Can someone tell me what kind of weeds I have? See pics

I'm thinking this is crabgrass, but I want to make sure. It is taken over my yard. I have sprayed it twice in the last month, and it gets worse each time.

boy, I'm no lawn expert, but as I looked at your pics and compared them to others I saw online, that sure looks like crabgrass to me. But I don't understand why it is still spreading even after you've treated it.

I've always just removed mine by hand by regularly pulling it whenever I watered (the roots come up easier). But my lawn doesn't look quite as large as yours. Aside from that, I've always tried to keep my "regular" grass as healthy as possible as a defense against crabgrass and weeds. Part of that has involved keeping my mower on the highest setting, and keeping up on lawn feedings (spring, summer, fall). It also helps to over-seed once in a while and make sure bald spots get seeded.

Wish I could help more.
