I actually root for St. Louis. Respect their franchise a lot. Do it the right way, and on a budget just a little higher than ours. Dodgers, $240 million, F that!

I suppose that I don't have any real reason to hate them other than they are always annoyingly there in a dull sort of way. At least the Dodgers are amusingly dysfunctional.

Saw someone here I think call them the Spurs of baseball. Sounds about right to me.

Saturday night was about heroes and ghosts and everything in between. The marathon at Nationals Park included mastery and meltdowns, players warming their hands by a heater in the dugout and little-known relievers pitching their guts out. The Washington Nationals and the San Francisco Giants engaged in the kind of game that makes you love baseball and curse its existence and pace around the living room and ask the person next to you, what inning is it, again? They played the kind of game that makes you feel alive until it makes you sick to your stomach.

The longest — and surely most torturous — playoff game in Washington baseball history became the longest game in all of postseason history. It lasted until the last man out of the Nationals’ bullpen, usual starter Tanner Roark, yielded an upper-deck home run to Giants first baseman Brandon Belt in the top of the 18th inning. Nationals Park turned pin-drop quiet as the remainder of the Nationals’ 2-1 loss in Game 2 of the National League Division Series played out, the last gasp of an epic, perhaps the final whimper of a Nationals season suddenly in jeopardy.

Britt worthy! Well written.
