The NQ took a much needed weekend off from blogging and sports activities. No matter how much you love something and how far you follow it, sometimes you just need to take a break no matter how wasteful, how weird or how utterly miserable things are in your sport blogging life.

That being said, it is amazing how little of the Internet I use when I am not dealing with the Nats, baseball and sports. I used like only two pages and wondered what the hell I could look up on the Internet. There just isn’t anything that cool.

This picture pretty much sums up my Weekend of Awesome. This picture sums up the Nationals Weekend of Suck. And this is–

Your Nationals Dispatch.

A Sad, Sad, Sweep - The Nationals were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend in a calamitous three-game series that had the strange, cold feeling of a steel nail being pounded into the 2010 coffin.

However, the good news is President Stan Kasten believes the Nats are closer to contending than it appears… *crickets chirping*

Donkey To Kitty? – With the injury to outfielder Magglio Ordonez, the Detroit Tigers are said to have a “great interest” in acquiring Nationals first baseman Adam Dunn. Of course, this situation will probably never happen as Nats GM Mike Rizzo is doing a Jim Bowden and asking for the moon while Kitty GM Dave Dombrowski said they will not sacrifice top prospects for a short term player– which Dunn would probably be.

God, they could rake. The iron is so hot for the Nats right now. Hotter than the sun. Too bad it must be as bright as the sun too because they Nats FO seem blind to the position they are actually in. Prepare for yet another Trade Deadline fail.

Riggleman In 2011 – The Nationals are expected to retain manager Jim Riggleman for the 2011 season. No official word has come down the pipes yet, by GM Mike Rizzo said Riggleman has done a terrific job and referred to Jim as a “baseball rat” and said he can never beat Riggleman to the Park.

Maybe Mike Rizzo can’t beat Riggleman, but everyone else in baseball seems to be able to. Look at the standings. We are still trying to figure out what is so impressive about a guy taking a last place team and making them a last place team.

Adam Dunn Is An Oriole In Disguise – You can find almost anything on eBay. For example, are you looking for a 2010 Allen & Ginters Adam Dunn game-used bat card with Adam Dunn on the front, but Baltimore Orioles Brian Robert’s info on the back? It is the perfect gift for the Beltway fan who just can’t make up their mind.

The bidding starts at $100 for this epic card fail or it can be yours for $750.00.

And that is Your Nationals Dispatch.
