so what would be more "Nats-ish"?  Winning the first two and getting everyone's hopes up?  Or getting swept by the Mets?

Sweep the Mets and then get swept by the Phillies.

[Bookman]

I started the year supporting the Orioles and Nationals.  A fan with no hope for the rest of this year.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Mets might actually catch us this year.

Thanks. I've already seen Black Panther. It was OK. I'm fine with making GDT's

Try Nationals and Mariners.  Two teams that gave false hope at different points in time and brutally snatched it away.

Game.

[mitlen]

I kinda like the unis.    Have "slow pitch" written all over 'em.

[DCFan]

Just turned it on. Is this ugly uni night?

Gio's pitchin'.

[DCFan]

Gio's pitchin'.

crap, gotcha.

[mitlen]

crap, gotcha.

The game could get ugly.         In the poll, I picked Gio as the Nats' pitcher to give up the most runs:

6. Which Nationals starting pitcher will give up the most earned runs in any one of these 6 away games?     Gio

[Bookman]

Martinez always leaves Geo in until he gives up 6

It looks like he’s well underway.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Gio freaking sucks.
