The Nationals are pretty nearly out of the Wild Card Race, and most teams would probably have given up by now. We'll be honest--it seemed to us that the Nats were on the verge of giving up a few times over the last two weeks. But every time it looked that way, the Nats found some way to win and stay in the race, even if only barely.
Last night's win was another such effort. The Nationals' 6-3 win pulled them within three games of Florida and Philadelphia at the top of the race. While we're dreaming, we'll point out that if the Nats can sweep the Mets, their schedule is favorable for a bit--they play the Padres, the Giants, and the Mets before having to face Florida and Philadelphia to close out the season. They'd have to win each one of these series and probably sweep more than one and, yes, that's a lot to ask, but it's possible, right? And so long as it's possible, let's remember that we can watch playoff race baseball in DC!
Go Nats!
