Nah. If anything they’ve been talking up the Expos more.

I actually thought they were biased in favor of the Nationals myself. How many times did we hear how old Soto is? It's not blatant, and is certainly subjective.

Go Astros!

Who needs Ambien when you’ve got Joe Buck. Zzzzz.....

I have to disagree. As a Nats fan I was hoping our guys wouldn't have to board another plane.

I don’t think sweeping the Astros was in the cards, as much as the first 2 games may have given a little false hope.

Yeah, the announcers were ruining the game for me too. I decided to try something with my surround system. I put the audio through my 5.1 receiver and reduced the center channel down to -2 decibels to lower the main vocals. Wow! what a difference. I could hear the ump making the calls and the ball hitting the catchers mitt. All the stadium sounds came through. It was like I was going from the nose bleed seats to the home plate seats. If you have a surround sound set up and can adjust the center channel, give it a shot. I don't think I could ever watch sports the old way again.

If your system won't allow you to adjust the center channel, block the speaker with a folded towel or something. Your viewing experience will be so much better.

Great game tonight! Looking forward to Game 5.

As a lover of the game (who doesn't have a dog in this hunt), I always want to see it go to seven games and be a nail biter right up through the last out of the game.

The Astros finally showed up...

It's not so much that the Astros finally showed up, it's that the Nationals Walgreens did not!

In game Game 3 they left 12 runners on base and went 0-10 w/ RISP. In game 4 they managed only four hits. Give 'some' credit to the Astros pitching, but since returning home the Nats have basically had ZERO offense, especially when it counts!

Indeed

Urquidi made a great start yesterday, relievers not so much.
'Stros offense was back on track.

...

They gave up one run total, and that was largely due to an infield hit off the pitcher's leg. Tough crowd!
