Hard to argue with you in Monday Morning Managing. Greinke was going so strong...I am glad that neither on these are "my team" but it should be an interesting end.

Washington Nationals

When the wheels come off...boy do they come off.
Now in top of 9th, 6 to 2 so Nationals are highly likely to win their first ever modern era World Series...congratulations Washington! Entertaining, I watched most parts of 4 games.
Played endless softball and hardball as a Sacramento kid when baseball fields were everywhere, fly-ups or work-ups at recesses. Amazing series fact is that all games were won in front of opponent crowds.

Expos win! Expos win! Expos win! Expos win! Expos win!
To all the players who suffered through being an Expo...Congrats.

Man, baseball is my favorite spectator sport since I rooted for the Senators as a kid back in the 60s. It's so cool to have a WS championship in DC!!!
As time goes by and the details of this WS are lost to the general public, it will always be known for that unprecedented fact.
The players did it, but GM Rizzo is the man that put it together and is the common thread over the last half dozen years of good baseball in DC.

Great series. Both teams deserved to be there and either one winning would be cool to me. Preferred Nats because National League and Stros had alredy won it recently. Happy for all DC friends and Stros fans can be proud of their team effort all around as well.
Wow, Straburg to opt out of contract to become a free agent. Wow..Will he join Bryce up 95?
I guessing he goes back to Washington or more likely to the west coast (Dodgers or Angels) where he’s from.

This sign made its appearance at the championship parade celebration held for the Nats in DC last Saturday:
Perfectly captures the sentiments around town.

That sign unfairly lets the Wizards off the hook!!! And should have DC United included with a title trophy (assuming their last win was recent enough to count - it was more recent than the Redskins at least.)

What do you say when you sign a new salary contract for $245 million...
Merry Strasmas!

Uh oh. 
That free agent thing works both ways: Former Washington Nationals star Anthony Rendon signs a seven-year, $245 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels. The big winner in this is might be super-agent Scott Boras.
Boras scorecard over last ten days:
Cole: $324M.
Rendon: $245M.
Strasburg: $245M.
Moustakas: $64M.
Total: $878M.
Still to come: Ryu, Castellanos, Keuchel.

I'm going to guess no. Pujols was a couple of years older when he went to LA. And Pujols still had really good years at first for LA... maybe just not quite too the standard he set in St louis.

He was horrible in LA. (Ha, not that bad) Never should have left St Louis where he was king.
Robbie Canoe made the same mistake leaving the Yankees and his culture in Nyc. Never the same.
