It's almost the close of the season -- hurry up, close of the season! -- and the next loss will be the one hundredth. Again.

Adam Dunn (+0.259) was our temporary HER0 for whacking #38 (+0.225) to briefly put the Nats ahead. But Livan Hernandez (-0.475) was the decisive g0at when he just couldn't get out of the fourth inning. I barely even noticed the three errors...

Well, I guess we can give Garrett Mock (-0.166) the default g0at tag because he gave up four runs. The Nats fell behind early and only managed a feeble 9th-inning rally to keep from getting shut out. The team is staying hard to watch.

Ian Desmond (-0.178) finds himself as today's g0at, courtesy of an out misplayed into a double (later scoring the go-ahead run) and some key non-production at the plate. One of us! Pete Orr (-0.155) couldn't come through in the clutch...
