2 Nice Wins

The Caps beat the Pens tonight. Nothing here you can't get elsewhere, but it was a pretty fun/difficult game to watch. Ovie and Cindy Crysby both had hat tricks, but Ovie's domination of most of the last 10 minutes was the real story. David Steckel wins the Lunch Pail for mucking up his second playoff goal. I vow to root for Ohio State one time for every goal he scores. So far, I'm pulling for the Buckeyes over Navy and Toledo (I would have cheered for them over USC anyways).

Now on to my niche, the Nats. They had a nice 9-4 win tonight over Houston. Lannan wasn't particularly sharp it looks like, but the Nats got 15 hits and drew 8 walks (and 1 HBP) while Hanrahan and Mock closed the door. Would have liked more than 2 runs off of Brian Moehler, but you take what you can get I guess.

Good day to be a DC sports fan, and we are!

Wednesday Wrapup

Just a few things:

Hokies QB Tyrod Taylor will play on Saturday. Not that it really matters against Furman, but he'll get into game rhythm with his receivers (well....with Greg Boone) and hopefully be ready for Georgia Tech in 10 days. Thank God.

The Nats are lowering season ticket prices significantly. I still bet they will sell 20% fewer season tickets next year at least (unless they go big in FA...I'll wait for your laughter to cease).

Chico shows his Pittsburgh Penguins fanboy side in his chat today. BOOO CROSBY! YAYYY OVECHKIN!

Don't think I ever passed this link along. Go and rate your favorite team's players defensively when you get a chance.

Not a whole lot else going on. Hopefully Odalis sends Utley a message tonight. Regardless of whether or not he intended to hurt Flores, he did. I view baseball as an eye-for-an-eye sport. Utley needs to get chin music tonight.
