Let's see, another classic inability to score two runs off a sub-.500 team that plays us like it's Game 7 all the time.  Another road giveaway.

From the stats, it appears Johan pitched better, but it was obvious he needed to get out of that one inning unscored on and he gave up the 2-out run.  No good.

Next!

If there's any point to a Mets - Nationals series discussion at this point, that is.  Well, this Lannan must have been impressive.  Like more than half the Nationals probably, I've never heard of him (and I went to Nationals Park last week...), but he must be borderline spectacular to be 7-7 with this team.

The Nationals' pitcher tonight is 5-1?  5-1???  That's like half their wins!  And we've got Redding.  Ugh.  They might be favored going in.

Just checked ESPN, who has Washington favored 54/46.
