Sunday Smorgasbord 9-7
 
Not content to just play out the string, the Nationals completed an 8-1 homestand this week and then took two of four from Atlanta including today's come from behind win in extra innings . Of course, it wouldn't be a week for the Nats if somebody wasn't sent to the Disabled List and this week's lucky winner is Ronnie Belliard . Ok, so he wasn't actually sent to the DL but he's done for the ...

While We Were Out...
 
As the saying goes, "The Female Dog is Back!" (this is still a family blog folks...) so let's get on with this because we've got a lot of ground to cover... Yes it is a bit of moot point, but Tomas Holstrom should have just tossed Brooks Orpik into Marc-Andre Fluery in Game 1. The goal would have counted. Did anybody else notice increased attention to goaltender interference calls in the NHL ...
