The Nationals are in the midst of their final homestand for the 2008 season. While there was promise with the likes of Elijah Dukes and Lastings Milledge joining, there was no expectation of a playoff run this year. Note that I didn't mention Paul LoDuca.

There's only one goal at this point. Win 5 of the last 9 games. Doing so will leave the team at 63-99, avoiding the triple digit loss stat. The Sports Freak and I are headed to tonights game. Follow me on Twitter to get live reports from the field and in the stands.

Let's go Nats!
