I'm making some noise, I'm still a working boy.

At the top of the boy I said, look at me mama, I'm making some noise.

I'm making some noise, I'm gonna run down boy.

Hello and welcome, Depzad, 1,240 of Effective You Wild,

Hello, how are you? I'm doing alright.

You say that you're doing better than the Washington National Zoo as I look at this now?

I know that they've been in a slump and I know that every team slumps with the nationals are fading a little bit

but I did not realize that when I looked at a Roto World just innocently looking,

I glance up at the top of the page and I saw Miami 7 Washington 0.

That's what I was looking at, checked in, second inning, 7-0, Marlins over the nationals.

I know in the national league none of the three teams that we expected to win the divisions are actually out in front yet

but I still kind of feel like it's just a matter of time for the Dodgers, just a matter of time for the Cubs.

I feel like they're still pretty clear favorites but the nationals are actually in a lot more trouble than I've given them

credit for so far, have you looked at them at all?

Well, I know that Travis Suchick wrote an article about the nationals being in trouble on Thursday at FanGrafts

and so I'm aware that they're in trouble, I'm also aware that they had a closed door meeting that dreaded closed door meeting after their most recent loss

but it would appear that the closed door meeting has not helped immediately if they're losing 7-0 to the Marlins as we speak.

Yeah, right, they are, I assume that, you know, everyone who's listening to this will be listening to this after the game is over.

Maybe the nationals come back, that would be fantastic for them and if they do so they will be back to 500 but otherwise they will be 42 and 44.
