The Nats pretty much deserve to lose.

Man, I would hate to be a Nationals fan.

The Rizzo and Dusty clown show is something to behold

It sure is. Oh well, wait and see I suppose: the final story of this bizarre episode will really be written on the field today. All signs point to Roark getting lit up, a Cubs W, a trashed reputation for Strasburg and Dusty, etc. But then baseball's a weird game.

Dusty complains all season long about needing bullpen help.

 

After much contemplation that looked more like mental masturbation, Rizzo acquired Doolittle and Madson.

 

With a playoff game on the line, Dusty leaves both Doolittle and Madson in the pen and the Nat's go on to lose the game.

 

Makes sense doesn't it?

Strasburg now expected to start.

Yessss.

Yessss.

 

Maybe Dusty will do what is right with the pitching today.

Yessss.

 

Part of me feels like this is the worst case scenario. Sick and/or pissed off Strasburg, under maximum pressure, and the whole thing is surrounded by an air of impending doom.

I think I prefer a sick and/or pissed off Strasburg over Roark.

Hopefully he dominates for 8 innings and they save Scherzer for relief of Gio in game 5.

That'd be beautiful.

What a clown college over in DC. It almost feels like the Cubs are getting a first round bye. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Kershaw twists his ankle walking his dog and can't go against the Cubs in game one.

 

 

Sounded like none of this was Nats fault and all about Strasburg and his agent making certain Strasburg is number 1 priority.

 

Then there is Max who will throw 100 pitches today if needed...although he already got paid.

Well, Strasburg already got paid too, he got a 175M extension through 2023 so I think he is good

This morning the Nats were +160 now it is a pick em

Got to say, Arrieta is a true beast today.

Got those short sleeves on in the cold/rain, has the mighty hipster beard, that guy looks like a true badass right now .

 

This just in, Trea Turner still sucks right now.

I hope the beast throws some meatballs and the Nats can score runs.

Guess he doesn't have any balls or guts

Strasberg looking great, despite his agent and finances.

Neither team can hit the ball.

 

 

I have to shake this feeling that the cubs have a lucky horse shoe up their butt and they are going to win it all again. Hope the nats can or the dodgers can do it.
