The Nats...

are not a good baseball team...they have terrible pitching (starters through closers), and can barely hit the ball. The management seems to know what they are doing, but that hasnt helped the on-field product. Rumors are swirling that the Manager is going to be fired, about 2 weeks after he fired the pitching coach...

Given the ineptitude of the team, all is supposed to be saved with the arrival of Stephen Strasburg. However...that is until I saw this quote about a 16 year old:

"When big Bryce Harper made the cover of Sports Illustrated two weeks ago, I knew we'd soon again be hearing from the 16-year-old 'chosen one.' But not quite this soon. On Sunday, the sophomore from Las Vegas found his way into national headlines again when his father told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Bryce will forgo his final two years of high school and use a GED to enroll in a community college this August. Though it more or less makes a mockery of our education system, the Harpers' plan would make Bryce eligible for the 2010 draft, where he could conceivably be the Nationals' No. 1 pick and eventually join forces with Stephen Strasburg to save Washington baseball from itself."

This just goes to show that DC is the laughingstock of the baseball community.
