Randy Johnson Wins #300

I know this is non-Yankees related, but congratulations to Randy Johnson for winning his 300th game tonight. The Big Unit wasn't terribly impressive with the Yankees (34-19), but he's had a remarkable career. Not only did he win #300 tonight, but he currently has the fourth-best winning percentage of 300 game winners. He's also the sixth lefthander in history to record 300 wins, becoming the first since Phil Niekro. Despite what people think of his attitude, etc., Randy Johnson is a great pitcher.

However, I was a little disappointed with the crowd in Washington, D.C. tonight. I know it must be tough to be a Nationals fan, but there were only a few thousand fans there? If I could have been at a potentially historic game, I would be there in an instant. Shame on the fans of the Nationals. People in D.C. showed tonight that baseball isn't a huge priority, and no Steven Strasburg is going to fix that. If a 300 game winner can't invigorate that city for some baseball, what can?
