Two depressing facts from the Elias Sports Bureau:
• Ryan Church's three-run double was the key hit in Washington's 6-4 victory over Atlanta. Entering the game, the Nationals were batting .135 with the bases loaded this season, the second-lowest average in the major leagues, ahead of only San Diego (.094).
• Washington used seven pitchers in the game, the fourth time in the major leagues this season that a team used as many as seven pitchers in a nine-inning victory. The Nationals have accounted for two of those four instances; Manny Acta used seven pitchers on April 4 against Florida, resulting in the first major-league victory of his managerial career.

But "bad" could be turned into something good....
First, I confess I've posted this link...
www.thiscouldbetheyear.net
... to a bunch of different Nats blogs. But i read it a few days ago, and it seems like a proposal that's worth supporting. (It's an open letter to Nats owner Ted Lerner.)
And no, this isn't guerrila marketing by the Nats or anyone else who could make a buck off this. I'm just a fan who stumbled on what looks like a good idea.
Thanks for whatever you can do to talk this up.
