The Braves refuse to lose.

And Urena should be suspended for the rest of the season for that garbage yesterday.

Poor sportsmanship and a bad look for the Marlins.

Of course, Wilson Ramos tears it up in his Phillies debut last night. :bang:

So far 9 people are making a mockery of this poll.  Who voted for the Marlins or Mets?  I wish the Nats can pull it off, but at this point only the blind homers would vote for the Nats.

Oh now anyone picking the Mets is trolling. Most of you thought they were about to run away with the division.

Last night's loss was completely  and utterly devastating to the Nationals chances. And at the same time, a perfect representation of this season.

Lerners probably want the Phillies to win it all so they can maximize the numbers of “marquee games” or whatever they’re called next season.

Looks like the Braves will take it. Have to give them credit. They have built a very good lineup and the pitching has improved. Also looks like the wild cards will come from the west and central.

Best thing we can do is spoil the season for the Phillies, Dodgers, etc. Just finish above-.500 and piss off some mouthbreathers.

spoiling the season for the phillies means helping the brave- not sure that's something to get excited about

Imagine this scenario for a moment:  Nats sneak into the 2nd wild card and win the game.  On to the NLDS again and lose to the Cubs (in 5).  Zimmerman gets hurt in game 2 (no Adams to replace him), Wilmer Difo hits .115 in the series , Daniel Murphy hits .420 with 4 homers.  Awesome times.

If the Nats sneak into the Wild Card, they will win the World Series. Because that will means the Nats will be the hottest team in baseball.
