Where Do The Nationals Go From Here?

The Washington Nationals, “scolded” here after a 7 game losing streak, a win but overall sloppy play, did rally in the first game and won all 3 home games vs the New York Mets, to increase their N.L. East lead.

Now the question is will the Nationals pull away, or go back to the slow pace, that has kept the Mets and Miami Marlins in the N.L. East race.

On paper, this weekend, the Nationals should, (usually not a good word especially in sports predictions), do well vs the Cincinnati Reds. Let’s see.

The only time a Washington D.C. (for that matter Washington state team as the Seattle Pilots in their one year and Mariners in their previous 38 completed seasons never have won or even appeared in a World Series) team won the World Series was in 1924, a year Calvin Coolidge won the presidential election.
