    How will Nats find a way to lose tonight?

    Holy Cow...Nats just had bases loaded, 1 out, and couldn't get any runs. This just reinforces, again, that this team will always find a way to lose in a tight game.

    Right now they are up 1-0 and Lannan is pitching lights-out. Yet we know they will lose somehow.

    How will it happen?

    a. Nats lose it in extra innings
    b. Bullpen collapse
    c. Wild pitch that scores the winning run
    d. Lannan makes a mistake and gives up a homer
    e. An error that leads to Braves run
    f. Nats won't lose, Andrew you're an idiot.

    I vote for b. A small percentage of my bankroll depends on it as well.

    I like that. Hopefully bases will be loaded at the time!

    Smoltz has less than 90 pitches. We should see him in the 7th.

    Nats still have to get through the 9th. I'm not convinced they can do it. If they do, they deserve my money tonight. I can't believe what i have seen.

    Two unbelieveable line-drive saves by Nick Johnson that saved Braves scoring. What are the chances? Both balls were heading down the line while Braves had men in scoring position. Johnson caught both of them at +100 mph.

    I can't believe it either...I was so convinced that Smoltz would shut them down (which he did) that I put a unit on the RL as well.

    I liked Washington in thYs game. I did because I was fading Smotz for a loss. He was on winning streak and due for a loss. We can take look at past winning streaks for Smoltz. Smoltz is old and his stuff is decent but he is not an elite pitcher. In his prime, Smoltz was an elite pitcher.

    Everything has gone right for the Nats late in the game, including a Braves error.

    Goodnight.....back at it tomorrow.

    Indeed. Finally capitalizing on those base runners. Now if only I'd have bet this game rather than just using it in the contest, which there's no way I can win.

    You get the win , but your ideas were wrong.


    Smoltz 7 innings 1 run 10k's looks good to me.

    Ugh. If the Nats keep this up, they might ruin my bet on the under.
