Nationals Make a Move and Get Going<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
D. Cruz Acquired; Relievers Deliver : Nationals 3, Braves 2<\/b>
Last night the Nats got an important win in the most important series to date. They did this behind strong relief pitching (no runs allowed) after starter John Paterson<\/b> left with stomach cramps.<\/p>\n

P Jason Bergmann<\/b> got the win in relief and even scored a run.<\/p>\n

Help is on the way! The Nats acquired SS Devi Cruz<\/b> from San Francisco, which is good news for everyone but Cristian Guzman<\/b>.<\/p>\n

DICK HELLER<\/b> – MLB throws Nationals a curve<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
Baseball seems content to ignore historical precedent of opening days in the nation’s capital. The tentative schedule has the Nats opening up in New York next year. Clark Griffith II<\/b> is quoted, but who cares what he thinks? His father was cheap, racist scum who moved the original franchise to Minnesota.<\/p>\n
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER<\/b> – It Ain’t Heavy, It’s My Team<\/b><\/a> – Time<\/i>
That is, until the swoon of August makes me wonder why I cared so much<\/b>
Earlier in the year, Krauthammer wrote a column in The Post<\/i> about falling in love with the Nationals. He follows it up in Time<\/i> with this one lamenting their recent fate.<\/p>\n
MLB is thinking locally for Nats<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i><\/p>\n

Major League Baseball likely will narrow the field of bidders for the Washington Nationals by establishing a price only a few groups can meet, then choosing a winner from among them using two criteria: local ownership and minority representation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you go by what they are saying in this article, it is down to the Malek and Collins groups. USA Today Sprots Weekly<\/i> has been noting that Jeffrey Smulyan<\/b> is the frontrunner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
