Ahh, my bi-polar headache has left me. The O's took the rubber game tonight, 4-3. And guess what? The winning run was unearned, a problem which had plagued the Nats earlier this season. The Nats had committed 51 errors in their first 59 games, with an abundance of unearned runs costing them several games. They had gotten out of that rut and had only committed 3 errors over their last 30 games (leading MLB during that run). They also game in season game #90 tonight on a 13 game errorless streak. Well. that went away with the error, only the 4th in the last 31 games, and the unearned run, which I think was the first such run (maybe the 2nd:redface2during the 31 game stretch. At any rate, it cost them the game. Tied for first again with Atlanta. The O's are riding the crest and are in 1st place, 3 games up on Toronto. Once again the O's bullpen came through and kept the Nats from coming back and made Chen a 9 game winner. Glad this fratricidal series is over.^&grin -- Al
Congrats to the O's, did not get to watch any of the series
Regarding your later comments Al, about the O's bullpen lacking a true ace. THat's been their weakness for quite some time, IMO. Chris
