Nationals @ Braves, Game 3

[RobDibblesGhost]

Leadoff walk bites us in the ass.

These fools dont realize that even a sweep means nothing - it will take a total collapse for the braves to win the division

This sweep makes the collapse possible. A win by the Nats tonight would have squashed any chance they had for the division.

[NatsAllThe Way]

game,,, sweep,,,  crap!

[sportsfan882]

This team can't handle the pressure of September baseballl. What about October?>

[RobDibblesGhost]

Gio really needs the double play here.

A sweep means a lot.
For one thing, a total collapse is absolutely possible.
But, more so, the Braves are fighting for the W/C.
Every win counts.

We're well on our way. About to be 5-5 in our last ten. Bats have gone cold. Bullpen has an ERA over 9 in the last 10 games. Starters are giving up a full run more than they have the previous 140 games.

[sportsfan882]

That could have been strike 3

[RobDibblesGhost]

3 ball count AGAIN

[RobDibblesGhost]

Crap.

As previosuly stated . . .

the Braves look like the playoff team.

We look nervous and tentative.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Gio at 80 pitches? hahahaha..... what a debacle

[sportsfan882]

pathetic. check swing results in a sac fly and another run

[zimm_da_kid]

how did a swing like that get the ball that far?

[NatsAllThe Way]

I hate the Braves.

[welch]

Grumble!!!! Moore should have had him.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Stammen warming up.

[Minty Fresh]

The Braves have played like the team who's been there and we have played like the team who's never been there.

Gio has looked like this game is too big for him since he took the cameras showed him warming up in the bullpen.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Grumble!!!! Moore should have had him.

The sad thing is that it wasn't even that close.

[NatsAllThe Way]

That's it for me, wake me in October....  if we make the playoffs.

[RL04]

Well, I've got stuff on the DVR to watch.

[welch]

Forget this individual stuff...CY Young and 20 wins...just win this game.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Sit down, StrUggla!

The braves have a wild card spot locked up - the nats have the division locked up - such fake panic

[RobDibblesGhost]

Man, this has been a crappy weekend for local sports teams all around.
