Some teams that are bad have a visible lack of talent.

They flounder around the bases and field, and lack the communication skills necessary to mesh together as an effective unit.

The Washington Nationals, however, do not display these characteristics.

The Nats have an extremely talented outfield, with Elijah Dukes, Lastings Milledge, and Adam Dunn patrolling right through left respectively.

Judging from the content of blogs covering the team, the fans of the Washington Nationals are grumpy. That is easy to understand when considered in the context of last year's 102-loss season. However, since the grumpiness is evident even during discussions of obvious improvements to the team, one might accuse us of holding a grudge.
