To say they rolled over is a bit of an exaggeration. 2 of the 3 losses were one run games.

I think the Phils will have a little tougher time with the red hot Marlins than they did with Atlanta.

Back from Nationals Park, our third game in a row. This one was obviously the most fun. A nice moment: when Santana came to bat in the 2d, the belching doofus behind me said "here's a strikeout" like he knew anything. At two strikes, he said "one more" and then Johan doubled. As I sat down, I said to my son, loudly, "there a strikeout." I'm sure the guy heard me. He only belched for the rest of the night. After the game, Mets fans high fived as we walked up the aisle.

Awesome! Glad you had fun -- and took care of the dufous!

When I saw Johan pitch in DC in April, he had two doubles in the game.

The man likes hitting in Nationals Park.

Yup. Especially pleased with The Schneid. HRs from the No. 8 hitter always seem to kill the other team.
