Marty, its been quite a ride. Seeing the Opening Day at Wrigley Field was quite a thrill for me. Now, let's close the deal and win the pennant!

Nats just won their 97th game of the year! They are division champs and are waiting to find out who their opponent will be on Saturday or Sunday in the best-of-five Divisional Playoffs. The Birds of Baltimore are also in! Wow!
