Nat’s Magic Number: Still 11

Our Washington Nationals (formerly your Montreal Expos) (89-56) lost (again) to the Atlanta Braves (83-63) 5-4 last night down in Georgia (where the Devil went down to according to Charlie Daniels).

Oddly, after losing the night before by way of a walk-off error, this time the winning run came by way of a hit batter.  

Jeez.

The two play again tonight at 8:00 pm on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball.
