The second half of the season begins today. The Nationals are currently 53-35 in first place in the NL East, three games ahead of the New York Mets.

The all-star break couldn't have come at a worse time for us, as we were 10-1 in July, and the hottest team in baseball.

Some tough decisions at the start of the second half, John Lannan was sent down to AAA, and Ben Sheets was activated from the DL. We'll open the second half with a rotation of Sheets, Jordan Zimmerman, Jair Jurrjens, Josh Towers, and Scott Olsen.

Down in AAA, the Syracuse Chiefs are also winning their division with a 55-38 record. It goes downhill from there, as they are our only minor league team with a winning record.

The AL won the all-star game 6-5. All of our guys got in the game, Elijah Dukes was 1-4 with a walk, Adam Dunn went 0-1, and Will Ohman pitched a scoreless third inning.

A couple of transactions to start the second half, Ben Sheets was activated from the DL, and John Lannan was optioned to AAA.
