Can easy be too hard?

Have the fans of DC made the Nationals job of winning too hard? Let's examine what we have here. Oh, but a mere year ago, we in the land of no representation had no boys of summer to cheer or sheer for or about. Yet, with a blink of an eye and a couple of drug deals with MLB by the mayor, we, the lonely lost souls of summer are playing ball in the mist of the land of the policy wonks. Who would of thunk it. I can remember thinking if the Expos, because at the time we didn't even have a name for the team yet, could win 75 games it would be a glorious time in the land of Sunday morning talk shows. Even with the controversy with the Baltimore Orioles, everyone remained positive. We did not expect much because we had baseball. Well, the Nats started off strong and kept going. I looked around and damn it's September. Well sports fans, I checked today and my adopted team is two and a half games out of the wild card race, but fading fast. After losing the week end series with St. Louis and the Braves rolling into town for a three game set many have written the Nationals off. The sports talk radio and the local fish wrap basically have said..... Nice try......You guys did good. WHAT!?! Are you kidding me. No. You don't give them a pass. Play ball! It is not ok. We can't make it easy for them because our expectations were so low going into the season. Two and a half games out. Just look at it like this. If we get into the playoffs, we actually could go somewhere. We have three pitchers that match up with any three pitchers in the national league. So no, they don't get a pass. No it is not ok to mail it in. How would they, the Nats, like it if we did not show up for a big game just because we thought that we have done enough. We are going to stand behind you whether you win, lose or draw, but you have to shoulder your part also.
