IT’S BEEN 86 YEARS!!!! 86 YEARS!!! 86 Years since a Washington D.C. baseball team has been in Baseballs World Series.
Last night the Nationals almost punched their ticket in the Baseballs Fall Classic – THE WORLD SERIES.
They lead the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 in the National League Championship Series!! But what is so great about this lead is that they only need one game to advance to the World Series; and the next two games are played here in Washington at Nationals Park.
Nat’s pitcher Stephen Stasburg was fantastic last night going seven innings, but in the seventh inning Strasburg flexed his right leg and reached for the hamstring.
NATIONAL’S MANAGER DAVEY MARTINEZ: “I was trying to explain to him, ‘Hey, you just grabbed your hamstring, so there’s a little concern.’” “He said, ‘No, I cramped up. It’s fine. I always cramp up.’ He said, ‘I’m staying in the game. I want to finish this inning.’ I said, ‘You sure you’re all right?’ He said, ‘I’m in the game!’”
NATIONALS RELIEVER SEAN DOOLITTLE: “It’s a little surreal,” “and I think that’s why it’s important that we don’t look too far ahead.”
Game 4 is tonight at National’s Park!! First pitch is 8:04 pm.
