Washington Nationals NL East CHAMPS!


DC has finally done it! There is finally a playoff feeling in the air. This town finally has a team in a big time sport that they can call the champs! The Washington Nationals won the NL East last night after an Atlanta Braves loss. The people of this area deserve to finally get a chance to feel what it is like to be in a playoff series and how intense it really is.

This team has come a far way from first being the Expos, then owned by the Major Leagues, and now they are Champions. It feels great for guys like Ryan Zimmerman who have been there every step of the way through both the ups and downs. You can tell this team is special and all of these guys have contributed to this unbelievable season from Stephen Strasburg to Steve Lombardozzi. I don't think it stops here either. Its one celebration down and three more to go.

So, start preparing yourself DMV Sports Fans we haven't experienced this in a long time. Its going to be intense starting this weekend when the Nationals hit the field for PLAYOFF baseball in October. Your Natitude should be on an all time high!
