Fantastic game! Mr. Nolan truly put that heckling magpie in his place with that 3 run homer! What a great play! After sweeping the Dodgers, this team knows it has the capability, but it has to show up every game. The Nationals are one tough team, if the Rockies can make it that far, they will need everything they have, and a whole lot more than they have thus far put out. The Cubs? Eh, they aren't the same team that won the championship. 



One thing is for sure, this team, and especially the trade with Mr. Tulo, can now be judge a success in improving this team. The pitching still has it's bad days, it's young and needs to improve and mature, but at least they show promise, whereas before it was pretty hopeless with a dismal outlook. Bud Black was a good choice to do the job with these pitchers. 


Great game! When Mr. Nolan hit that home run, and stood up on that heckling fan after crossing home plate, I was so happy to see that. The man has the fire of a true champion!
