The Nationals and Orioles are both in first place

[chaz]

Don't forget that in their first year in DC the Nats were in first place a the midway point of the season.

This is a much better team, but just sayin'.

[StoneTheCrow]

and why is it that they are so stubborn about admitting that you simply can't use Kevin Gregg?

I'd have to presume he's got a short shelf life at this point, unless he turns it around quickly.  Matusz, as well.

I'm not stubborn about that.  I think he sucks.

.  I think he sucks.

He throws darts, but his ball has no break, and that spells trouble.  I watched him for 3 years when he was in Anaheim, and I'm glad he's your problem now.

[K8teebug]

And his velocity is down.  He was heinous against the blue jays yesterday.

heinous.

LOL @ you guys discussing standings 10 games into the season.

Come on now.

Are you serious? All my Tiger friends just stopped going "OMG OMG OMG we're gonna win the World Series!"

for the Nats it makes a difference to have a good coach who commands respect! Manny Acta and Riggleman were zeros... Davey Johnson knows his stuff and everyone knows it... Angelos accepting his resignation the very day he won AL Manager of the Year honors remains one of the more incredibly stupid things he has done...and he has done many stupid things.. unless I'm wrong that was the last time the O's made the playoffs.. 1997.


However, I'm skeptical the Nats will have enough firepower to compete...I'm sure at some point Rizzo will need to get the OK from the Lerners to make a move and they're so stingy I'll be pleasantly surprised if they sign off on it.

A banner night for area sports teams.

Caps, Wiz, Nats and O's all win.

O's and Nats still in first Angels still in last.

Good game Caps.  Congrats to all the team and all the fans.

I was at the Orioles game last night.  Great game! I heart Camden Yards.

Great game, Caps!!!

I wouldn't say stingy (see Werth signing, two #1 draft picks signed, Gio, Zimmerman, etc), I would say they are practical and know what they have, and don't need to sacrifice the long-term for the short-term success they are seeing now.

But I too am skeptical they have enough firepower to compete.  Still early, but if the offense gets a little bit better and the pitching gets a little bit worse (can't get much better at this point), they are still in a good position.

I'm still shocked and in disbelief that the Caps actually won last night.  I mean, when was the last time ANY DC sports team exceeded expectations by winning something they were not supposed to when it ACTUALLY MATTERED??

I don't remember......but I've only been in the area for about 20 years...
