Randy Johnson just won game no. 300, with a Brian Wilson four-out save. Only the sixth lefty and 24th overall to join the 300 club. Lots of "Randy! Randy!" cheers from the Nationals fans in DC.

Yes, we get quite excited when our teams sets yet another record. Go nats!

And speaking of records...

The Nat's are on course to break the season win record set by the 1962 Mets!

Go Nats!

Methinks this will be the last 300 game winner in my lifetime.

Oh, I don't know. Andy Pettite is almost 40 wins ahead of Johnson's pace at the same age. Admittedly, Johnson had two incredible years in his late 30s (24 and 21 wins) but whereas Johnson averaged 14.5 wins over the last eight years, Pettite only needs to average 10 (and he's done better than that every single year of his career but one so far).

By no means a lock but not necessarily a long shot either.

Unless you're expecting to die relatively soon.

Now how's THAT for spin!

Any time I see Moonie posting in here, I feel very sympathetic. Like he needs a pat on the head or something...

Hey, at least he gets his pick of seats when he wants to see his local minor league team play. (nothing but good things happened last time I made that joke, right?)

I've been meaning to tell you that I STILL laugh thinking about this post.

The Mets only played 160 games that year, so if the Nats hit 120 in the last two games, I say that record gets an asterisk.

I think Moonie is hoping to hit 120 cumulative wins since they moved to DC in 2005. They are currently 16-46 this season.
