Nationals @ Pirates, Game 3

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Maybe a walkoff hit that was not a homer? I think I remember Avila interviewed at Nats Park after a game.

(Looked him up in Baseball Ref. Incidentally, Alex Avila is NOT related to Bobby Avila, the fine 2B for the Cleveland Indians in the '50s)

his dad is Al Avila, who was a long time front office person in the Tigers organization.  Maybe even a GM or deputy to Dombo.

It would not be a Nats game without bullpen drama.

FIFY

[hohoho]

Had em all the way!

Someone else will have to add the curly-W. I don't know how.

what you do is select "modify" in the first post (it's next to the quote button on top of the post).  Under the subject line, the second line is "message icon."  there is a drop down list of icons, and, at the bottom, is the Curly W selection. Select the Curly W, then save.  That should show the in the subject line and on the topic list.  I can do it if you don't want to try.
