It's going to be a long year for the Washington Nationals. They're off to an 0-2 start already, and really, who knows if they'll get a win this month. They're just that bad.
How bad are they?
Well during the offseason the Detroit Tigers sent Nook Logan (pictured to the right warding off evil spirits) to the Nationals for the infamous "players to be named." The way these deals work is that the Tigers would receive a list of players of several minor leaguers in the Nationals system. They then get to go through the names and pick anyone that they want.
Well, the Tigers went through that list, and after looking long and hard they made their decision. They decided just to take $75,000 in cash from the Nationals rather than subject themselves to a Nats minor leaguer. When asked about the Nationals and their list of players, Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski laughed so hard he cried.
"Oh my God! They suck so freaking bad! I think I saw Harmon Killebrew's name on there."**
Logan is the Nationals starting center fielder, and so far this season he's 1-for-1 and has already earned himself a trip to the disabled list. Go, Nats!
**Not an actual statement, though I'm sure he thought it.
