It’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up.
Remember last week when I said the Marlins needed to start doing better for the rest of the season? Seems they took my urgings seriously. Counting Wednesday, the Marlins are 4-2 (good), with two of those wins coming from teams above them on the wild card (great). They’ve also got a streak of 13 straight games with ten or more hits (wow). At this time of writing, the Marlins are two back on the wild card and 4.5 back on the division. If they keep this amazing run up, they just might make it to the playoffs this year.
Another big moment this week: the Washington Nationals finally managed to secure Stephen Strasburg’s contract and sign their first-round draft pick this year. Fan confidence has been low this season, but the recent win streak combined with all around better baseball is combining to make it all seem a little less grim. This sign is clutch and we might even see him start a game down the stretch this year, although that’s not that likely. More likely is that we’ll see Strasburg take the mound next year alongside his young rotation to take on the NL East. I really hope this turns out well for Washington, the area needs a decent team and I’d love for the Nats to have success (so long as they don’t place better than the Marlins)
