I was busy last week doing various home improvement projects — now that’s a vacation! I haven’t blogged much about the Washington Nationals in that span, so I’ll try to catch up here. The magic number is 1 with 3 games to play. It seems like we’ve been in single digits for about a month. I’m getting nervous. Hopefully, John Lannan can shut the door on his all-time nemesis, the Philadelphia Phillies this evening and clinch D.C.’s first ever division title. It didn’t happen yesterday with Ross Detwiler on the mound against the St. Louis Cardinals, who play something like 30 miles from his hometown in Missouri.<\/p>\n

I’d be okay with those Cardinals beating the Atlanta Braves too, I’m okay with the Nats backing into the title. Just get it done!<\/p>\n

Saturday night was fun though, Michael Morse’s phantom grand slam was pretty awesome.<\/p>\n
