A rather unexpected twist in the NL. I get win your division, but it almost seems unfair that Nats are on the road with a better record than the Cards.

Rules be rules

Nats in 7

Nats in 6

I don't see how this goes less than 6 games.

I'll go Nats in 7.

Cards in 7. They’re always a tough out in the playoffs, as I recall from 2011.

Well, 89, no matter what happens to the Nats, Warshington can take pride in its WNBA champion Mystics. Led by UD’s own Elena DelleDonne.

I could get behind the WC getting HFA if:
1. Better record, and
2. Won head-to-head series
3. Excluding teams from Boston.

Actually watched the last 5 minutes of the game. Pretty cool that they have their own arena and it was full. BTW, her post game interview may have been one of the best cliche filled interview of all time.

Can't wait for the parade.

Cards win in 5. So glad the doyers choked again.

The Nationals got a big boost from Anibal Sanchez last night. The guy just keeps hanging in there as a solid 3 or 4 starter. I thought he was done 3 years ago.

“ONE HIT? THAT’S ALL WE GOT WAS ONE GODDAM HIT?”

How good was that Tigers starting staff. Sanchez, Verlander, Portcello and Scherzer.

Good enough that Porcello was the number 5 starter, with Fister being number 4.

The second game of the 2013 ALCS still haunts me.

Through 16 innings during this series, St. Louis hasn't scored a run.

The Cardinals have scored 1 run on 8 hits in 24 innings so far.

Brooms warming up in DC

NATS!!!!!

Two interesting stats on ESPN radio this morning:

Since 2006, the team to clinch the league series first has only won two world series.

Of the eight teams that have swept the league series, only one won the world series.

That was a little disheartening, but the one team that did it was the Braves with Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz. They were reliant on starting pitchers who appreciate the rest and can go about their normal routine. My guess without looking is the seven teams that lost their bats went dead and/or made fielding errors.

Nats are simply a better team without Harper. It was the Washington Harpers before. Now they are a team.

It worked out better for the Nats as they completed the sweep at home, rather than on the road...

Yeah, I can't complain now.
