A 6-1 week, winning the last six straight, and we are now three games ahead of the Mets. I'm pleased with the team's performance. Of course, we didn't play teams with winning records, but those are the games you need to win.
The all-star game is coming up this week, and the Nationals will be represented by Will Ohman(7-2, 14 saves, 3.32 ERA), Adam Dunn(1.029 OPS, 27 HR, 76 RBI), and Elijah Dukes(.997 OPS, 20 HR, 67 RBI). A case could have been made for Ryan Zimmerman (.877, 19 HR, 66 RBI).
After the all-star break, we have a big four game series vs the Cubs. We just need to win 6 more games to equal the 2008 Nationals total. Still hard to believe we are in first still though.
