If the Nationals get eliminated from the playoffs, it will be interesting to see if manager Davey Johnson returns in 2013.
Should he return or retire? He is 69 years old.
Nationals hitters only had one extra-base hit in today's game. Doesn't sound like a 98 win team to me. Pressure is getting to the Nats.
St. Louis' bullpen gave up no runs, one walk, and no hits in 3.1 innings of work today. Talk about a nail in the coffin!

Matt Holliday is my position player of the game! 3-5, 2 RBI, R.

Key to a series victory for the Cardinals is to get ahead early in game 4 and keep the Nationals fans quiet.
The Nats are one game away from a winter full of tee times. Bats need to explode these last two games.

Where in the world is Stephen Strasburg? Mike Rizzo may have blown one of the Nats only chances to make a deep run into October.
Post Season experience will always out play young talent. It showed these last two games!
Kyle Lohse will face Ross Detwiler tomorrow. I'm going with the Cards to wrap it up in Washington.
Nationals fan are sprinting for the exits! Seems they gave up after the first couple of innings.
Bob Costas is the man, wish he could replace Joe Buck on FOX.
The Nationals need to bring out the bats tomorrow. If not, their 98 wins will be meaningless.
