Death, taxes, and the Marlins beating the Nationals

(Dear Davey Johnson, Please stop pitching to Giancarlo Stanton. Sincerely, NatsTown. Screencap via MASN)

"We hit a hot team at the wrong time. We’re still in first place. We have to go out there Friday and say: We’re still in first place. We’re still the team to beat."
(Ross Detwiler, via Washington Post, 5/31/2012)

Marlins 5, Nationals 3: Johnson beats Wang. Marlins sweep Nats.

Make that: 49 wins, 81 losses against the Marlins since 2005...

Silver lining: Nats still in first place by 1/2 game. Finish road trip 5-4.

MLB.com gets in on the Wang puns: "Nats can't pick up Wang after short first start"

Bryce Harper's hitting streak ends at 9 games.
