The Mets completed the sweep of the Nationals Wednesday night with a third straight come-from-behind victory. They also completed the Nationals season — they are done.
The Mets are now ahead by seven games. There are still 23 games left to play, but if the Nationals could not win just one game at home while leading all three, then they will never win anything. The Nationals are a talented team, but something is wrong with them. They simply folded like a cheap card table.
I mean, Stephen Strasburg was dominant into the eighth inning, striking out 13 batters.
