I hope he's not right . . .

. . . or it's going to be a really long year.

King Kaufman on the National League East:

You won't have to imagine the Washington Nationals losing 90 games. They could take care of that by Labor Day. Just about the only reason to watch this team is third baseman Ryan Zimmerman. The Nationals will have a significant number of games started this year by pitchers who wouldn't earn a single start with a single other team, including Pittsburgh.

But it's not all bad news in Washington.

Oh wait. Yes it is.

Predicted finish: Philadelphia, Atlanta (wild card), New York, Florida, Grand Canyon, Marianas Trench, Washington
