    I hope the Nationals stomp the Cubs butts into a mud hole. Strasburg pitched a hell of a game last night, watched it prior to the Yanks game. Taylor hitting that salami was priceless. Dusty Baker has had some really bad fortune with post season appearances his team will get a "W" this evening

    Rooting for the Nats means being for Harper....don't know if I can go there.

    Not a fan of Hot Dog Bryce myself, he can go 0/4 and the Nationals can still eliminate the Cubs. Next to beating the Indians for ALCS the coolest thing the Yankees did this year was to sweep the Cubs at Wrigley.

    ...IMO, Harper is probably the most over-rated player I've seen in recent memory.

    Watched the whole game. Gonzales choked just like back in the '12 playoffs, ditto Scherzer in relief as he did in the '13 ALDS. My question to GM Rizzo would be why in hell do Washington Teams come to the playoffs

    Note to Bryce Harper: Despite past speculation, you will not free agent to the New York Yankees at a 30 mil per year contract. Why a guy named Judge plays right field the right way . Thirty mil a year player, hell you ain't close to Giancarlo Stanton and he's getting to muc. h.

    In my view the Dodgers are as disgusting as the Cubs.

    Max isn't a Reliever or so he showed...

    got to hand it to Davis. Here's a interesting article of stats, on being the 5th Pitcher to record a Save in PS, with 7 outs or more, as well as the others, then some more. Davis has had a long history of throwing more than the normal closer would.

    Davis or Chapman? Maddon obviously cared for stamina vs Chapmans flaming out...

    One of the sloppiest back and forth games, seen in PS; with a lot of balls in the dirt, wild and errant throws, balls squirting past fielders, a break down of fundamental play by the Nats D-

    Love the Cubs myself, sad for Dusty, next Bum-p off LA, and CK, screw Dave Roberts and most who wore red hose... ~!~

    ...Cubs win !...glad to see it.

    ...Nats once again choke in the PS...Harper once again disappears in the PS and proves that he's nothing special.
