we are now 500 away from home - if this team had not have had that 9-1 home stand we would be in a very bad place right now - but people are thinking that was the Nats when I think the team is more like what we just saw these last three games - lost with a manager who doesn't know what to do with this team. They win despite what he does.

Walking off that many times is dumb luck.  9-1 was lucky, but they deserved it because they lost a lot of tight, extra inning games early on.  It's clutch and great to be able to make a good walkoff hit (the last one doesn't count), but they definitely were lucky to have those close games go their way.  It is somewhere in the middle.  The last two games (not this one) were close and had some weird calls/close calls/bad luck.  We didn't deserve to lose both of them, but we also didn't deserve to win 9 straight.  Things even out.
