Bryce Harper...

20th bomb for the rook.

I don't follow the NL as much as I do the AL, but it seems to me that Harper is making a good case for NL Rookie of the Year. He's at least proven the detractors wrong that said Washington panicked by calling him up too early.

Even though listening to him talk kind of drives me nuts, it is also big vindication for Davey Johnson who still has it.

Right. They took some heat when they unloaded Riggleman for Davey.

Since coming here from Montreal several years ago, this team has had to endure a lot, including bad GMs, bad managers, bad contracts for players that won't produce, playing games in RFK stadium which is not really built for baseball, and no fan support outside the last few years. For the people that have been with this team since they got here, and I'm sure those in the organization, this has to be extremely satisfying. In this day and age of win now, Mike Rizzo continued to preach patience to the local reporters and fans. It has finally paid off this year with the first of what we hope are many more postseason appearances. Now the real work begins!

Congrats to Harper and the Nats! Post season here we come baby!

Three outs away from the playoffs coming to DC for the first time since 1933.

[DU Ute]

It may have been his record, he was definitely on the top five list they showed. I don't remember.

You can't post stuff like this if you didn't catch who it was. This will bother me until I find out.

Mel Ott?

Harper owns the record for most extra base hits by a teenager. A record that has stood since 1935. Yeah, you read that right.

Mel Ott?

Edit: No, he started in the 20's

Nats rallying!

A win puts them into the post season as at least a WC.

Edit: Matt Kemp homers in the top of the 9th to take the lead back.

Watching baseball on a college football Saturday? No thanks.

Meh, been watching all day. Nothing on I cared about at 4:00 Eastern.

[Topper]

If you understood baseball, you'd be watching.

What if I don't wish to understand baseball? Actually, your analysis makes it more interesting.
