JR - I figured I'd use a quote from your era.

I have wondered about Ralph Kramden's anger management and abuse issues.

Does anybody follow this division? It's pretty remarkable. Two months, almost 60 games into the season, and the whole division is separated by a game and a half. And every team is over .500! GO NATS!!!

Washington 31 26 .544 -
Atlanta 30 26 .536 .5
Philadelphia 30 27 .526 1
NY Mets 30 27 .526 1
Florida 28 26 .519 1.5

What's amazing is that last week Florida was in first and now they are in last.

In an NL east note: Smoltz throws 4+ innings of perfect baseball today and ends up with the loss when Erstad runs over his catcher.

Caught the tail end of a local sports cast (DC area) and there was something about this being the first time since 1933(?) that a Washington baseball club was in 1st. place this early in the season -- or something to that effect.

I'm guessing it's the first time they've lead the league this late in the season.

Hey, anybody seen the Red Sox/Cubs score?



I heard there was a boatload of people coming in from New England ready to pay up to $2,500 a ticket. Hope it was worth it...

First time that they've played each other since 1918.

How'd that one turn out anyway?

It was close: 14-6. And the only reason it was that close because the Red Sox hit 2 out in the top of the 9th.

Hey, I probably could've done the plate that game!

I knew the Cubsters won today. I watched the game on tv. I was wondering how the one in 1918 turned out.

I'm not sure; I must've been napping that day.

So rocky,

Just how good are those Nationals? Tough visit to RFK, huh?
