looking bleak right now though

Naw man... same shite happened last year, we will be hitting on all cyclinders by Mid-May Early June. The Nats aren't going to do jack shite this year especially if you consider Harper and Zimmerman are both going to be out until right before the All-Star break. Even if they come back and are on fire during the second half we own their asses head to head so there is always that. Plus as you said, we are in an incredibly weak division and as long as we beat up on the Mets and Phillies we will be fine.

IMO the Marlins will be a pesky team this season, and would be dangerous if they had one or two more bats in their lineup. They will fizzle out eventually though because a team with Casey McGehee batting cleanup is not a legitimate threat to compete in the long run.

The past week was been discouraging no denying that, but we just got Minor back and Floyd comes back this week which will provide a huge boost to our pitching staff. Also, Venters should be ready by mid-late June which will shore up things in the pen.
