Not looking forward to this Phils series. I hope we can smack them back in the mouth after the last sweep. Bastards. I'd love to see them wrap the division up this week…

Tonight is the night the Nats clinch.  Mark my words.

I hope so, I have tickets for tomorrows game… Had tickets to the Dodgers game when we clinched the playoff berth, but couldnt go due to a family emergency. Anyone get tickets for the playoffs? Totally slept on the email they sent me and now it's showing all are sold out :\

i read a post article that said some standing room only tickets would be available at the box office the day of the game in the playoffs. $25/30 or so. not a bad price to get into a playoff ballgame.

yay NATS
team is going into the playoffs sputtering.. hoping for the best but they were peaking 3 weeks ago.

great atmosphere tonight, horrible game.

not the best way to clinch it, but at least a huge weight is lifted now.

this team is far from their best form lately, but hopefully celebrating tonight and getting a few days rest will recharge some batteries.

Hate seeing them lost to the Phils again and getting blanked, such a relief that they win the division. Excited to head to the park tonight [if it's not rained out] and see Gio pitch again. My eyes might have teared up a little seeing Ryan Zimmerman looking out at the crowd in silence. Feel so great for him, he's gone through so much with this team.

So I think the most important thing regarding the Nats is:

Is Teddy going to win tomorrow?

I'd imagine so, they have a Teddy themed series to end fan appreciation month AND it's been extended through the playoffs. He has to win.

it was pretty close last night, and they had that mccain video

Teddy will not and cannot win. He is the lovable loser… the whole point is he always loses.

I doubt Gio will start tonight.  They'll shuffle things to get him a game #1 start.

Totally didn't think about that, Gorzo got the start. If there is even a game tonight :\ if they end up playing a double header tomorrow I'll miss it because of work :\

Update on the TV rights deal:

Anyone heading out to the game today? I hope Teddy wins. Got my "Teddy in '12" sticker last night. Had fun, always great to see the Nats beat the Phils, feels even better with the goon squad in there!

Teddy won.
