With the Dodgers’ slump, the Nationals could be the team to beat in the National League.

Indians/Nationals WS?

Nats in 7..Dusty Baker wins his first World Series ring.

As a Nats fan, I am a little stunned about how the season has turned out, especially with the injuries and awful bullpen we started out with.

What’s amazing is the organization’s depth. Most of their star players were on the DL for extended periods, and the replacements stepped up and continued to win. Then, most of the replacements were injured, and their replacements stepped up nicely. The Nationals won today’s game with at least five players who were in the minors at the start of the season, and three of those were in A and AA ball just last month.

You want proof that the world is coming to an end? The Jaguars, Rams, and Bills are all alone atop their divisions at this hour.

Strange season. The Dodgers have lost 10 in a row after being so hot.

And the Indians now have the best record in the AL, and are going for number 18.

Never fear, Dusty Baker will get outmanaged again in the play offs by the competition. Bruce Bochy owned him back in `12.

He’s the Marvin Lewis of baseball. Incapable of closing the post-season deal.
