My hometown baseball team (that would be the Washington Nationals) had an odd mix of old and new yesterday: weekday afternoon game played… on the Internet. Yeah, broadcast live on YouTube, it was refreshing to see MLB embracing the new medium.

Unfortunately for the Nats it was the same old result. With the loss they held on to last place in the NL East, already nine and a half games behind the Mets.

That hurts in any era.
