These are exciting times in Nationals land. The Nats are currently in control of the NL East!

We realize that someone without any imagination, or joy in their life, might say that the team has been eliminated from the postseason, and is currently 15 games under .500.

To them we would point out that all of the remaining games for the Nationals are against either the Mets or the Phillies, two teams separated by 1.5 games in the NL East. In their last two games against the Mets, the Nationals have come from behind and sent a clear message that they are not going to roll over for either team. They seem determined to make both teams work for each victory, and the fate of the NL East could very well be decided with the Nationals on the field.
