&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/nationalsjournal/2008/08/no_deal_crow_gone.html"&gt;From Rotoworld and the Washington Post: Nats fail to sign Aaron&amp;nbsp;Crow&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Nationals failed to sign first-round draft pick Aaron Crow before Friday's midnight deadline.
&lt;br /&gt;The two sides were reportedly between $700,000 and $900,000 apart. If Crow's changeup develops, he could be a solid No. 2 in the majors, but for now he'll play with the independent league Fort Worth Cats. The Nationals will get a compensatory pick for their failure to sign Crow.

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vivaelbirdos.com/2008/8/6/588307/anthony-reyes-starts-fri-f"&gt;Anthony Reyes starts FRI. for&amp;nbsp;Cle.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;blockquote class="chat"&gt;
  Can't wait to see a bunch of different things unfold for me and my beliefs of the cardinals staff with this start. Will Reyes be a good starter in the MLB contrary to what Duncan and LaRussa believe? do we get shafted in the trade by not selling high, say after the 2006 World Series when his value could have been at it's highest ever in a Cardinals uniform? Will the Reyes/Duncan philosophy thing pan out to see if Duncan has maybe also ruined some careers as well as revived them? Friday will be an interesting day my friends, that's why this is baseball.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here's the link to the photo album I brought home from the game on 7/31. Our seats were far away and my camera work is shaky on the videos. Other than that, though, it's interesting, especially because of the "wild west night" thing the Braves were doing. Hope you enjoy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I'd never sat that close before, and after sitting in section 451 last night, I'm not sure I can sit anywhere else.  Being that close to the action is cool and my photos are&amp;nbsp;better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
