Nats Fever?

As Evan and I prepare to leave for tonight's Nats game versus the Rockies, it's hard not to get a little excited. It may not be full on 'Nats Fever' but at least we're a little warm. The recent winning streak and improved play, coupled with the Straburg signing, finally gives this franchise an actual pulse.

More importantly for Kasten and the Lerners, it's proof that their plan is actually a plan. The young talent - Zimmerman, Flores, Lannan, Dukes? - combined with the potential talent - Strasburg, Zimmermann, Detwiler, Marrero - could actually lead to a decent team.

Here's hoping the current cast of starters continue to improve next year on our way to a 75 win season. And that Strasburg pans out so that in two or three years we actually have a contending team.
