I do not.

Giants get 1 start out of Bumgarner against the Nats. It will be in SF. It's on Peavy, Huddy and Vogey to find 2 more wins.
tall order to beat the Nats...but even taller knowing he can only go once.
inb4 Nats choke.

dah well.
the playoffs are actually ready to begin now.
no more looking into other team's lanes. Dodgers have their hands full Friday.
EFF ALL teams that aren't the Dodgers.

I remember seeing that pic a ton in 2012, but I never noticed he's wearing the same 1989 NLCS t-shirt I had for like 5 years.

The Nats have a better team then the Giants on paper but there isn't a D.C. sports fan alive that isn't nervous. We just find ways to gag in these situations. If the Nats were located in like, Fort Lauderdale, they'd probably steamroll their way through a pennant.

I do think we'll beat the Giants, but it wouldn't shock me if we lost. All starts with Game 1. Stras needs to set the tempo early and put the hammer down. We have to face Hudson Game 2 who historically OWNS us.

Nats in 4.

I'd take the Giants if Bum was gonna pitch games 1 and 5.

but now they have succy Hudson and meh Vogelsong throwing...I'll just refrain from touching this one.
leaving room for a Nats choke.

wouldn't surprise me one bit if Strasburg goes out there and gives up 3 runs in the 1st or 2nd inning.


of course.
let me get back to focusing on the Dodgers and our series.

So, we have momentum and bulletin board material.

Quick, let's jam this thread with as many cliches as possible. Get some pictures of Jeter in here, stat.

don't forget the Nat's choke job I've mentioned twice that gives them credit for losing and not the Giants for winning.
