Another Nats Loss...

From MLB.com's description of tonight's 8-0 loss to the Braves...

Errors loom large in loss
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
Matt Chico may have taken the loss after Tuesday's shutout at the hands of the Braves, but the defeat may be attributed more to the Nationals' defense than to their starter. Chico was changed with four runs, but only one of them was earned, after Dmitri Young and Ronnie Belliard committed errors.

Ummmm.....

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'm going to say that the fact that the Nats DIDN'T SCORE A RUN was a bigger reason for the loss than defense OR pitching. It's possible to win when your pitching and defense are bad, but it's a little more difficult when the team doesn't score a single run.

I should really get paid for this kind of analysis.
