Well I almost had a fourth win for them. My daughter and I cut out in the top of the 9th with the Nats up 3-1.

First you lose your teeth; then you lose your job.
what the hell is going on tonight?
fucking Soriano
easily the weirdest game of the year.
I didn't catch the Saturday game until the 8th inning, my friend was explaining to me why Stras and Davey were tossed. Is Stras injured? Or is he just piss poor at trying to plunking guys?

I fucking hated seeing Bam Bam get plunked twice and there being no retaliation. 3 of the last 4 times he was plunked it's been by Atlanta. Seeing those fucking hillbillies stand up, applause, and high 5 was fucking sickening. I almost choked my TV. I guess we got the last laugh on Saturday but…come on.

Hard fought series against one of the best in baseball and a division rival. Hopefully this lights a fire under their ass……Just enough to barely miss the playoffs.

As a descendant of family from the Appalachian foothills, I take offense to the Braves being called Hillbillies.  They're definitely red necks.  Hillbillies are far more functional members of society.
why did nats get david dejesus only to put him on waivers?

They were probably blocking some other team they are chasing from picking him up.

Now they can control whom he goes to next.
If you could deal Haren to a contender based on his performance post All Star Break, that would be a real coup.
i fully expect that to happen

hes not gonna be back next year, and hes pitching incredibly lately, so rizzo would be a fool not to try to get something for him now. i think the only thing preventing it is misguided hope that this season isnt over for the nats yet
It's not! They're only 15 games out of the wild card spot! And 95 out of the division! With like 20 games left or something!


WE GOT THIS!!! #HTTR
Philly Shark
i was surprised to see they are 7 games out and 31 games left on a super easy schedule.
7 is a lot to do… The offense has woken up, even if it has been against a train of weak teams. Maybe their confidence is coming back with the pummeling they've been laying on some of these teams.
4 game winning streak?
Season high 6 games over .500?
21-9 in the last 30?
6 games out of the wild card with 18 to go?
Jayson Werth hitting out of his mind?
Denard Span 21 game hitting streak?
Bam Bam back in the line-up tonight?
Eh?
Who is Bam Bam and why would he let people call him that?

I think this was the best take I saw on this sentiment.  Plus they're selling playoff tickets…
another way to spin it.

6 games out, after being 7 games out on August 28 when I posted.  That's a two week spread of time.

At this rate, they'll catch the pirates in 12 weeks!
