Wednesday night fo' Beisbol?

Justin "The Maxican" Maxwell (delicious pun) at the plate now. He's actually a terrific defender, which, hopefully that means he can cover every position...strangely including third; Ryan had an ugly error there in the second.

The Maxican walks!  Jesus in the DL, we've replaced him with Wil, of the Nieves order. Actually, he pounded the ball as well as anyone in BP this afternoon.

Speaking of-

Nieves grounds out, 5-3, pushes two to second and third with two outs, and John Lannan (Imagine!) at the plate.  Stranger things have happened.

Anyway, speaking of which, I had great conversations today with Mr. Kurkjian, whom I'm so glad to see. And just as well, Dave Sheinin of the Washington Post in the clubhouse, and the both of them are just terrific.  That's all I feel right talking about.

John Lannan strikes out to end the bottom of the second. Just Like Starting Over.
