Nationals 5, Phillies 4: The most exciting yet underrated play in sports? Oh yes, that would be the walk-off HBP. Don't forget to thank Ian Desmond for ducking out of the way of his own HBP and then hitting a 2-out, 2-strike, game-tying HR in the 9th.
And don't forget to thank Mother Nature for the rain to chase Roy Halladay from the equation.
And don't forget to thank the boatloads and busloads of Phillies fans for filling up Nationals Park this weekend, spending their money, and effectively contributing to the pot to extend Ryan Zimmerman. Because that's happening soon, right Mike Rizzo?
