Nationals vs Braves, Game 3

[skippy1999]

NatsGirl has become an unexpected ace. She's like 2014 Roark or Putin. I almost feel like she should save her starts for the Mets where we really need the wins.

Good game tonight though.

No way, that's like saving Pap for when we "really" need him - play to win each game and worry about the next one when you get to it!

That's the best quote ever.

I love beating up the Braves, even if they're barely fielding a major league roster at the moment.

Pounding on divisions teams is always enjoyable no matter the year, time, or place.

finally slipped ahead of the 3d and 4th best Nats seasonal pace.  In limbo land - not quite at the best record in the NL pace of 2012 and 2014, but better than the 2011 80-81, 2005 81-81, and the 2013 86 win pace per game.
