Would be great if the Barves could lose some games. They went 8-2 while the Nats went 9-1 and only managed to gained one game in the division. I feel like the only chance we got is to sweep them in the remaining two series, 7-0.

but it's against those teams that the Nats crap themselves

Joe "Cody" Ross tonight please. It's time to put an end to Ramos's streak.

The Braves are ridiculous. I thought there was a glimmer of hope, but the division is officially theirs.

Flip two of the head to heads, and we tie the Barves at 95 wins.

The ones that got away:

June 22 - 13-9. Rosenthal, Ross, Grace team up to spit the bit. Anibal somehow survives 6 innings and leaves with an 8-4 lead. Rosenthal has I think his final disaster - 3 runs, no outs - and, along with Rainey, allow ATL to tie it up in the 7th. Nats go on to grab a lead in the bottom of the inning, only to see the Barves get to Ross for 4 in the 8th. Grace graces the Barves with another gratuitous run in the 9th.

July 19 - 4-3. After trailing 3-1 into the 9th, Nats tie it up with a 2 run rally. Davey elects to bring Rodney back out for a 2d inning of relief. Walk, single, walk, single.

July 31 - 5-4. Nats rally late with 1 in the 8th and 2 in the 9th to tie the game 4-4, only to have Doo give up a dinger to Donalson in the top of the 10th.

The series from 9/5 to 9/8 deserves a mention, not for blown leads but for 3 straight late-inning comebacks that ended 1 or 2 runs short.

Nats had their chances after the deadline. They choked them away.

What I kind of like about that list is just how representative of the Nats problems those blown saves were. You have the final straw for Rosenthal, you have Davey pushing a one inning guy (Rodney) into a 2d inning, and you have second half, pre IL Doo (or was it the game he was back and then got put back on the IL).
