Tom Boswell has produced another masterpiece in today’s Washington Post.  No way will I try to compete with his portrayal of the situation the Nationals are in.  And he did leave Nats fans with a glimmer of hope in which Jason Werth reveals how the Phillies were in dire straights in 2007-8.  Check it out for yourself:)

Can the Mets still choke?  Sure, but they are gaining on the third best team in the National League right now.
