This series will go 7 games.

Note that I said, "if the next 3 games go like this one, it's going to be a painful series to watch".

I think the Nationals sweep the Cards in 4. Even if that happens, though, I'm not gonna hang my head too far. The Cardinals, like the Nationals, were darned near dead at the All-Star break. Nobody saw them winning the division, I know I sure didn't... not when they were firmly entrenched in 3rd place for most of the regular season. I sure didn't see them getting to the post-season and certainly not this far. They've got talent, but they're maddeningly inconsistent. Despite all of that... they still finished in the top 4, so I'll take that.
