What a great series. Last night Joe Torre passed Sparky Anderson to claim the fifth spot for all time wins by a manager, and O-Dog hit a home run. I can’t believe the defense put up by Orlando Hudson, how some of his grabs in the last few games didn’t end up being ESPN Baseball Tonight Web Gems I will have no idea.

But more importantly in baseball. The Nationals took the rubber game at Yankee stadium for their second win vs the Yankees in 3 games. Pretty amazing considering they had only won SIX GAMES on the road all season before that. Also, as it happens, it was the first game at new Yankee Stadium without a home run. I have a love for the underdog and would love to see the Nationals make an NL east pennant in the next couple years (as long as the Dodgers knock em out in the NLDS or NLCS.) Go Dodgers! :)
