Jayson Werth hit a walk-off homerun to keep the Nationals in the hunt. The Orioles needed 13 innings at New York but they tied their series as well.
Sadly, the Oakland A's lost their series to Detroit.
REAL moneyball will have to wait another season...
I am absolutely amazed about how much fans, sportscasters, and GMs are rooting for the Nationals to LOSE because they shut down Strasburg to protect his arm. AT the same time these same sportscasters are saying they think RGIII should SIT OUT the Vikings game to protect his future even if he does pass all the concussion tests. They think THIS young man should protect his future.
While I think that the Nats are being over-protected, Strasburg is their CROWN JEWEL. They want that valuable arm for years and years to come. Their chance of winning the Series this year is greatly diminished without Strasburg, but to root against the team because of that is laughable.
Now I REALLY want the a Nats/Orioles World Series. They could all bus to each other's stadiums and sleep in their own beds every night. And no one but me and a few friends would be watching.
