31 games left on a super easy schedule.

7 is a lot to do... The offense has woken up, even if it has been against a train of weak teams. Maybe their confidence is coming back with the pummeling they've been laying on some of these teams.

4 game winning streak?
Season high 6 games over .500?
21-9 in the last 30?
6 games out of the wild card with 18 to go?
Jayson Werth hitting out of his mind?
Denard Span 21 game hitting streak?
Bam Bam back in the line-up tonight?
Eh?

Who is Bam Bam and why would he let people call him that?

I think this was the best take I saw on this sentiment.  Plus they're selling playoff tickets...

another way to spin it.

6 games out, after being 7 games out on August 28 when I posted.  That's a two week spread of time.

At this rate, they'll catch the pirates in 12 weeks!

Plus a third of the remaining games for the Pirates and the Reds are against each other, so unless one team sweeps, it's tough to gain ground on either team.

Cubs, Brewers, Astros, Mets, and Padres are the remaining teams they face.  But stranger things have happened, especially in the last two years.

Bryce Harper... I believe Jayson Werth coined the phrase last year after he slammed his bat against a wall last year and it broke and slammed him in the face and cut him open. Silly rookies.

Fire the manager?

Just as kind of a ceremonial apology to the fans for failing them this year?

I think he's retiring anyway, right?

Yeah, but that doesn't make the fans, who spent their hard earned dough on tickets and overpriced beer, feel any better. Some sort of gesture is needed, like firing the manager. This is DC. We're entitled.
