With the season over for the Nationals, reviews of 2007 are everywhere. The New York Times did a piece on the Nats yesterday. It’s an exciting time in Washington, the team that was supposed to lose 130 games in 2007 played .500 from mid May to September. With a young team, its time to look to 2008. I wonder how different media predictions will be prior to 2008 Spring Training. With Manny’s optimistic attitude, and a young team that’s only on the rise, anything can happen. We love what Manny said yesterday, “Despite our shortcomings, these kids showed a lot of heart.”
These boys played every game with a determination to be better than predicted. Manny’s positive attitude was reflected on the playing field. The Free Lance-Star, says “The Nats beat the odds, and the predictions and finished the season with their heads held high.” We think Ryan Church said it best though, ” When it comes to heart, we are up there. It goes to show that it starts with the manager. It shows what kind of team we are. We battle.”
