Kieboom hits his second homer, and Joe Ross looked really good.

15-0 ain’t going to win us the division.  Atlanta isn’t going to go .500 the rest of the way.

The goal at this point is to win 82 games, which could be tough.  Another goal would be to pass the Phillies for 2nd in the East, which 83 wins might accomplish.  8-6?  It's possible, if Davey finally sits Solis down.  That guy didn't lose the game tonight but he's just been bad mojo all season.

We can still win the division if we win out and the Braves go on a colossal losing streak.  I still believe!!

Why go to Canada when you can pick up some of the good stuff in D.C.?

In October it's legal.  Would've been just in time for the Nats customary NLDS loss.

so... we're 6.5 back of the WC.  Win out and we end up at 88-74.  That means we need LAD and COL to go no better than 6-7 the rest of the way to tie either or both of them.

I know it's really, really, really unlikely, but look at the Nats schedule vs. the rest of the teams ahead of them in the WC. If the Nats dominate the Fish and Mets and can somehow get to within 2-3 games of the Rockies before that last series, things could still get interesting. 1% chance, maybe, I get that.

It's great to have hope, but honestly, the Nats aren't going to pull this out. It's one thing to have blind faith, but false hope isn't good (Foo Fighters - Sonic Highways documentary). I wouldn't be surprised to see the Nats sneak into second place in the division though, mostly because the Nats schedule is lighter than the Phillies is until the end of the season. Phils have 7 against the Braves, 3 against the Mess, and 4 against the Rockies, where the Nats have 5 against the Fish, 4 against the Mess, and 3 against the Rockies.

I'll say it again  ....  man if we could have won a few of those games when both Philly and the Barves lost.     Damn.
