The Cubs can handle that.

three losses. We should have those taken care of by Sunday. Our magic number for elimination right now is 18 (for both the division and wild card)

I feel like the Nats are a character in a Mortal Kombat video game right now. The stadium is dark, they're staggering around wounded, and the Cubs are looming in the shadows. Then a stentorian voice booms over the PA: "FINISH HIM!"

Smithian · « **Reply #303 on:** September 05, 2018, 02:03:31 pm »

The Nats are overdue or a 18 or 19 game winning streak.

That's the spirit.

September baseball is usually bad, with the mandatory 7 pitching changes per game. When the Nats trotting out the AAAA bullpen they currently have, it's brutal stuff.

If the Nats won out that would be the most frustrating thing ever because they would probably just miss the playoffs.

I don't think you have anything to worry about...

Well, I ended up buying the playoff tickets. I have such a huge group, I think I'd [irritate] a lot of them if there were a big comeback and we did not have seats. Rolls over to my next 2-3 payments for 2019 as a credit, so fine.

I though about that. But I’m not floating the Lerner’s an interest free loan...

still going to say 18-3 would do it.

2 wins and the Jason Werth dedication. Not too bad for 10.75 hours of work.

so watch this team get hot and go on a 14-5 run to close out the season, missing the playoffs by a couple of games.

While watching Gio's pitching carry the Brewers into the wild card and beyond.

Not enough games left against the Braves, where real ground can be made up. The arithmetic doesn't work. Surely one doubleheader sweep, where 1/2 game is picked up, is not going to change the arc of the season. C'mon!

Hot for this team is 10-9...

Maybe they need to have some scheduled double headers next season. They get a 4-game win streak the hard way - three rainouts, two double headers.

21 game winning streak to end the season. Greatest comeback in baseball history. Stuff of legend.

15-2

5 in a row and sweep of the Phillies. That pretty much snuffed out the Phillies' playoff chances.
