NEW YORK — The Washington Nationals keep talking as if this is still all about them, as if the National League East will be theirs once they finally wake up and take it.
"Don't worry about us," Anthony Rendon told James Wagner of the Washington Post after one Nats loss this week. "Y'all worry about y'all selves. We'll be all right."
Don't be so sure of that.
The Nationals aren't the best team in baseball, the "Where's my ring?" club from spring training. No, the Nationals aren't even the best team in their own division.
