You know what I really REALLY love?

That the !@#$ing Nationals, who routinely send awful messages to their players, are 2 games in back of the Mets and are underperforming yet again.

You guys had the best record in baseball and fought your asses off for the #1 seed? Tough shit, we're shutting down your ace because his health is more important than your shot at a championship. No big deal, we just hope you understand that this one player is more important than ALL of you.

Hey Harper, sure you play with your hair on fire night after night, but remember that time that you didn't sprint down the line on a grounder? Take a !@#$ing seat kid, we don't stand for that lack of hustle; nevermind the fact that you play harder night after night than every other guy on this team. And then 2 days later the dude ruins his entire season diving headfirst like Pete Rose.

Hey Drew Storen - man what a great story coming back from our attempts to bury you behind Rafael Soriano because Pete Kozma got butt-lucky against you once. You've turned yourself into one of the top 5 closers in baseball despite all our best efforts to undermine your confidence. But hey, tough shit - we're going to trade for a damn malcontent who demands to be installed over you as closer despite being worse than you, then we're going to guarantee his contract for 2016 just to make double sure that you don't get the closer gig in your walk year. Hope you didn't think performance actually mattered for shit here.

The way the Nats shit on their own guys is just a complete mind-****. People wonder why they constantly underachieve but nobody ever points out just how poor of a job they do in establishing a team culture. I still think that one of these days the raw talent will win out, but they've dicked around long enough that the Mets have up and put together one of the best rotations I've ever seen and they may just take that division by the throat.
