Hi everyone.... I know this FanPost comes a little bit too late for tonight's game, but I was wondering whether any other Snakepitters were planning on attending either of the final two games this year against the Rockies? I'll be at Sunday's game, hopefully watching RJ get his # 295, and I'll be sitting in section # 122, behind home plate. (But not directly behind home plate, that's the VIP/scout section. Or something.) Might be fun to see some of you fine folks if you're at the game. I promise not to be too loud. :-P

Hello again, Tampa Bay Rays fans. Just wanted to stop back in and say mad props once again for winning 80 games for the first time as a franchise. All your fellow '98 expansion team fans at the SnakePit are still pulling for you, ESPECIALLY over the freaking Yankees and Red Sux. Hold off those big budget teams -- show 'em you don't NEED to buy a championship. Keep it up, and GO RAYS!! DBACKS-RAYS WORLD SERIES!!

Dbacks 2, Padres 2, middle of the 8th.

GET....SOME.....RUNS!!

[Note by Skin Patrol, 08/21/08 6:52 PM EDT ] Promoted. I'm no good at this kind of thing and want to add only that my thoughts are with the surviving family through this difficult time.

Redskins O-line coach and team legend Joe Bugel's 36-yr old daughter died today of a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer. Jasno La Canfora has an Insider post about team reactions. Coach Bugel, who has been on a leave of absence from the team to spend time with Holly and the rest of his family, is expected to attend the funeral this week in Arizona, and then return to the team.

In other sad news that may not be quite as personal to Redskins fans, longtime NFL Players' Association head Gene Upshaw died today of pancreatic cancer -- just 4 days after being diagnosed, on Sunday.

I think I speak for all of Redskins Nation when I say that we'll say a prayer and wish eternal rest to Mr. Upshaw, and especially, Ms. Bugel, and wish comfort and happy remembrance to their families, and we'll be glad when Coach Bugel returns.
