Washington Nationals in the spotlight on Sunday Night Baseball

This is more than just a national audience for the Washington Nationals. This is a chance for a team that has been just okay for the past 5 years to make a statement. They can sweep their division rivals, increase their 1st place lead in the NL East, and make a statement to the Major Leagues. With a win tonight it secures that this team is forreal and is a legitamate playoff contender this year. What better way to make a statement then on Sunday Night Baseball under the lights on ESPN with commentators such as Buster Olney and Oral Hershiser. Not to mention this will be 19 year old Bryce Harpers first opportunity to be in the big spot light in front of the ESPN cameras. So, with the Washington Capitals with a day off today, rock the red tonight with the curly W and tune in tonight on ESPN at 8pm ET.
