It was Lombo's birthday too! What a great birthday gift!

It was Lombo's birthday too! What a great birthday gift!

...and the day before yesterday, the birthday board (normally runs between 4th and 5th innings) recognised the birthdays of Gio Gonzalez and (two days late - we didn't play on the 17th or 18th) Sean Burnett. It looks like this will be a regular (and nice) thing.

This playoff-clinching 91st win pulls us even with another one of Walter Johnson's relatively early teams, and our next win will match the number of wins of our lone World Champion:

99 - 1933 [pennant winner]
96 - 1925 [pennant winner]
94 - 1930
93 - 1932
92 - 1924 [World Series winner], 1931
91 - 1912, 2012
90 - 1913
87 - 1945
86 - 1969

What is this even about? Everyone was on their feet in the 9th, everyone knew what it meant.

I think the 8th inning and the top of the ninth the crowd seemed really passive. But they lit up for those last 3 outs.

Did I see Wilson Ramos in the dugout last night? I thought I saw him congratulating Suzuki after the sac fly but that can't be right. He's not in DC these days is he?

EDIT: I was right - just found the highlight on MLB.com.  Very cool that Wilson is here enjoying this.

Pretty sure it was him.

I definitely saw Ramos on the field after the game.
