...And Whoever's Playing the Nationals

[Benjamin Grimm]

I predict that the Mets will go into Washington with a 6-game lead. (Mets will win two in Miami, Nationals will win three of four from Atlanta.)

If that in fact happens, the Nationals can take two of three from the Mets without things getting at all scary in the standings.

I had this exact same thought last night.

*fingers crossed*

I figure 7 and that the Nationals split.

That fine young man Matt Wisler -- his mom is Wisler's mother -- goes for OTOFT, the Atlanta Braves, a unit that's clearly been saving its strength for the task ahead. Opening the series for the Beltway Benighteds is Jordan Zimmermann and his superfluous extra 'n'.

First pitch at Nots Park, 7:05 PM. Skip Caray, Pete Van Wieren and Ernie Johnson should have the call on the Superstation...but won't.

[Frayed Knot]

Wisler is pitching like his mother and won't even finish the 2nd inning.
So I think we can pretty much figure on a six game lead before the night is over.

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, the Braves suck big-time.

[Benjamin Grimm]

We'll get our shot at them too

[Edgy MD]

They really gutted themselves, though, didn't they?

I understand the teardown that has to take place in order to have a future, but you threaten the future too by forcing the few remaining players you hope to be a part of it to carry on in such a hopeless and demoralizing present.

But now, I guess it's all about the new park with them.

The 2015 Braves: As good an argument for relegation as I can come up with.

And they better roll over for us too. I thought there'd be a game worth watching tonight.

didn't we just win 6/7 from the Phillies? Let's see what the Braves do the rest of this series.

[Guest Mr. Met Puppet Guy]

I can't believe we drove all the way down just for this, Mr. Met.

What's that? No, you can't drive home ... . Because you've had a few too many, THAT'S why.

C'mon, let's pull for the Braves here. I don't care how dirty it feels. Ohhhhh, oh, oh-oh-oh...

I'm rooting for anything that Mr. Met Puppet Guy is rooting for, short of a prostate check that is.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Mr. Met Puppet is the best new screen name in a long time.

Braves up 2-1 in the 8th

[Benjamin Grimm]

Braves still up by one going into the ninth.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Atlanta has two runners on and nobody out.

But they don't score.

Now the Nats have the tying run on 3rd w/1 out in bottom 9

[Benjamin Grimm]

Braves didn't score. Nationals have tying run on third with one out.

Wilson Ramos K's.
And Matt den Dekker is their final hope

[Benjamin Grimm]

Two out!

And MdD ties it w/a single!!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ugh!

[Frayed Knot]

Now Werth has singled, the Braves have yanked their closer, and it's Anthony Rendon up vs Pete Moylan (I thought Moylan was out of the league like five years ago)

[Frayed Knot]

Going to extras in the nation's capital.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves don't score in top 10
Harper leading off - and I don't think he's made an out in like four days or something. Mainly he's walked like 30 times in the last week.

[G-Fafif]

Ya ask the Braves to do one thing...chumps.

Let's Go team that' about to start playing the Nationals.

[Centerfield]

This is late, but I just wanted to chime in here and give a big old FUCK YOU to the Braves.

HOLY CRAP YOU FUCKING SUCK ATLANTA.

Just hope they continue to suck this bad. We have 7 games left with them, Nats have just 3

This!

[Edgy MD]

That's a real tank job by the Braves though.
