MEDIA BLOGS

All Nats All The Time:  This is the premier blog.  Why?  It's Bill Ladson's blog who cover the Nationals for Major League Baseball.  This is not only a MUST read but you second stop, next to us!  :).  Who am I kidding?  Latest rumors and inside info, right here.  Inside scoop, right here.  Bill covers the Nats for MLB.com and does an outstanding job and we appreciate it and link to him often, very often.  You have to follow Bill on Twitter as well.  You just have to.  Rate:  *  *  *  *  *

Nationals Journal, Washington Post:  You can chalk this up to excellent daily coverage.  I prefer Tarik’s coverage for the caps, but you can’t fault the Post.  The Post is essentially the only media newspaper coverage now with the death of the Washington Times sports coverage.  Part of the problem here is, Chico wants out.  At least that's what we all think.  You will get good coverage here regardless.  Why?  Because it is the Washington Post.   Rank:  *  *  *  *  *

CSN Washington:  We have previously not had CSN on our Reviews, but the excellent coverage they provide, well, we have to.  Site includes great stories and features, video, great game wraps, an overall must stop on a daily basis.  Hosts a blog by Nats 3B Ryan Zimmerman.  Easy to rate.  Rank:  *  *  *  *  *

MASN Blog:  MASN is the television network of the Nationals and this is the home blog. This is an excellent blog.   Make sure you click on the headlines for additional text to the blog entries.  Not updating on a daily basis just yet, but consistent coverage.  Good to add to your Twitter.  Rank:  *  *  *  *

PRIORITY READING

The Nats Blog:  The Nats blog is part of our partner network, Bloguin.  Therefore, even if we didn't read it, which we do, we can tell, since it is part of Bloguin, quality stuff lies there.  And it's true.  We are proud to be a partner site with a fine Nationals coverage blog like this.  Go over and check it out and you will see why.  William Yoder does an outstanding job, there are daily updates, stats analysis, farm reports, video and much more.  You might think we give them a Priority read just because they are Bloguin as we are, but go check yourself. Good stuff equals good rating.  They have tons of links, a Nats on the news feed.  Also have a discussion forum.   Rate: *  *  *  *  *

Federal Baseball:  It is the most comprehensive blog for the Washington Nationals on the web.  It is part of the popular SB Nation alliance of blogs.  If you are a die hard Nats fan, you already know about this site.  If you are a casual fan, you still probably know about it.  Much like DC Pro Sports Report in general, you usually do not get one post a day here, there are multiple posts on multiple subjects.  The stats analysis, game reviews, previews, recaps, trade rumors, free agency rumors, draft content, whatever, these guys do it all and do it exceptionally well.  We are not afraid to go out on the limb here and say, this is probably the best Nats blog on the web.  Includes fan posting and fan shots.  Absolutely excellent commenting.  Nationals complete roster on sidebar.  Variosu RSS feeds.  A Nats heaven, period!   The rank here is no question.  Archives:  Back to 2005, birth of the franchise.
