Thank you Giants for another torturous game yesterday! I was nervous all day. I didn't watch the game when I was at home, and only listened for a few minutes until I had to go somewhere. That's when I heard Buter Posey hit the grandslam. I was screaming and shaking like crazy. Then I had to get off the freeway, so I could regain my composure and get back on the road.

I can't believe the Nationals lost that game. | |

I thought for sure the NL would come down to the Reds or Nationals, just goes to show inexperience is a big factor. How the Nats handled the Strasburg situation was also a big one, they really screwed up with that decision. "Never let nasty stalkers disrespect you. They start shit, you finish it. Go down to their level, that's the only way they'll understand. You have to handle things yourself." | |

Many people around baseball disagree with how the Nationals handled the situation.
Bob Nightengale: Baseball executives say the Washington Nationals' playoff run is not a feel-good story. Bob Nightengale, USA TODAY Sports 11:18AM EDT October 11. 2012 - It was painful to watch, almost heartbreaking. The nation's capital has gone 79 years between playoff appearances, but saw the Nationals get humiliated Wednesday in their first-ever home postseason date. It almost makes you feel like sending flowers and sympathy cards. So why are we hearing laughter and celebration all across baseball? The Nationals might have been the most compelling story this summer, but suddenly they've become the most hated team in the game. After being embarrassed 8-0 by the St. Louis Cardinals and falling behind 2-1 in their National League Division Series, there was no compassion or a scintilla of empathy for them. Instead, we kept hearing the same refrain: They got what they deserve. "If we don't win the World Series, I don't care who does," one general manager told USA TODAY Sports, "as long as it's not those guys. "They don't deserve to win it. Not after what they did." Said a National League GM: "I hope they go down in flames. I hope it takes another 79 years before they get back to the playoffs. That's how strongly I feel about it." The Nationals, baseball executives say, brought this on themselves. They were the defiant ones. They were the ones telling the world they were smarter than everyone else, shutting down ace Stephen Strasburg after 159 1/3 innings, believing they were protecting their prized asset for a lot of playoff games in their future. "We'll be back," Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said after they clinched the National League East title, "and doing this a couple more times." That was the quote heard 'round the baseball world, with general managers and executives making sure everyone saw it. Who do they think they are, the Yankees? Are the Philadelphia Phillies going to defect from the NL East? Are the Atlanta Braves retiring with Chipper Jones? What if the Nationals don't get back during Strasburg's stay in Washington? What if this is their best chance to ever get to the Series? How do you live with that? And how would you like to be Ross Detwiler today? He's the poor soul taking Strasburg's spot in the playoff rotation, which in three games has yielded a 9.00 ERA with 25 baserunners. Now, he's the one responsible for saving the season. Win or lose today, the Strasburg talk will never completely go away. Nationals players, particularly veterans, have grumbled and might sound off more once they depart. "I don't think there's any way around it," Nats outfielder Jayson Werth said. "It's going to be a topic." The shame is that general managers, executives and scouts greatly respect and admire Rizzo. He's a scout's scout, the one who turned a laughingstock into one of the most talented organizations in baseball. Who knows, maybe Rizzo is even right this time. Maybe he'll get the last laugh, and the Nationals will win the World Series next year, and every year until Strasburg hits free agency. But one more loss, and the reverberations of the Strasburg decision will begin. | |

The article is 100% on the money. In pro sports, nothing is guaranteed. You have to go for it when you have the chance. The opportunity might not be there next year, especially if Philly & Atlanta do their thing. Nationals fucked up. | |

Damn right. The crazy thing is, they didn't need Strasburg to pitch all the innings he did in the regular season. They finished 12 games ahead of the best non-playoff team in the NL, which means they could have easily skipped him in the rotation once or twice a month during the regular season if they really wanted to keep his innings down that badly.
So I don't really have a problem with them keeping his innings down, but I have a HUGE problem with the way they chose to do it. "Never let nasty stalkers disrespect you. They start shit, you finish it. Go down to their level, that's the only way they'll understand. You have to handle things yourself." | |
