    Catch the Nationals Next Week During the Final Season at Shea Stadium

    Hey, Nats fans! The Nationals will be heading north to face their division rivals, the New York Mets, next week at Shea Stadium. Seats are still available for both games. So put on some red, grab your fellow Nats fans, and head out to Queens to support your Washington Nationals!

    Tampa lost again so that's 1 more game we gain on them if we hold on.

    don't know why Cakes is posting that.

    Pedroia pulled during the game. He was 0/3. There goes my 5 game hit streak.

    Twins -160 lost the Tigers 6-4

    Red Sox -142 lost 15-8 to the Rangers. Wakefield sent to the showers early. Was extremely wild.

    Braves -140 lost 8-5 to the Nationals

    Orioles -124 lost 5-1 to the A's

    Angels -120 lost 7-6 to the White Sox

    the biggest favorite was Cardinals -165. No big favorites, no big upsets. Oh yeah, and two games were postponed. Mets-Phillies and Oakland-Baltimore, due to the same storm.

    Gamecenter in the 3rd inning of Yankees-Mariners:

    Betancourt to second on fielderĀ“s indifference.
    Betancourt singled to left.

    I'm assuming that's a mistake.

    Chris Young, normally much better at home than on the road, went into Miller Park and had a perfect game through 7 and two thirds.

    Gabe Kapler broke it up with a solo homer. 10-1 Padres as they have just about completed the upset.

    The Blue Jays are now 3rd in the AL East. That is all.

    They're the Cubs. Did you honestly expect anything else?

    The Cubs will make the playoffs.

    anyway...

    Dodgers -152 lost to the Padres

    Indians -135 lost 14-3 to the Orioles

    Brewers -125 lost 5-4 to the Reds. Reds score 3 in the 9th off the leaky Milwaukee bullpen.

    No, I've been posting proclamations of doom all over t'interweb all season long. I was almost converted to a believer in late July/mid August, but no, we're out of it.

    He was friggin pumped rounding first, I've never seen him show so much emotion. To paraphrase, he's now a "True Red Sox".

    Ugh. Probably shouldn't have used Papelbon in that last game in Texas.
