It was pouring at 6, so we didn't want to trek down there, find tickets and then have it be rained out. So we went out to eat instead, which ended up being a good decision.

I haven't followed the Nats recent drafts very closely, but how diligent have they been at following the MLB slotting system? This may allow Strasburg to slide...

I think one of those will likely be available whether the Ms pick 1 or 2.... I’ve heard through the rumor mill that the Ms are coveting either a DH or a closer for their first pick.

So right now, we're tied in losses at 101. However, we have 60 wins to their 59. Our win percentage is .373 but theirs is .369. That half-game gives them the statistical advantage and gives them the worst record in baseball.

So if we both lose today, we get the first pick. I hate to root for them to lose, but today I am.

The last lines: But the Mariners we won't be slamming. Cause they're the AL West Champions Boy, the town it sure is a-changin'! Made me want to cry.
