"What can I say--just tip my hat and call the Nationals our daddy. We can't find a way to beat them at this point." But really, beat Cole, currently beating Verlander, ... tip of the cap to them. That's a good team over there. About to go home for two (three if necessary).
Again this is why I hate it when Houston teams are heavily favored and the talking heads pick us. I'll take the being the overlooked underdog anyday.
Got to give the Nationals credit for simply being more mentally tough. It's really that simply. It's more than talent.
