Slick Billy Collars Mutts

"More than what we expected, exactly what I needed." (Frank Robinson, via Washington Post, 8/12/2006)

Slick Outshines Glavine: Traber Terrific, Tosses 7 Strong. Livan who*?

Nats nip Mets, 2-1. Here they come! First place only 18 1/2 away!

Rauch & the Chief pitch in with a pair of scoreless innings (both make it interesting, work out of jams)

Schneider leads the charge, offensively. We'll say it again in case you didn't believe it the first time: Schneider leads the charge offensively. 2-3, 2 RBI.

*AZ debut for the The Former Ace foiled by FLA.
