No Joy In Mudville....

....both the Nats and Orioles lost in their quests for the World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees, respectively, last night. Especially galling was the Nats' collapse in the top of the 9th inning, when Nats pitcher Drew Storen blew a 7-5 lead, allowing four runs and a Cards victory, 9-7. Storen may need to hire a food taster from now on.
