Re: What, no Natitude?

Not even a peep about the Nats making the playoffs? That is almost as incredible as the cost of post season tickets.

*PEEP*

I can see us taking the division. I have doubts about making it to the Series, though.

Me too, but it is baseball and stranger things have happened.

I haven't posted anything because nobody seems to care.
The Nats are one helluva team this year, including #1 in the MLB power rankings. Who cares? All they do is win, yet this continues to typify the attitude of so many "fans":

Best record in baseball, best ERA in baseball-- nobody thinks the team is truly any good.

I never said I don't think they're any good. I waited 52 years for "my" Giants to finally win the Series...so I know how a team can go from awesome to wtf in just a few games.

No, but you "have doubts" they're good enough to go to the World Series. Well, they ARE good enough-- end of story.
Which of course doesn't mean they will go. In a short series where the loser is eliminated, it's not always the 'best team' that advances.

But these Nats are for real, and history shows that the 'best teams' advance more often than they don't.

I find it quite odd that there's not a major groundswell of support for and belief in the Nationals as now a fine, first-rank team, quite capable of not only going to but winning the World Series, yet every time the Redskins win a single game early in the season-- the same Redskins who seem to do nothing anymore except go 5-11 every season-- people start pulling out "Bandwagon" references.
Puh-leeze. What a freaking joke THAT is!

You go, Nats. You go, babies!

Again, you are putting words in my mouth. All it takes is one key injury or screwup and that fat broad singing. Even the greatest players have bad days. That IN NO WAY means they or their team isn't good enough. I'm simply being realistic: We've seen them blow comfortable leads that was "collapse out of nowhere."

The *ONLY* thing we can count on the next few weeks is being on the edge of our seats a lot. Make sure your cushions are up to it.

My cushion is up to it. I've even lifted my self imposed ban on watching them on MASN. I think that the only thing going against them is their inexperience in the playoffs when the pressure is on.
But for all we know, they will just say screw it, play like they have for most of the season and have a great time doing it.

Yep, that's the way it ought to go.

And we appreciate that, but I would rather they had it clinched by now.

I'm glad we clinched but how we did it worries me going forward in the playoffs.

They knew they wanted to win, they played teams that had to win. Now they have to win but with a difference because they are going to be the chaser, not the chased.

Maybe some of the pressure will be off (or at least changed) and they can just go out and play again.

They sure have made it interesting up to now.

The fact they seem to be playing some of their worst baseball of the season over the past couple of weeks should definitely be cause for concern.

On the other hand, a good team that's been running cold is very liable to start heating up again more sooner than later-- so there's a chance the Nats could hit their stride again just as the playoffs begin. I hope that's the case.

Regardless, it's been a great season for them, a hopefully 'breakout' season which propels them to the status of World Series contenders for many years to come.

Playoff baseball in Washington! Bring it on, and let the chips fall as they may.

What's the big secret with Wednesdays game time? They're acting like it's the launch codes or something.They know who is playing and where they are playing,what's the big deal?Maybe they don't want people to watch so they're keeping it secret.
I think it has something to do with MLBN having the rights to ONE game,so I guess they will wait until the last moment to grab the game with the highest projected ratings.
