If the MLB championship ever really does involve teams from around the world, will Pittsburgh allow Somalia to use the nickname Pirates as well?

I hate to tell you, but it's a myth. I'm sorry to see the news report you saw didn't check their sources.

A Banner Day in Your Nation's Capital!
Nationals (with an O), WIN - 4th time this month!!!!!! (Young pitcher has half the team's victories....).
Orioles, WIN
Capitals, WIN
DC United, WIN

(For the sake of consistency, let's leave the Wizards and Redskins out of this....although the Wiz got a new coach and Skins had a good draft!)

You gotta love a straight steal of home, especially when it's on "Mr. Pickoff" himself.

Video of Ellsbury stealing home.

Yet another no-hit bid tonight.

Matt Garza has completed six PERFECT innings so far against Boston.

Update: It's over.

Infield single to the pitcher by Ellsbury leading off the 7th ruins it.
