Deadspin
Only to get disqualified by Screech, the world's most useless mascot, for cutting a corner of the warning track. He was just following Cartman's advice! That's okay, because I found Frank Robinson sitting with me in the bleeds down the right field line. As for the game, the Nats jumped to a lead with a two-run homer by Nick "Yes, SexyBack is still my batting music" Johnson. The Nats' bullpen does what it do: issuing a bases loaded walk to tie the game at 3 in the 8th. Wil Nieves, using that extra energy he has from not having to carry around that second "L" in his name, ended it in the bottom of the 9th with a two-run walkoff.
Of course, none of that may match Reed Johnson's painful looking snag in center.
- Red Sox lose! Yankees lose! Rest of the world wins! The Sawx had chances to win in the 9th, 10th and 11th, before Nathan Haynes drove to Carl Crawford to lift the Rays to a 5-4 win in the bottom of the frame. Giving up the winning run? The reliably terrible Mike Timlin, he of the 13.50 ERA. Meanwhile, in a non-bug infested (well, less bug infested) Cleveland, back-to-back homers by Jhonny Peralta and Franklin Gutierrez in the 5th powered the Tribe past the Yankees for a 6-4 win.
- Grasping at 'stros. The Houston bats awaken in time to rally in 9th off Jason Isringhausen, finished off by a Carlos Lee homer, to give them a 3-2 victory over the home Cardinals. The six-game winning streak puts Houston at .500, which may be slightly higher if you check their birth certificates.

Nick Johnson brings sexy back like Warren Jeffs brings monogamy back
You'd think Frank Robinson could have the money to update his headphones; I think I got a pair of those with my first Walkman in 1984.
Ape,
What name did he have on the back of his shirt?
Way to price out everybody from the good seats, Washington.
@J-No: Jose Guillen, so you know he's staying current with more than the headphones
Fucking Screech needs to die if that's how he's gonna treat Teddy.
Watch out for the big stick, you fat eagle bastard...
@Christmas Ape: A former baseball player and coach wearign a t-shirt with a players name on it? Is Frank becoming senile?
@the-Bored: I thought that was just the alternate meeting site for Congress once they closed Mount Weather...
@J-No: The fact he's working a giant crossword puzzle at a baseball game is cause for concern.
An unbreakable record now one number higher. Bobby got ejected again! Braves win! all is right with the world
mets completely and totally suck
Bobby Cox got his first ejection of the year last night.
@jmjonesjr: You said it much better. What's the deal well Pelfry and his mouthguard
@the-Bored: You'd think they could keep the good ticket prices a little cheaper since, you know, the team didn't actually pay for the stadium. Thank God my cheap seats stayed the same price!
The Marlins still have a better record than the NY A-Rods, despite having a lower salary. I find this quite enjoyable.
At first glance, I thought that was a Rolen jersey, with then a Cubs hat further down. Nats Fever!
@Slothrop: Ms. Wahoo is a wee bit younger and laughs every time I refer to the ipod as a walkman. Which is often.
@Chief Wahoo: My sister has the same reaction when I refer to my 2nd grade trip to West Germany.
