The Washington Nationals have been pegged with high expectations  from the start of this season. For a good portion of this season, it looked as if the Nationals would be unable to live up to those expectations. As this month has progressed though, they came together as a unit and went on a ten game winning streak, playing their best baseball of the year. What was behind this recent surge by them? There are a couple of factors to this equation.

Though the Los Angeles Angels continued their winning ways on Wednesday night against the Red Sox, they suffered a loss in their starting rotation that will potentially make their road to a deep postseason run & a possible World Series title much more difficult to navigate and get to.

I know for most of the Rams fan base, the Brian Quick train has shipped and sailed.  But I believe in Brian Quick's third season he will be very productive in the Ram's offense this year.

The San Diego Padres have had an underwhelming season so far to date, being stuck under the .500 mark and being out of the NL West Division title race altogether. They have continued to battle issues with a less than formidable offense that has left them scrapping for runs in most games. The pitching though has been a very bright spot for the club. The star that has risen in that regard is Tyson Ross, who has had a very interesting road to get to this point in his career.

The Injection of the "Ejection"

He stole 2nd base!! No, he literally has taken 2nd base and tossed it on the field.  

No, this is not the work of a drunken streaker at a minor league game but these are some minor league antics. Antics or should I say passionate team management at its finest. Growing up playing baseball, I would have daydreams of hitting home runs and stealing bases that clinched division titles for my team, but secretly I was saving something for later, something later to imitate, something that was my secret favorite part of the game.
