Orioles-Nationals gate comparison No. 4
So I was asleep at the turnstiles last week, when the Orioles and Nationals had three home dates in common. It had been so long (nearly two months) that they’d both been at home that it wasn’t on my radar….

Not a good sign from those Mets
Something didn’t sit well with me as we left Shea Stadium on Sunday. That wasn’t a good way to end the homestand, not a good way to head out on a season-high 12-game road trip. The Mets went 6-6 on…
