Want someone to say something nice about the Astros? Turn to Nationals manager Davey Johnson:
(But the Astros) are a good little team. I mean, their record is horrendous, I understand that, but they've got some good little players and they've got some pitchers. They battle you and they don't make a lot of mistakes out there. People can say we were flat coming in here. No. We weren't flat. Those guys got some talent over there too, they battled us every at-bat and this is a ballpark anything can happen in. I was proud of our guys this series. It wasn't flat to me. We battled from the get-go."
There you have it. i guess.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
