You're so right! Even worse, though, is how we do against the Marlins! Looks like your team is spoiling things tonight with a grand slam in the bottom of the 7th. We're now in the 10th and I can't see us having enough gas to go all the way for the sweep.

The last two DC games against Atlanta have been great for me! Tuesday we beat Tim Hudson, who has been very tough on us over the past few years, and last night we came from behind in the ninth inning to tie and went ahead with four big runs in the eleventh! Possible sweep if it works out tonight! .500 ball at this point in the season is more than I expected.

I can hear songs from home, where my Flash is more up to date than at work (sic). Here's one with Luckey Roberts playing piano: Bootleggers Ball, 1923, December 17, Victor 19247, recorded Camden, NJ http://www.loc.gov/jukebox/recordings/detail/id/9624

Good luck. The search and browse functions were incredibly slow yesterday, and I never could actually hear any music because my version of Flash is not the latest. Still, it's a great concept. Hope they work out the kinks or I get up to speed on it.

What a beauty!

DC has won two straight against the Marlins in Miami. Good chance to sweep the series and maybe reverse some bad karma that has been around for a few years with this team.

Extra inning win in Miami for DC over Marlins! Hoping for a series sweep and breaking up the Florida karma over us....

Keep him in! You have some opportunities for your batters to tie and go ahead! Lee had an even better game against us Nationals than Halladay did, and that is saying a lot.

Thanks for posting that story on Werth. It was fun to watch.

DC takes 3 of 4 with the Giants! Strong outing by Gorzelanny, and 6th save for Drew Storen. We have such a poor defense that it makes news when we go 4 straight games without an error.

Good win over the Giants today! Wish we had had the timely hitting yesterday! Bad news about Ryan Zimmerman being out for surgery for at least 6 weeks. Ivan Rodriguez is on some sort of defensive streak right now. It's almost foolish to try stealing bases against him.

Unable to hit Giants pitching today or capitalize on so many walks and hit batters, DC falls to Saint Francisville. Saw Brian Wilson close against the Nationals and strike out our batter for the final out with the bases loaded. Enjoyable outing but disappointing outcome on a gorgeous spring day at the ballpark.

One company has in fact done this so far in the United States: the Edison Company. Edit: I appear to be mistaken about this. Edison did bequeath its recordings to the National Park Service, but it is disputed that this constituted a relinquishing of copyright. http://blog.librarylaw.com/librarylaw/2008/07/the-messy-messy.html So the musicians of the 20s, 30s, and 40s performed and recorded (mostly) with the understanding that they would not even be copyrighted, much less copyrighted for so long, yet somehow it is fair for their recording companies' descendants and heirs to assert monopoly for well nigh 90 years? Because that's what we're talking about. We are not talking about the descendants of side men getting checks for music from so long ago. In some genres, all a musician got was a work for hire fee at the time of recording or payment from his bandleader. And if we in 2011 cannot somehow correct injustices that these musicians faced in the 20s, 30s,and 40s, then NO ONE MAY HEAR the music? That sounds like the deal to me.

Thanks for the update. Looking at the comments section, some don't seem to understand or care what the waste of orphan works does to the culture.

Up 7-2 over St. Louis in the bottom of the sixth. A doubleheader today because of last night's rain out.

I remember the Mom and Dads! They used to play on those syndicated country-western TV shows like Porter Waggonner or Del Reeves in the early 70s.

His remarks in the interview about pretending on Twitter and Facebook, to me, were spot on, i.e., on the spot. He knocked it kisser in, i.e., in the kisser.

3 outs away from a 3-game sweep of the Brewers and an 8-7 record! Great doubleheader for Danny Espinosa. He was already leading all rookies in the NL in runs batted in, had 6 RsBI today!

Week late here. Heard Marcia Ball last Saturday at State Theater in Falls Church, Virginia. She's still got it! Really good boogie woogie piano in the mix. Together with the stuff she's famous for.

It's going to be hard to compete in the division when Lee's game is even better than Halladay's the night before! We might do better against some second-tier teams. Glad to see we're competitive, but the whole team is saying they don't want moral victories, they want real wins!

Enjoying F.P. Santangelo as our new TV color commentator! I know a lot of DC fans miss Dibble, but not me. This guy has a lot more charm and finesse. Haven't caught him contradicting his own commentary simply for the sake of having the last word, the way Dibble often did.

Just lost a pitchers' game to Philadelphia, time 2:06. That time is almost unheard of these days. Cliff Lee was awesome tonight.
