The Nats Thread

its that time of year.. you know.. when it, counts…collapse.

No Stras, no Ramos, Murphy still out, and Harper still out. 1 week til the Dodgers…. Oh, boy.

Although now they can fall on the crutch of "injuries" as opposed to not playing small ball. But, we'll see.

I liked what the city did building the stadium cause I wanted DC to have a team.. but I would never make the argument it was a good use of taxpayer money….

Anyone think Nats wrap this up tonight?

Was falling asleep during the game yesterday. What a drag. Thank god the bats woke up at the end there. Was worried they'd sit on those 4 runs and lose.

Yeah, 4.5 hour nine inning games is too much.  Holy hell, I hope they wrap it up tonight.  I don't want to go Thursday, though I have tickets.  Have a very cool work dinner I'd miss, and….it may be 4.5 hours…..

If Sting's wife is able to take him for that long, anybody should be able to endure a long playoff game.

Not sure the analogy is apt, but I too hope that the Nats win today, and then I won't need to go on Thursday.

Well you poor schmucks are going to have to suck it up and go Thursday. Unless anyone wants to give me their ticket.

Not sure I'll be able to handle the stress of Thursday. And Caps kicking off the season in Pittsburgh? Uy. Could be the opposite of how good DC sports were to us on Sunday… I have faith in Mad Max!

FYI, tickets available for all games* including tonight.

*assuming they win tonight

Found SRO for less than $60, I feel like that isn't bad considering it's an elimination mound with the ace on the mound.

All sorts of nervous, I'm having a hard time seeing Max lose to the Dodgers twice in a series…. But, who knows. The narrative is right up DC sports alley…. Dodgers overcome, blah blah, [X] DC sports team couldn't overcome blah blah.

I have faith!!

I just got seats in the 400 level for $58 a ticket.

well.. correct me if I 'm wrong but Max's last two starts have been disastrous..

I predict a long and very stressful night; I will be there…and I remember the last game 5 at Nats Park

Alright, everyone has their games, but who else are you throwing out there?

I don't think he'll have 3 'disasters' in a row to end the season. Even IF that's how DC sports teams usually go out. I have faith. I think with him and the bullpen, Daniel Murphy and Anthony Rendon might just drag them into the NLCS themselves. Hopefully Trea wakes up, Werth and Zim keep playing the same, and Bryce comes through in a big spot.

There is no doubt that you start Scherzer.  And anybody who says anything differently, would probably pitch to Daniel Murphy with first base open.

^Our forum's very own Captain Obvious….

What's the story with the Marlins douche who feels the need to be in the front row for every important
game?  I know he's rich and has nothing going on in his life but enough already.  Or put on a rainbow wig or something.
