The Nats and Braves are both in trouble. We are 5-8 without Zimmerman on this go around, our bullpen is melting down and I have serious doubts about our manager. I will make a prediction that neither team is going to win the division. The Marlins may be the team to beat despite Alvarez being on the DL. This sucks.

I think MLB should just take away the NL East's playoff spots and give them to the AL West and NL Central. Holy crap what a clusterfreak.

The Nats & Braves might be the worst first and second teams in ~~any division in~~ the history of baseball.

If the Nats don't make the playoffs they can look back at this stretch where they should have easily extended the division lead to 5+ games.

Atlanta is a streaky team. As bad as they have looked recently you know at some point they will turn it around and reel off 6 or 7 wins in a row. That's who they are.

And when the Nats do make the playoffs, we can laugh at Atlanta for not even getting a WC

I understand the point you're making, but it doesn't matter if we win the division by 1 or 5 games. 4 games up in the loss column in August and fairly healthy. I think we'll get it.

Oh for freak's sake, don't you remember the 2006 NL Central? And wasn't there an NL West division winner that went 82-80 a few years ago?

Lock of all centuries that his bat wakes up vs the Nats this weekend:
