If their fans weren't douchebags

Well that was interesting. I'd say fun, but it was only fun for 9 minutes of the game. I was really close to turning it off because my blood pressure was getting way too high.

- Stras was a stud, clearly he should have been the starter but that's easy to say now
- Rendon was MIA, his only highlight was a walk
- That was the craziest I've ever seen Nats stadium, even more than the Werth walk-off
- Anyone catch the Brewer bench player egging on the Nats fans and sticking his tongue out at them from the dugout?
- Biggest down side is Scherzer AND Stras had to be used

Does Amazon sell Dodger Dogs?

Ask Bryce. He's sitting at home with nothing to do.

Looks like the Nats could use a star.

Attendance down over 10% this year, even with all the charitable help of tens of thousands of Phils fans like me.
Ouch!

Tough times for small market teams like the Nats:

Not so sure about that. Snell and Yarbrough struggled down the stretch. Not sure if they are going to be effective inning eaters. Snell hasn't pitched more than 2-1/3 innings since coming back in mid Sept. Yarbrough had a bad September after a great July and August. Rays will need Chirinos and Morton to eat a lot of innings.

Glasgow and Morton have been dominant as of late. Snell has been brought back slowly after an injury plagued season, but hasn't been terrible. He has a 2.75 ERA in his last seven starts. He won't have such a short leash if he is pitching well in the playoffs. He certainly has the potential to be dominant.

Edit - I forgot to address Yarbrough - he is the Rays #4 starter. He's inconsistent, but better than most number fours.

I follow Yarbrough closely. Not sure if I would call it inconsistent. He gets into mechanical funks. He was sent down earlier this year to get it fixed. Came back and was great. But September has been awful. Might be another mechanical funk. He is a finesse pitcher that paints the corners with pitches in the 80's. Gotta be perfect.

Citizens Bank Park last night...

Phils attendance WAY up. 26%

Just a far better fan base in general. Always has been. Always will be.

How is that not inconsistency?

I found it interesting to bring in Hudson over Doolittle.
Not sure if that is because of Hudson or Doolittle.

I'd rather be better on the field, but hey, whatever gets your juices flowing.

Hudson is simply better right now. Doo hasn't been himself since going on the IR a while back.

Nats will be eliminated by the end of next week. Congrats.

Dodgers will lose just one to them.

Better than being eliminated at Nats Park last week. Keep trying 93.

Dodgers in 6.

I edited my post, Numbnutz. Nats have no shot against LA.

[89Hen]

Nats have no shot against LA.

Very little. Most wins in franchise history... they've had some pretty damn good teams. Not having Stras is a huge blow and why I think the WC game is stupid and goes against everything baseball.

[93henfan]

Anything can happen in a short series, but the Dodgers are way better.

If we were more traditional then the Nats would be at home watching on tv since they didn't win their division. Be glad for what you have. With that said, I think the Nats take it to Game 5 and lose in spectacularly painful fashion - it's just what they do.

Especially with that bullpen.

And if you go back just a little further so would the Braves, Yankees, Cardinals... we'd just skip to the Dodgers v Astros. With 30 teams, it's fine to have 8 make the playoffs. Seems like a good number. The one game playoff is what I believe to be stupid. If it's to break a tie, fine. But to have it be a planned game. No thanks.

Hey, man. Do you have any locks for the divisional series? I'm thinking of making some wagers and your input could be valuable.
