You blast the Nats for their lack of longball production ("The team hit a measly 123 Home Runs last year"), yet go on to say that their new hitters park will hurt the team ("My guess is it will be a hitters park, and that should add to this team’s struggles"). I assume what you're attempting to get at here is that you concede they will hit more homers in the new park, but it will "add to this team's struggles" because it will hurt their already poor pitching. If that is indeed the point you were trying to make (again, one has to assume here), then I suppose it's valid, but playing in a hitter's park both helps the Nats' offense and, in theory, hurts the Nats' pitching, which kinda negate one another. /longest comment ever Rich, I meant to pick that post apart a bit when you originally made it.
