House of Cards

"I mean, and we've played good baseball. We've been catching the ball good and playing solid."

Beat Me In St. Louis.

Cards 3, Nats 2 (Friday): This one hurt. The good news is, despite another classic Lannan/Smoltz duel, we won't be subjected to an updated version of that "Rookie vs. All Star!" defining moments ad on MASN over and over and over again next year.

Cards 9, Nats 4 (Saturday): The good news is, Pete Orr.

Cards 2: Nats 1 (Sunday): Sweep completed, Mock good but no match for Wainwright. The good news is, Bryce Harper?

Meanwhile...

• Nats bullpen chasing history.

• More good news, via Nationals dot com: "Kearns return to Nationals uncertain."

• Farewell, Ronnie Belliard.

Thanks to that damn MASN ad, I can't think the name John Smoltz without my brain pulling the audio clip of that classic moments woman half-laughing it. "The all-star? Juh-hawn Smoltz (dismissive wave of the hand)"
