Never Seen Anything Like That Before

On to Game 7 in the World Series.

My son and I sat in stunned disbelief – rally after rally – we couldn’t believe what we were watching. One strike away from a championship. Texas couldn’t hold the lead. Twice. St. Louis never quit.

Rally Squirrels!

Truly a great game and historic! Wow. The game ended so late but it was worth losing sleep!

How can Game 7 top that one?

Awesome News

Way to go Washington Nationals.
 
This signing is such great news. It gives the community hope and dreams for a better day. Pitching is how teams win in MLB and this young man looks to be a future historic player. I am so excited to see him pitch and am so happy for the Nationals and for the Lerner family. Play ball! Kudos all around. Click here to read this front page story in the Washington Post.

Red Sox Nation

I went to see the Red Sox play our Washington Nationals last night. It was a beautiful night and a perfect setting for baseball. The Red Sox have a great team - and I mean team. They have strength throughout the lineup with great pitching and a great bull pen. They beat the Nats but it was a fun and well played game.
 
Last night’s crowd set all-time attendance records at Nationals Park and I bet more than two-thirds of the crowd were Red Sox fans. In my row, my son and I were the only Nationals fans.
 
When Ortiz hit his home run, I looked around and it seemed like everyone in the park was standing and cheering. Red Sox Nation was out in full force.
 
I know the Nationals can build up a big and loyal following and sell the place out on their own one day but more than 100 years of tradition have served the Red Sox well and winning a few World Series doesn’t hurt either.

Unseemly

Do articles like this one and this one seem unseemly at a time like this? Don’t these agents come off like used car salesmen?I have respect for their management skills but there is a time and place for everything. Squeezing every dime out of a club and a city and the fans in this economy just doesn’t sit well with folks right now. Keep your heads held up high. Now is the time to leave a little on the table. Make it up in good will for everyone in all segments. We are all in it together. There doesn’t have to be an ultimate winner and an ultimate loser in every negotiation. I think those days are long gone.
