Cheesesteaks, Cincinnati chili this trip? I hope they have good ventilation on the flight and in the clubhouse

Enjoyable win for the Washington Error Gatherers - long may it continue...

Fillies with a tame 9th. If Finnegan had started the 9th a shade better in Game 1, Nats are 2-out-of-3 in Philadelphia.

I think Lord is a better starter than Williams, who should go to the bullpen. Lord tired. Given how he has pitched, I'd rather "stretch" him in the majors than at Rochester. Soroka is a "yet to be judged" starter.
