The problem i see here is that these commenters just don’t have enough “Natitude”… With more Natitude this fraud Nats team would have won the WS!… Where is the Natitude you 4 Nats fans?… You wannabe fraud fan base?.. Your team was a one year wonder that took advantage of the Phillies being hurt and the Braves not having any hitting… Know your place and remember to pipe down next season

Cubsfan, give it a rest. That ‘number 5′ team just beat the team with the best record in baseball. This series should’ve been an easy elimination for the Nats, that’s why we played them. Don’t take it out on the Cardinals because they were able to pull an upset. With your logic, we should just put the teams with the best records from each league directly into the World Series again, which will reduce the chances the Cubs will be back in it anytime soon by even more. Be careful what you inadvertently wish for.

No curly W for you, Rizzo. As a matter of fact, this team didn’t lose this game – YOU DID.

Bring on the hate. Rizzo fucked this team real good when he sat Strasburg for the postseason. And no, it didn’t have much to do with him pitching in a certain game/situation, but instead it was all frame of mind for the team. These guys had it in their heads that they were down a very important man and decided weeks ago that they were FUCKED. They couldn’t get over it.

I feel bad for the players. Sure, they could have somehow found a way to pull this game out last night and probably should have. You just don’t give away 6 run leads like that gentleman. When Mike Rizzo is your leader in the office, this is what happens. He’s such a bad ass from the streets of Chicago and ready to punk anyone that talks shit about him. What a joke. What a complete and utter joke. He blew this series for this team – as I predicted – and you know what? I absolutely feel like they will NOT return next year. Injuries will plague this team and I bet the only man left standing will be Mr. Strasburg.

Feel bad for the players on this one. They were screwed in the head long before the dance ever got rolling.

Mike Rizzo is the biggest idiot in baseball. OOPS…..I’d better watch myself! I forgot what neighborhood in Chicago he’s from.

As much as I rooted against the Nats. I kind of was hoping they would hold on, started remembering how much I hate the Cardinals pulling that last out crap.
Nats fans welcome to the club of heartbreaking, mindlowing disappointment. You are officially a fan base, great atmosphere last night. That said Ruben Amaro your on the clock cuz Washington Is not going away.

Wait…. Where is that amazing “Natitude”…. I thought we were gonna have more Natitude and “NatPride” in these playoffs…. I’m confused….. Clown team and a made up clown fan base….. Good work Cards

You lost me at the phrase “any true Nats fan.” I have yet to meet/find one of them.

I also hope the Nationals don’t make the playoffs after being this arrogant about “saving” Strasbourg. What are you saving him for, the Mexican League?

Had the Cardinals not blown game 1 this would have been a sweep. Don’t forget that. People saying Strasburg not playing is the difference are just making sorry excuses. The Cardinals WON this series, not the other way around. Blew game 1, dominated games 2 and 3. The Jim Joyce show in game 4 was a joke. And game 5…wow. Nats have a bright future, but we can talk about that all offseason. GO CARDS!! 12in12

The Nationals deserved to lose for refusing to play their best player. Also, ‘Nattitude’ is just dumb.

This is pretty much exactly what the Cardinals did to the Mets in 2006. And the Mets never really recovered. Hopefully the Nationals do, they’re a fun team to follow!

Cards again deliver most stunning playoff Baseball ever. Nats should have shown last years WS game 6 in the clubhouse before the game. I had the Giants sweep in Cincy for this year’s stunner, but WOW! Every series went to 5 games. I like post-steroid baseball! Can it get better??

The Cards vs. the Giants will make a much more interesting NLCS than the Nats vs. Giants.

You’ll get a title someday. The more losing you do in between makes the winning that much sweeter. Phillies fans when through a 25 year championship drought between 1983, when the Sixers won it, and 2008 when the Phillies won. We are still waiting for out first Super Bowl for the Eagles. I am old enough to remember the 3 Redskins Super Bowls. as well as 3 Cowboys Super Bowls and 4 Giants Super Bowls. The Eagles are always a bridesmaid. Being a sports fan isn’t easy. Hang in there.

Not that it matters anymore but I’d be more mad that during Freese and Desmonds’ at bats Storen disnt throw them a pitch anywhere close enough for them to chase. Storen choked. He was awful.

As all major sports have shown in recent years, you just need to make the postseason and anything can happen. The lowest seeded team has won 3/4 major championships last year alone (Kings, Giants, Cardinals), the NBA being the lone exception.

I can’t say I disagree, but let’s not lower ourselves. Only team we should be focused on is San Fran!

Go Cards

Thanks, but it will take weeks to get over this one, unless the Redskins make a run, and they wont. Not this year.

Clearly Shiva has never seen a Nats game! LaRoche was their MVP and Gio was their best pitcher – so what are you talking about? And don’t try to blame their losses on the Nats. MLB changed the rules to let a pretty crappy Cardinals team into the postseason where anything can happen. And it did. Congrats to the Cards and all, but they wouldn’t even have been there in any other year. Having Strasburg wouldn’t have helped much – the offense sucked until tonight and the Cardinals had our number. Oh well. That’s luck.

Questionable decisions by the manager no doubt, but im not sure any true Nats fan will say it didnt cost us the game. Im not sure tied after the 9th could we win it being deflated like that anyways. But what i dont get is how we eased up our aggressive swinging, and our pitchers pitched not to lose. Gio was scared of a grand slam and walked in a run, Suzuki and Storen both telegraphed the Slider and i dont get it. Molina in particular was late on both fastballs id stick with that until he either beat you or you beat him. And as late as he was, id expect Storen to win that battle. Just cuz his slider was so low they both knew it couldn’t be hit for a home run doesnt mean it needs to be telegraphed like that. But when you lose like that you can question everything. Not walking Kozma definitely made no sense, thats for sure.

It won’t stop…you are right though, really had nothing to do with Strasburg. In the end you really have to credit the Cards once again. Did you see some of those 2 strike takes. I mean, those were some pretty decent sliders. Couldn’t believe they laid off. Man, I thought the Phillies going out last year was bad….but this had to be horrible for Nats fans.

By: recoveringcubsfan

recoveringcubsfan — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 05:24:41 +0000

You are an idiot. Strasburg would have needed to hit some HRs in this series to help the Nats, who managed only 5 runs in their two wins.
