TweetWashington Nationals 2010 Year in Review
The Nationals may have had the best 69-93 season in the history of baseball in 2010, thanks in part to their two terrible seasons prior to that.

JUST A SIDE NOTE: I WON’T BE DOING FULL SPRING GAME ANALYSIS LIKE THIS EVERY GAME BECAUSE I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO WATCH THE GAME TODAY ON TV. REGULAR SEASON GAMES WILL THOUGH. There was a nice crowd on hand in Viera, Florida to see the Nationals take on the Atlanta Braves in a Grapefruit [...]
