Just win the next game.

Did it!

The wild card is almost definitely out of the question. Thus, the key games are the 9 against ATL and the 9 against PHI. Going 7-2 against ATL would give us a real shot. To win these we must play sound baseball. Fingers crossed.

Hard to predict this team. We went to the Satirday night, Sunday day games last week...Saturday saw the Nats get runners on third three time with less than two outs...saw a bases loaded strikeout by Hairston, another by Harper. Sellout crowd seemed to lose all energy. Extra innings, and the Nats lost.

On Sunday, Zimmermann started and got bombed. First time I have ever left a Senators (as I call 'em) game before the final out.

Weird.

(I did get to show off my geographic memory by finding my way to North Capitol Street, Michigan Avenue, past Catholic U, over the "new" bridge over the B&) tracks , past Turkey Thicket, past Bunker Hill Elementary...which looks solid and inviting up on its hill, just as it was when CT and I went there (with a third wing...I went to kindergarten in what was the "new" wing in the olden dayes), down Ager Road, out 23rd Avenue in Lewisdale, University Blvd, just beside the world-famous Tick Tock, and so on.)

Yes, indeed. Partly to see Northest , which was my area, and to see the edge of PG County that borders Northeast.

Amazing to see that Old Soldiers Home has become a planned community, but the water treatment plant (?) still exists at North Capitol and Michigan Avenue. Nice to see all the green along Michigan Av between Turkey Thicket and Avondale. Shopping center is still there...had the liqour store where we bought Reingold "chug-a-mug" six-packs, since the drinking age in DC was 18 for beer and wine.

And the Tick Tock hasn't changed!

Dear Nats,
It's ok, us fans who didn't experience the Senators don't have anything to judge you on at this point but making the playoffs last year does sting a little right now. Again, it really is ok... there's always next year.
