Storen was handed a 2 run lead in game 5 - if he does his job, the nats advance in 2012
How about the ace of your staff not giving up 3 runs in five innings? How about not bringing in Edwin Jackson in relief when he had a freaking ERA of over 6 in the first inning that season?
Can blame Storen all you want, but there was some incredibly crappy managing by Davey Johnson that game. Without a doubt, I'm convinced that if EJ doesn't come in to the game, the Nats win. The Cards don't get any momentum and they go quietly in to the night. But for whatever freaking reason, Johnson completely freaked up that decision and the result was a loss.
So yea, plenty of blame to go around.
