The Nats begin their final series of the 2007 season tonight in Philadelphia. The Phillies, now tied for first place in the NL East have the Nats to thank for sweeping the Mets. The Nats have already lost the season season by at least a three game margin but can deny the Fleas a playoff berth in the final weekend. It should be fun.<\/p>\n
