I hope the Nationals woke up this morning and took a good, long, hard look in the mirror. Do they know who they almost lost to last night? That was one of the worst Phillies lineups in god knows how long! Phillies pitchers gave up a million walks to them! I mean, ok, they didn't almost lose, but they did kind of almost lose! They allowed a rally! Last night, I said that lineup was more likely to be a nine man acapella group called The Base-Notes. I stand by that.
I hope you remember yourselves, Nationals. You may be having a season that is more akin to the seasons you should be used to by now (I maintain that last year was an outlier rather than the new norm), but you are still better than the lineups -- excuse me, "lineups" -- the Phillies are currently rolling out.
You wanna continue to delude yourselves into thinking you could make an improbable playoff run through the magic of the not yet completely unattainable second Wild Card spot? Then play better baseball.
Or don't. Watching you Nationals lose, against any team (but the Braves), brings me heaps and piles of joy and happiness. So win or don't win. EITHER WAY I'M HAPPY, FOOLS. WHO'S THE WINNER NOW, HUH?!
