The Up and Down Nats

Jayson Werth has finally started to heat up. Michael Morse is on fire. Ryan Zimmerman is hitting well. John Lannan has played great since getting hit in the face by a linedrive. Jeerry Haiston is a new man since coming off the DL.

Just as all that started to happen, Danny Espinosa, who had been in a groove, has hit a snag. Wilson Ramos hasn't hit well of late. And Jesus Floes has struggled with his defense. Livan Hernandez has lost his feel. And the bullpen has been struggling, particularly Sean Burnett and Todd Coffey.

Except for the two week period before Jim Riggleman resigned when they all hit their stride at the same time, the Nats have been uneven. When certain players have been hot, other key players have gone cold. It's why they are hovering around .500.
