New Brooms, Clean Sweeps<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
The Nats are 8 – 4 and in first place by their lonesome.<\/p>\n

I caught the first couple of innings in the car. Charlie Slowes is really starting to grow on me.<\/p>\n

More from The Wash. Times<\/i>: Right at home<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Thomas Boswell<\/b> – Nationals, Orioles Are Getting Their Fill<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Bos is giddy, but I see no need to bring that subsidized team into the column; it kind of taints it for me.<\/p>\n
Guzman moves up in lineup<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
Cristian Guzman<\/b> is hitting .114, but was moved back to second in the order anyway. The one at-bat I heard was vintage Guzman, a groundball out on the first pitch.<\/p>\n
Dick Heller<\/b> – Something special in the works?<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
Another “how good are they?” column. This is a great start, but I have to wonder how long it can last.<\/p>\n
Tony Kornheiser<\/b> – Cluck if You Love The Nats<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Kornheiser made it to a few games and generally likes what he sees. This column was not too sarcastic, for a change.<\/p>\n
Loaiza steady in start for Nationals<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
This article says he was steady. In Boswell’s column, Loaiza said “I had nothing, but I battled.”<\/p>\n

WHAT DOES LISA TURTLE THINK ABOUT OUR NEW MASCOT?<\/h2>\n


The Newest Eagle Has Landed<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Screech is going to take some getting used to, I think, because I am not impressed yet. The childrens seem to like him though, and it is all about the childrens, at least when it comes to the mascot.
