im an irrational fan who has the right to change his mind
they were done in August, and tbh they probably left it too late. This all bodes well for next season though.
Looks like the Pirates are definitely playing in the Wild Card game 
Tribe gonna make it

I don't know. Baseball is built different from other sports. Most. Teams built like the Nats have a window of 3-4 years to get it done if they have a good squad and we done used up 3.im an irrational fan who has the right to change his mind

Look at the Mets. They had that prime squad in the mid 2000's and couldn't get it done and then their window closed and look at them. They're an afterthought in our division. They wasted their contending years. Couple years ago they almost won 100 games and now they struggling to get to 70 after avering 70ish wins a year.
For them not to play Strasburg last postseason with that long term excuse, they better not hesitate to sign him to whatever long term contract he wants when he hit free agency. He already eligible for arbitration this offseason. Seem like yesterday he made his debut against the pirates.

I was thinking of this a few days ago too. He up for arbitration next year. Zimmermann is about to be a free agent in 2015, as is Desmond.
I dont think the Nationals window is short, however if they really want to contend they cannot count Werth being able to perform like he has this year ever again. They gonna have to make a decision on first base too with the season LaRouche has had. Maybe play Tyler Moore more? They are also going to have to look at Ryan Zimmernan's position too.
Bullpen is a problem as well.
And i agree, they will have to break the bank on Strasburg after last season. Im not as convinced by Strasburg as I used to be.
