    Just thinking the same. How can they play any better and us any worse.

    Need that elusive 10 run inning, that’s all.

    Nationals got to sit at home and watch the Astros vs Yankees and you can tell they prepared well for our lineup

    So series over or don’t underestimate the heart of a champion?

    It ain't over but it sure feels like it is.

    I'm just glad I didnt pay big money to go to either one of these first games!

    I’d honestly be in absolute depression mode right now if it were not for 2017. Now I’m just disappointed, but also tip my cap to the Nats.

    Let’s not forget the Yankees raped the Astros for 3 straight games in 2017. The team looked dead in the water and then came back to life to win the series. I’d much rather get raped in Game 2 than later in the series.

    Both meltdowns started by an error.

    I blame a lot of this on being overconfident...from the players, to the fans, to the media. All I heard for two days was Astros in 5, 6 at the most...it's like nobody noticed how bad we were actually playing

    I say series is over. The Nationals have done some kind of blood magic to be this good. No one was ready for this.

    Great point. A sense of entitlement. "We want to be a dynasty" "We want to be Golden State" - Just play the game hard and hustle.
