Chico Plays Big Role In Divisional Drama – The Post

Nats make Phillies nervous – The Wash. Times

Matt Chico denied the Phillies yesterday, allowing only run over six innings. That was win 73 for Washington. The loss puts Philadelphia in a first place tie with the Mets.

The Nats will likely have the same coaching staff (The Post) next year (The Wash. Times).

“Rarely has mediocrity been deemed so glorious” — Barry Svrluga has a review of the Nats 2007 season (The Post).

Thomas Boswell was actually at the game yesterday and wrote a column about it.

I watched the wrong game yesterday.

I wonder how good that half-smoke that Cliff won will taste if the Nats beat the Phillies today and the Mets win too. I’ll be a good friend and not call him should Washington win.
