Yaaaay! Pinch-hittin' Pete Orr (+0.168) singles home doubles machine Ryan Zimmerman (+0.304) for the winning tally

Yaaaaaaay! Mike MacDougal (+0.206) comes in to throw four pitches and get the game-winning ground out.

Well done! MacDoody, Tyler Clippard (+0.203) and Garrett Mock (+0.242) combine to hold the Braves to one run.

Man, I can't wait for Fox's contract to end in 2013.....maybe MLB can figure out how to please all the fans, then...

I love how the late-inning signs of life for Atlanta are represented...All Hail the Doogle for ending it...

(whispers) After Riggles stretched Clippard too far…

Riggles went with his chili dog gut and escaped with a win again......

heh

I like how we all looked at each other [virtually] when Clip came back out for the 9th!

Go Nats! Streak!

Way to end the season. Looking forward to seeing Det pitch…he’s a future champ. lets end this season with a decent performance.

Taking this one from the Braves takes all the pressure off (no sweep...) .....

And the Braves can wallow in their misery without any what-iffing and if-onlies……

(sorry Braves fans, but you did have a good run and overtook the Fish…)

Another win!

Guess I have another condensed game to watch. Good to see the Nats finishing the season winning a few.

Tommy Hanson's performance alone is worth a watch...he was dominant...
