I agree with this synopsis of the game. This may have been the dagger. Taking nothing away from the Nationals, the Giants would have to really puke this one up for the Nats to come back. Two straight at home, one of them with our ace. If the Giants lose two in a row at home, both of which will be to close it down, they do not deserve to advance.

It was the perfect time for the Nationals to once and for all bury the referendum on their manhood. San Francisco starter Tim Hudson three days earlier talked about how the Giants' greatest attribute was found between their legs, the implication being the Nationals lacked in testicular fortitude what they brought in talent. This played poorly in a Nationals clubhouse, certainly because it was a slight and just as much out of concern the seed of truth Hudson exposed might germinate if bathed in enough playoff light. For all of the great performances Saturday, all of those that proved Hudson's thesis unfair to apply writ large to Washington, the final score showed a harsh reality.
The Giants had a pair and the Nationals didn't.
