Two of the better baseball games you’ll ever see were played yesterday in San Francisco and L.A., seven beautiful hours of after work time for those of us on the East coast. Obviously I was disappointed to see my hometown Nats lose their Game Four against the Dodgers, but was unnecessarily joyous in seeing the Chicago Cubs close out their series against the Giants in highly dramatic fashion.

This turn of events produces a delectable Game Five matchup Thursday night in D.C., when all baseball eyes will be on Nationals Park.

Alert D.C. bosses now: Friday gonna be a little slow to start.
