1 - We're still around .500 this late in the year - a rarity for us.

2 - Our last 10 victories have been by one run - the longest such streak in MLB since 1942 (Chuck either you or Mark Sr will remember that, right? )

3 - Our coach quit in mid-season - and the team had a winning record at the time!

4 - Last night, a batted ball hit our pitcher in the nose......and the ball STILL went into center field (I mean almost right over second base and into mid-center)! Totally bizarre that the ball had that much zip on it after hitting a player in the face and bloodying his nose!

5 - We continue to wait patiently on Strassburg and Harper. We have some good young talent and the future doesn't look too bad.

6 - If anyone would like to make us an offer on Jason Werth, I'm sure the Nats will listen - making ~$15M/ yr and hitting .219? C'mon man!
