This offseason holds a lot of questions for the Nationals. Who will be the Nats' new skipper? What will the starting rotation look like? Will their lineup stay the same?
But before we look ahead, let's take time to relive some of the best moments of this past season.
Every Thursday, we'll be throwin' it back to an amazing play from the Nats' 2013 season.
Let's take it back to the beginning, shall we?
Bryce Harper started the season with a bang. In fact, he started it with two. In...
Denard Span made play after play in center field last season, finishing 2013 without committing an error to give him a chance to win his first Gold Glove.
I'm sure we'll see Span featured on Throwback Thursday again this offseason, but for now, watch the center fielder make a diving grab look routine.

There's nothing like those moments that bring you to the edge of your seat.
This was definitely one of those moments.
With two outs in the top of the ninth, Rafael Soriano found himself in a jam with two runners in scoring position, protecting a one-run lead. However, it was Adam LaRoche who saved the day. Relive LaRoche's thrilling play that secured a win against the Padres in the video below.

Yesterday, Ian Desmond was awarded his second straight Silver Slugger.
In honor of the slugger's solid season at the plate, we're takin' it back to one of his most memorable at-bats of the season.

Every year, fans from Baltimore and Washington invade each other's ballparks to watch the Orioles and Nationals face off in the Battle of the Beltways.
Before Tuesday's crazy storm, Kevin Stanfield asked fans if there is a rivalry between the two teams. Inevitably, the results were mixed, but it seems that if there is a rivalry, it's possibly the friendliest one in baseball.
The Fourth of July at Nationals Park is one of the best days of the season. I mean, what better way to celebrate our nation than watching the Nationals play the national pastime in our nation's capital?
This year, in addition to the holiday, the Fourth was made even more special with the return of Wilson Ramos.
After missing most of 2012 with a knee injury and sitting out the beginning of this season because of a hamstring injury, Ramos didn't waste any time before making an impact....
With six seasons of hitting 20 or more home runs and two Silver Slugger Awards, Ryan Zimmerman is no stranger when it comes to hitting balls out of the park.
On a spring evening in Baltimore, Zimmerman proved just how powerful he is by crushing three different pitches to three different parts of the ballpark.
Relive the excitement of Zimmerman's first career three-homer game in the video below.

Everyone has Thanksgiving traditions, and for most families, those include sitting around the television watching football.
On a day where football takes center stage, I thought we'd throw it back to a moment that reminds us of our love and passion for baseball. What better way to do so than with a walk-off home run?
With the Nationals holding onto hope in the playoff race, Bryce Harper gave D.C. a reason to keep buzzing with a game-winning shot. Relive the excitement in the video below and...
Earlier this week, the Nationals acquired right-hander Doug Fister from the Tigers in exchange for infielder Steve Lombardozzi, and left-handers Ian Krol and Robbie Ray.
Despite the excitement surrounding Fister joining the Nats rotation, many D.C. fans were sad to see Lombardozzi go. The kid from Atholton High School always seemed to be a fan favorite around Nats Park.
In honor of his time with the Nationals, we're throwin' it back to one of Lombo's memorable moments. In this highlight...
Between icy weather and offseason moves, it's safe to say we're in the meat of the offseason. With that said, it's easy to lose sight of those exciting summer nights - those nights that remind you why you love the Nationals.
This week, we're throwin' back to one of those nights.
On a warm summer night in Philly, Ian Desmond came to the plate with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the 11th. If you don't remember what happens next, I'm sure you can guess. Relive Desmond's...
We're almost three months into the season, so you might not think the new Nationals skipper is very new anymore. But how well do you know Matt Williams?
We'll be getting to know just what the manager is all about with his "Ask Matt" blog all season long. This week, we sent Dan Kolko to Williams' office to ask the hard-hitting question: Would you rather?
Would you rather only chew bubble gum or sunflower seeds? Would you rather have Jayson Werth's facial hair or Adam Laroche's? Would...
Despite rumors that the Nationals were looking for a backup catcher earlier in the offseason, the Nats say they're comfortable with either Jhonatan Solano or Sandy Leon backing up Wilson Ramos behind the plate in 2014.
Last season, Solano appeared in 24 games for the Nats and made one of the best plays of his young career in a 3-2 ballgame against Philadelphia.
Relive his run-saving play at the plate in the video below and check back every Thursday for more memorable moments from 2013....
Two Fridays ago, the Nationals sported their blue jerseys and faced their National League East rivals, the Braves, in front of the hometown crowd at Nats Park. With the game tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 10th, Michael A. Taylor came on to pinch-hit and sent a walk-off three-run home run into the stands.
Fast forward to last night's scene in D.C. The boys dawned their patriotic get-up as they hosted another division foe, the Marlins. The ballgame was knotted at 4-4 after nine innings. To the...
With the season right around the corner, fans are anxiously anticipating the next 162 games.
Over the span of the next six months, we will get to witness tons of home runs, strikeouts and diving catches, but sometimes, it's the little things that remind you why you watch the Nationals day in and day out.
This week, I decided to switch it up a little. I'm throwin' it back to a late September game at Nats Park. In the seventh inning, a routine line drive was hit directly to Ian Desmond....
The fifth starter competition has really heated up after Matt Williams announced earlier this week that Ross Detwiler will start the 2014 season in the bullpen. Now, Taylor Jordan, Tanner Roark and Chris Young have 11 days to prove why they belong in the Nationals rotation.
Last season, we had an opportunity to get a look at Jordan on the big stage, and he finished with a 3.66 ERA in nine appearances with the Nats.
Do you see Jordan breaking out of camp as the Nationals' fifth starter? As...
The Nationals had a busy week, so many players took to Twitter to talk about it. We've put it all together for you here.
Sandy Leon started the week with his first career home run. Jerry Blevins and Aaron Barret thought it deserved a couple of Twitter shoutouts.

The second week of the season is behind us, which brings us to the second edition of Washington Socialites. Here's what went on in the Nationals' Twitterverse.
Adam LaRoche dedicated one of his first tweets to MLB umpire John Hirschbeck:
