"We’re fine. We’ve put ourselves in a great position. We’ve played well all year, and we have two weeks left of playing baseball. Everything is right in front of us."
(Ryan Zimmerman, via Washington Post, 9/17/2012)"I feel fine about where we're at."
(Davey Johnson, via Nats Insider, 9/17/2012)
Braves sweep Nats. NL East lead down to 5 1/2 with 16 to play, but no worries...

Dude, he's right... no reason to worry. Nats have 16 left to play, Braves 14. If the Nats play .500 baseball (8-8), the Braves have to go 13-1, since the Nats own the season series tie-breaker. That's .928 baseball.
A Nats collapse now would be even more epic than the Braves' collapse last year. Know why the Braves' collapse last year was so shocking? Because it basically never happens.
