NEW YORK – The Nationals need a win today, plan and simple. After trending in the right direction for most of the first half, they are heading the opposite way going into the All-Star break. A win to avoid a sweep at Citi Field and a couple more in Milwaukee wouldn’t be a cure-all. But it would be a good way for the team to enter the break and perh

The latest heat advisory mentions how mailbags could go up in flames and to keep them indoors. I’m not taking any chances. It’s my responsibility to empty mine and save the neighborhood from total destruction. You ask, I answer, and yada, yada, yada.

NEW YORK – Davey Martinez needed to shake up his lineup. For the most part, it hasn’t been getting the job done as is over the past couple of weeks. Sure there were a few offensive outbursts here and there, but it definitely needed a kickstart to be more consistent. So what did the Nationals manager do against Mets right-hander Luis Severino? He st
