Are These Guys For Real?

Ok, so its only 1 game and 7 1/2 innings but the Nationals look like a club who may make some noise this year. It was almost a storybook type of game last night when the Nats won on a game winning walk off homerun on opening night at a new ballpark from their only star player. Thats the kind of shit that is only seen in movies...now i look at the Nats news (conveniently located on this here page) and see that the Nats are up on the Phillies 6-3. I think these guys are serious.

With the excitement and energy of a new ballpark, one of the better bullpens in baseball, a star player who is has managed to make late inning heroics his curtain call, a rejuvenated and healthy Christan Guzman and the return on Nick Johnson could very well be the ingredients to the first winning season in Nationals history.

Now I know baseball is 162 game season and we are barely through 2 games, but I think I'm starting to believe that maybe these guys can do something this year. I'll probably regret this post in about a month when they are on a 13 game losing streak, but heres hoping I won't.
