Still the best record in baseball! Every team is going to have series like this throughout the season.

I like you. We lost two players very suddenly. As we adapt and these players come back soon we will see the team return to normal form. 4/162 is a small sample.

"I'm Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves is my vote for SSS song.

Didja know....

That Katrina is Katrina Leskanic cousin of former Rockies pitcher Curt Leskanic.

So not having talent is a family trait?

From an October 2007 issue of the America's finest news source:
Red Sox Attempt To Break Fabled 'Curse Of Relief Pitcher Curtis Leskanic'

Quote

BOSTON—The Boston Red Sox, who have failed to win a single World Series since the departure of relief pitcher Curtis Leskanic in 2004, are attempting to defy the odds and do the impossible: reverse the curse of the journeyman reliever whose ghost has haunted this team since the mid-2000s.

Pitted against the Colorado Rockies in the 2007 Fall Classic, the team that for two long years seemed like it might be destined to lose forever has a chance to finally put an end to its 36-month-long World Series drought. However, the Red Sox must first overcome the famed Curse of Curtis Leskanic, which caused medium-to-long-suffering fans much anguish and heartache during the period between 2005 and 2006.

Ridiculous.

Everyone knows the curse on the Red Sox results from long departed groundskeeper Carl Spakler, who in a fit of pique intentionally stepped on the right field line at the conclusion of the 2004 WS, burned his dirty underwear that very night, then proceeded to wear a fresh, clean pair to opening day 2005. He was terminated not long after but the damage was done, and Sox fans were consigned to two long seasons in the desert.

This board has some posters that are in complete

mode.

Yet the Nationals still have the best record in the majors.

Everyone has up and downs. The Nats are going to be ok.

Probably be a lot less noticeable if you didn't look down on every single person with a negative word about the Nats.

Oh come on now.

Lots of smart posters are pointing out the legitimate problems right now, but a the same time it's just four games. If go on a streak where we lose 7 or 8 with only a couple wins, then you'll see me resigned to the fact I will be losing a bet to that gosh danged Minty Fresh

Five starters in the top 16 in the NL in ERA. Five starters in the top 14 in the NL in WHIP.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #634:** August 31, 2012, 02:37:43 PM »

I don't believe this was posted before but our playoff chances according to coolstandings.com by way of espn have reached it's peak, 99.9%, the highest they can be without actually having clinched a spot. It happened a couple of games ago.
