Washinton Post Photo/Check out the crowd.
I was too busy watching the pitcher’s duel in DC yesterday between the Nats’ Tanner Roark (who has thrown seven scoreless innings nine times this year) and the Mets’ Robert Gsellman to watch the one between the Sox Ric Porcello (20-4) and the O’s Kevin Gausman.
Both were terrific games, both won on one mistaken pitch (or just good hitting), and both final scores of 1-0.
So the Nats’ magic number’ is seven (combination of Nats’ wins/and or Mets’ losses) for winning their Division and heading to the playoffs.
The Sox are currently in first place by just one game and are in a four way race with the Os, Blue Jays, and Yunkees.
Still, for a team that was in last place in their Division last year, 15 games out of first, the Red Sox Nation has to be pleased with their being in the race this late in the season.
I love baseball (beisbol).

Nice seats, Waldo.
Yes, it is nice to have a September that mattters for Sox fans this year, other than being close to a merciful ending.

Elizabeth – The guy sitting just to my left, Peter, is a friend and a partner in those wonderful seats, and he emailed me the picture this morning. Fortunately, because my ‘present’ wife has cancelled the Washington Post for a month, allegedly “to see if I’d notice.” Treachery.

I like your reference to the “Yunkees”. Never liked them myself.

I feel fully justified on the “stop order” for the papers. RAM would have seen the electronic version of this photo first and would have used the electronic version for this post. I’m tired of throwing out unread papers every day. And RAM can’t have missed the papers that much since it took RAM until today to ask me about their absence. So there. I might restart the papers at the end of the month. Or maybe not.

Point of clarification: I asked about the papers EARLIER today, before Peter sent me the email link. Otherwise, I never would have known about my prominence on the Post’s sports page.
