(what I would love- Rizzo fires not McCatty- but Williams- and brings back Davey Johnson to finish the season starting on Tuesday).

I agree with this. I mean the Mets schedule is super easy as well, but all it takes is a 5 game win streak and the Mets going 2-3 for the Nats to be right behind them. Again, the Nats face the Rockies, Brewers and Padres over the next 9 games. Cannot squander that opportunity

Sounds like Rizzo is fully committed to MW

yeah if you told me after this week, we'd only be 4.5 out, while not really happy- I wouldn't have been distraught. I mean we go 1-6 and lose only 3 games. It could have been much worse....
