Nats ended the slide last night with a two-run walkoff homer in the 9th over the D'backs. Our new young player, Harper (19!) was three for four.

Nats have been on fire, but dropped a couple games off their lead. Atlanta is challenging. Last night's game against the Mets (Nats won 5-4 on a wild pitch in the 10th) was crazy!

Well looks like the Phils have figured out how to win this season, just saying.

They lost a heartbreaker today. Papelbon couldn't close it. Lee looked good and Halladay threw well last night. Long long way to go though and the Nats are going to be tough.

How bout those Nats!!! Amazing...

I'm a Phillies a fan but barring a miracle or total collapse of some higher placed teams they are done for this season. I do hope the Nat's take the division as I was a Davey Johnson fan growing up in Baltimore and he has done an outstanding job for them. I like their youth, experienced vets, and they are hungry.

They are playing extremely well right now. I wonder if the brass will stick to the plan for Strasburg with a pennant at stake?

MsPerky

I think so.

Yeah - they're not hurting for pitching otherwise. May give the Braves a bit of an advantage down the stretch - if Ben Sheets holds up. Same surgery - same concerns.

Well, the Nats won a big game against the Braves last night to go up by five games. It was a crazy finish - walkoff run on an error in the 13th. Two more games against them tonight and tomorrow.
