Wow, terrible base running by Nats ruin a shot to score. The one game I want them to play well they do that, lol.
Just saw the matchups in the final 2 games, no way the Marlins win either.
Freeman is really having a hell of a second half. Now 13 homers in slightly over 200 at bats. I wont be surprised if we see a .320/.400/.520 stat line from him next year.
7-0 Nats now, so it looks like we'll get a shot to clinch on the field tomorrow. Hopefully Medlen pitches a gem and we have a nice celebration after the game.

I wouldn't mind if the Nats keep winning. Keep putting pressure on the Reds/Pirates/Cardinals and force them all to have to press down the stretch.
The Nats are not going to playoffs because the Braves kicked their arss in their own ballpark too often this year.
It'd be fitting if the Braves clinch with a Medlen win.
Medlen, whom was crucified early in the year for not pitching to his 2012 numbers, while still being a very reliable and consistent starter, was almost demoted to the bullpen to make room for another guy coming off TJ, and is now the guy in position to bring us back to the playoffs.
