Well, the thing about that is that Strasburg wasn't as good a pitcher in the second half - liable to get blown out. If they'd tried to keep him going longer, that seems likely to have gotten worse. Some argue that they should've stretched out his innings count by skipping starts, but he's a 23-year-old who's used to…

Oh, thank god it wasn't just me.

Iceland and Australia are actually pretty similar, in some ways. They're the only places I've ever been where the tour guides actively try to troll tourists by telling them about all the adorable animals they eat. "That's right, [puffins/kangaroos] are delicious and we have them for dinner all the time! Oh, sorry,…

I've heard that sentiment a lot from fans of other teams, but most Nationals fans are still pretty cool with it. The guy who replaced him as a starter - Ross Detwiler - came into game 4 and pitched pretty dominantly.

Well. Baseball's done for me for the year! Cards-Giants and Tigers-Yankees? No fun.

I have to eat crow a little bit, because I kind of expected yesterday to be the end for the Nationals because Detwiler's last start against them was so awful. But he was crazy-good and it was great. TAKE THAT, STRASBURG DEBATE.

Oh, cool, that looks fantastic - I was considering that place when I was looking for somewhere to spend a few days relaxing after my next trip.
