Washington Nationals... Best of. 2008 Edition
So I've been watching the playoffs (always painful as a Nats fan) and watching some of the endings and plays it made me think about the season that was for the Nats and what some of my favorite plays and moments were. Of course at first I went straight to cynical mode and figured there weren't any, but as I thought through the season there were quite a few that came to mind (remember it is 162 game season). I put a couple of them below that I could remember, but I want to hear from everyone else to see if there were any that i may have forgotten or missed so that I could have the winter to dwell on the finer points of the season to look forward to '09.
-Pretty obvious here: Zim's walk-off to start the Nats (and MLB) season. Great christening for the stadium and the Nats were for a while 'first in war, first in peace, and FIRST IN THE NL EAST!!!'
-Willie Harris's diving catch against the Mets in September to hold onto that gem from Perez and spoil the Mets (always feels good) 1-0.
-Belliard's walk off against the O's at the end of June. Bottom 12 off Sherrill, they had just given up the lead in the 9th, but fought back for the win, good stuff.
-On the lighter side: I also do remember Teddy taking a huge lead in the race and everyone getting excited and then he fell down only to get beat by Abe again...LET TEDDY WIN!
So there actually was some good stuff to take away from the season, for me at least. What do you guys remember most fondly to at least keep our winter upbeat.
N.B. I'll add to the poll below according to posts that seem good.

2) Belliard’s Walk-Off Against the O’s.
3) Dukes Walk-Off Walk To Beat the Braves.
