Was just simply stating some facts. I know plenty of teams have had big injuries...Probably the easiest to compare to void my excuse is the Cards losing Waino and a few others (Adams/Holliday) and still wrecking the league.

I just can't believe this will be the 1st game with our 8 batters...Just shocked is all. None of them have lived up to their norm...Rendon mr 'tony two bags'...has like 2 2 bags not counting the HR's...Desmond has absolutely ruined his value on the market with his offense and defense this year, and only Harper and Espinosa have reached or exceeded expectations. Harper finally shows what he can do, and we expected Espinosa to be off the bench but he's been an everyday player with his age and has been great. Escobar has been great too, just fragile as all hell.

Update:







Three game set at home vs the Mets starting Monday. End the season with another three game vs the Mets in New York.

Both teams play some shit tier teams to close it out. Should come down to their head to head games. If Mets can at least split the six they should take the division.

if they can sweep the mets...
nationals have been plagued with injury all year, but they play really well at home


do they get to avoid the nl central if they win their division? wild card has to play the best team or no?

yea if cards hold onto best record, WC winner will play cards, NL east winner will play NL West winner

Mets fans forgetting 07 rofl

Nats now 4 back with Scherzer going tomorrow against Niese. Niese has been terrible lately. Tomorrow's game is as must win as must win can be.

big series coming up

duda's coming back, and cuddyer should be available soon again so that should be good

honestly, the nationals could catch the cubs in the wild card looking at the schedules

The Mets this year are definitely not the same as '07...

Our starting pitcher trumps our '07 by like a 1000, and we actually have a decent hitting line up.



Mets aren't going to get swept by the Nats... I would be willing to buy FG just to bet you on that...

No shit sherlock.

Niese just gave up a grand slam after being given a 3 run lead. The guy is just a gas can now.
