Note that the Washington Nationals franchise (formerly the Montreal Expos) won the NL East when Atlanta lost to Pittsburgh last night. Manager Davey Johnson is reserving Cy Young candidate and 21 game winner Gio Gonzalez for a start on either Saturday or Sunday, going with left hander Tom Gorzelanny for tonight's game, if it can be played at all after today's all day soaking rain. A good night for the city! And time to get our mojo working again!!!

Poo Yaille! We're getting creamed by the Cards tonight! We'll win the next 2 of the 3.

The Cajun/Creole selections are not rare. What they needed were some titles by Angelas LeJeune or Douglas Bellard and Kirby Riley. Still I am sure I will get it. I don't have most of this stuff.

Kind of grates on me that the local media is saying this is the first baseball postseason DC has seen since 1933, when DC actually had a dynasty in the Negro Leagues, the Grays (splitting time with Pittsburgh) until 1948. A collective decision to forget city history. I am not the only one on the DC baseball talk boards who feels this way, but 1933 seems to be the misinformation that's sticking in the Columbian district.

20th win today for Gio Gonzalez, and a strong case for the Cy Young award.

I think that was against DC, wasn't it? Don't worry, y'all will get better soon by building the farm system.

What? Chipper Jones should be a first ballot Hall of Famer! No contest. He's getting some nice send offs and prizes around the league on his final tour! Hoping we bounce back this week against the Dodgers. Going to the next Monday day game against Milwaukee.

Have a good one!

Whoa...leaving it out they are...not cool... See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/19/AR2008061902831_5.html "Cheney hoped that a winter's rest would help. His last major league win came June 9, 1964, against Kansas City. He went to Hodges in the sixth inning and told him the pain was unbearable and that he couldn't continue. "Hodges said, 'Ah go on out there; you can do it,' " according to Jim Hartley, who interviewed Cheney for Nats News, the newsletter of the Washington Baseball Historical Society. Cheney finished the game but told Peary he had tears streaming down his face by the end. When Hodges came by his locker to congratulate him, Cheney said, "That's the last win you're going to get out of me, you son of a bitch." His next start against Minnesota lasted three innings."

I think they are leaving out the part about Cheney never forgiving manager Gil Hodges for ruining his arm and shortening his career, making him pitch through a lot of pain. This is before Hodges' sainted days with the Mets.

Trying to think of how to describe Duquesne Whistle. Does it sound like old pop, like Hoagy Carmichael old? Are any of the songs you've heard country sounding? Pop Stoneman and Roy Acuff did songs about the Titanic.

That's a most interesting thing. It's not CDs that suck, it's albums. And if you mainly want individual songs, no point in buying CDs. This is a bit of a paradigm shift. MG well, i guess you could also call it the return of the "single" ... It's cheap, because even singles had two songs, side A and side B

Depends on the post season. I think Dusty Baker should be considered too. In the AL who's managing in Oakland? Shoot, if Baltimore gets to the post season, gotta consider Showalter!

First time I saw the video, I was just: What The Heck Was That???????? I still am, as a matter of fact. Strange little posse he's got walking around. And you don't know why!

Not holding runners on is something our pitchers will have to work on next season! Probably our greatest weakness.

Where did you find this piece of furniture? Or was it specially built for you? I am looking for this kind of shelving

Sat next to John Cohen of the New Lost City Ramblers at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in the audience for a performance by Tracy Schwarz and Ginny Hawker in tribute to the Carter Family.

It's a conspiracy to introduce fried chicken to the Dodgers' clubhouse! Seriously bad move to lose Gonzalez, who was the Red Socks' better hope than Ellsbury.

Reminds me to give my wife instructions for logging into the control panel of my website and account information for the server company. That website I certainly WOULD like someone to continue after me. As for my lps and cds, I doubt anyone would want them.

Master of the one-liner. Good writer! Unique delivery.

Ichiro? In their early days it was just maddening how bad they were at trades! The All Star team was full of players Houston had traded away. Joe Morgan, Rusty Staub, Denis Menke, Jimmy Wynn. Cesar Geronimo. And a bunch more.

Big series coming up tomorrow in DC with Atlanta coming to town. Is it payback time for the Braves, or time to lengthen our lead over them? Jordan Zimmermann on the mound tomorrow.
