Quick Pirates/Nats Hits

Just some quick initial impressions on the Pirates/Nats series (with a little more detail when I get back from work this afternoon).

The Nats are 40-29, but playing waaay over their heads, more so than Brian Roberts and Rob Mackowiak combined.

The Nats have scored 281 runs and given up 286. That's two runs more on offense than our 279 and 6 less than our 292 given up on the flipside. The Nats are no better than a .500 team.

The Nats are 16-20 away from DC, we just won 9 of 13 on our last homestand.

Bottom line: I will be disappointed with less than 2 wins in this series.
