Well, a new baseball season is upon us and I thought it might be good to finish up my recap of last year before I give my predictions for this year.  The Nats obviously didn’t fare too well last year.  They finished 59-103.  They did show brief glimpses of hope after the All-Star break.  They changed managers, made some trades, and re-worked their entire bullpen.  Before Nyjer Morgan’s season-ending injury, they were playing pretty decent ball – three of their last four ‘mini-seasons’ ended up with 10-8, 9-9, and 9-9 records.  They had an 8-game winning streak and ended the season on a 7-game winning streak.  After signing Strasburg, Storen, and with some good free-agent pick-ups, the Nats are primed to have a better year in 2010.  Here’s the final season review:

Mini-season 1: 4-14

Mini-season 2: 7-11

Mini-season 3: 4-14

Mini-season 4: 6-12

Mini-season 5: 5-13

Mini-season 6: 10-8

Mini-season 7:  9-9

Mini-season 8: 5-13

Mini-season 9: 9-9

Final Record: 59-103
