Opportunism

Bottom of the 8th, 2 outs, 3-3. Chipper Jones golfs a good pitch for a single to center, then tries to steal second. Guzman can't handle what
looks like a good throw and Jones is safe. The Nats intentionally walk LaRoche to get to Francouer, who is hitting about .450 in the last week. He bloops a ball to center that Vidro can't reach and it's 4-3.

Contrast that with the Nationals congenital inability to capitalize on opportunities.
