We can tell you we just happened to be around the corner here, dougs parents, he is from california, his father, mother, siblings were all here and they just happened to stop by the house today to drop off a tshirt for his mom. He was calm, cool, and collected. He will look around at the fans, at the 40,000 plus people who will be here today, take a look, soak it in, and then get down to business and that business is very important today as it is do or die time here at at t park for the Washington Nationals. Reporting live in San Francisco, suzanne kennedy, abc 7 news. All right. Thanks, suzanne. Shes right. It is do or die time. It is. Game time starts at 7 05 p. M. Eastern time an hour away. About an hour and six minute away here. This is a fivegame series. Whoever wins that has the advantage in this thing. The nats the Biggest Surprise in baseballs postseason. They had the best september in the league. They are 02 in october and the giants have them on the verge of elimination. The nationals are on the field right now. Were an hour away from the first pitch. To survive and advance the nats have to win three straight and in the red hot month of september the nats won only three straight against one team and that was the marlins. Horace holmes is in San Francisco. What is the mood of the team . I know youve been with them. What are they saying . Theyre very loose and very upbeat. They just finished batting practice just a couple minutes ago. Went into the cub house. You can see behind me on the field the field crew getting the field ready for the game coming up in just about an hour. Now, the team got into San Francisco yesterday. They were able to get some rest. Got in a short practice. Make no mistake. The nats are ready. We talked with Matt Williams a few moments ago. He said hes satisfied his team is up to the challenge. There is no need to have a team meeting. Everybody understands where were at and whats at stake. And, you know, for todays game, i encourage them to go out and let her fly like we always do. And, you know, and do things we do that got us here. Theres no need to try to change things now. The places we played well at this year have been the places that come out and try to get all over us and its our opportunity to step up. Well, they may like it out here in San Francisco, but you can see this crowd is ready and you can see that some of them have the brooms out looking for a sweep. That of course is the last thing that the nats need. Reporting live at at t park in San Francisco, Horace Holmes, abc sports. Back to you. All right. Horace. If he pitches like he did against the pirates the other night it could be a long afternoon and evening for the nationals. He has really been sharp. When he said just let her fly thats what they should have done in the first two games. I thought the nationals were tight. They played like they were the inexperienced ball club which they are. More bad news. The giants are 81 in elimination games and bochy is an outstanding manager who has won two world series the last years. Been there before. Absolutely. The whole thing is that they just got to hit. Both games, hes fired up. Ill take the blame because every time i show up. The thing is, why did they suddenly stop knowing how to hit . Well, that and why Matt Williams a rookie manager pulled Jordan Zimmerman when he was pitching a game perhaps every good as his no hitter. He was sharp as could be. Two outs to take him out and then drew storen again. Here we go the full season. We thought hed exorcised the demons and theyre right back. They are not out of it but they are up against it. The redskins are home tonight taking on the seahawks. Dealing with the maryland weather. Lets check in with chief meteorologist doug hill to see what the weather looks like for both games tonight. First game first. The nationals and the giants, San Francisco the past four or five days a recordsetting early october heat but the heat broke last night. Its absolutely gorgeous. Clear skies, temperatures, lower 70s we expect for game time. A little bit of breeze off the water. Now for the redskins, tonight it looks like ideal football weather. Clear skies will give way to some increasing cloudiness during the mid and late evening. Temperatures will fall through the 60s. There and landover, across the area there could be scattered showers in the overnight as you watch the frontal zone approach from the west. There are a few heavier showers north and west of roanoke, south and east of charleston, west virginia. But most of that will move to the northwest of the metro area. Scattered showers definitely in the forecast. Our temperatures delightful now. Low to mid 70s. Thats it. Increasing clouds. Should be a beautiful sunset this evening. Then some overnight showers.

The conversation online has transitioned from what the heck was Matt Williams thinking to lets hope we can pull off a win. We posed the question on our Facebook Page. Do you think the Washington Nationals can win today . One of those responding said, oh, the battled in a cold weather environment that made Nationals Park hitterunfriendly. San francisco will be 80 plus degrees today. It may sound strange but nats have a better chance of winning in San Francisco because of the weather. That make sense, doug . Not so much. Okay. So much for that theory. How about this . David russell says, i hope so. The o like the capitals. They get to the playoffs and knock off in the first or second round. At least the caps are consistent with that. And this one says, i believe but i also believe in ufos. I want to believe. There you go. Conversation still online on our Facebook Page.

Barbara burton is live at fedex field to look at what the seahawks can expect from the skins tonight. Hey, robert. Everybody trying to get up for this game. Kind of hard to get excited for this one. Its the same situation as the thursday game against the giants. Were talking about primetime. The only thing is primetime hasnt been that nice to the redskins in the past. In fact, theyve lost the past six primetime games. We have a graphic to show you. Those past scores, in fact on a monday in september the eagles beat the redskins 3327 following that on a sunday in october. The cowboys got them, 3116. Then on a thursday in november. Vikings, 34, redskins, 27. Then on a monday in november, 49ers got the redskins, 276. Sunday, in december, giants 24, redskins 17. And then we all remember this one, thursday, september 25th, giants come in and beat the redskins, 4514. We talked to fullback durill young and he says these primetime games have to change. Coming off a loss like that is embarrassing. We lost the last couple. We were talking and the last game we won on primetime was the cowboys in 2012. You know, deciding if we were going to the playoffs or not. I think looking at that we got to do something about it. We got to make people believe in us. First we got to believe in ourselves. Going out there, everyone is beatable. We just got to go out there and believe we can do it. Live from fedex, robert burton, abc 7 sports. All right. Good deal. Thanks, robert.
