The best week in Nats history?

10 wins in a row. 7 of them 1 run wins. 5 of the last 6 by WALK-OFFS. I have NEVER seen a week of (non playoff) baseball like this. If you aren't paying attention to the Nats right now, you are missing something special....

Might have been the loudest I ever heard Nats Park, in that incredible 6th inning.

Doesn't seem to be oppresively hot and humid, so that's a plus. But bet the house against Lincecum.

especially don't watch the DBacks but I caught two Nationals walk-offs flipping channels. I asked myself, "what are the odds?" Not that high in my case as Fox Sports Arizona is next to ESPN on the Cox channel lineup.

I never seen or heard anything like that in sports really. Kinda reminds me of the '98 Cardinals season where they won the last 3 games of the season by comebacks and game-winning field goals to make it to the playoffs for the first time since the 70s w/ the exception of a strike shortened season.

Week 16



Week 17 - the kick that sent them to the playoffs
