I’m feeling very good going into today’s Game Four against the Nationals … assuming they’re able to get the game in. Rain is currently slated to start around game time, and pretty much never let up. You know how Chicago weather can be, though, so I’m still holding out hope for a window. If the game is postponed to tomorrow, the Nationals will be able to go with Stephen Strasburg in Game Four on normal rest, and then Gio Gonzalez in Game Five (if necessary) on normal rest. They can skip Tanner Roark, by far the lesser starting option, entirely.
So … rain, rain, go away.
For those wondering: the game must be completed in its entirety, so there are no early finishes in the playoffs. One way or another, if this game starts, it will eventually be completed.
On to the Bullets …

Bold strategy, but we're 2-0 this #postseason when being no-hit through five innings. #FlyTheW pic.twitter.com/rPlUSHZVlO

I'm all for good-natured ribbing in the bleachers, but when you attack Bryce Harper's hair, you've gone too far. pic.twitter.com/xQmTRqUfdp
