Assuming you're still a Nats fan, you should understand that that's exactly what's pissing us off.  A fantastic season gets wasted because the hitters and Matt Williams decide to go full tard mode in the month of October.

It sucks hard, but that's baseball. Retool and go for it again next year.

I agree. It's bullcrap. How do you even fix it? Same issue as Caps pretty much. Sometimes a certain core group of players just can't get it done in the playoffs.

You "fix" it by not sucking ass-nuggets. And trading Desmond.

It doesn't need fixing. The post season isn't about finding the best team in any giving season. Never has been. It's about letting the best teams over the season play in a tournament. That's what every playoff system is about. I would be up for making the LCS a seven game series and eliminating the off day between the WC games and the LCS, though.

freak that, my ass is primarily chapped by our failure to totally embarrass Tim "Nutsack" Hudson.  That, plus I'm still getting over the cold I developed as a direct consequence of that game.

I hope Matt Williams is watching this game because these managers are violating all of the "because we did it all season" rules.

Two bad plays by Fat Adams.
I am not clear why the announcers are faulting him for going to second base on the second one.  That was the easier play and he had time.  Problem was he lost grip on the ball.

Anyone else think the Division series should be 7 games? 5 games is just a crapshoot. If it were 7 games the better team would win.

hammonds and CALSGR8: "LCS series should be best of 21 games!  >:("

Pat Neshek has always been underappreciated. I'm glad to see him have such a good season.
