Helps us out from the standpoint if Washington loses, as St Louis doesn't have anything to play for now

Dag, I was hoping the Dodgers could pull it out. Oh well, let the chips fall....

If the Nats win I would just sit everyone or play the starters just part time.
John Kruk said on ESPN radio this morning that the smart thing to do is play your regulars, let them get a couple of at bats, and then sit them. He said that for a regular ball player, 3 days off is an enternity.

I say play the regulars 5-6 innings. In about the 6th, sub in the non-starters of the following
Heisey
Paul
Cairo
Valdez
Frazier/Rolen
Basically, the guys you're taking on the roster who didn't start.
So whats the situation? If the Nats win we get the 2 seed and automatically get SF? Isnt that what we want?
Yeah, I agree with Kruk. Strike a balance beween rested and sharp.
And it's pretty much what we did with Arroyo and Latos (and most certainly with Homer too). Keep them on the regular schedule yet give them a less taxing pitch count to work with.
I definitely don't want a situation like the Yankees, where you're playing an 11 inning game in the drizzle and having your closer throw more than 40 pitchers.
i'm really torn if i want the #1 or 2 seed. Playing Atlanta would be the ideal matchup but also could have to face the Cards which would be bad. San Fran hasn't played all that good lately
I want the #1 seed. People are overly paranoid with the cardinals and I dont know why. They are the weakest link of the playoffs.
