And a reminder: Our brand-new baseball show, "The Mid-Atlantic Sports Report," debuts this afternoon following the Nationals-Braves game, and will be on from 5:00-6:30 every Monday-Friday. It'll feature MASN mainstays Tom Davis, Dave Johnson and Phil Wood, as well as Mel Antonen, our newest addition. Mel is a veteran baseball scribe from USA Today and Sports Illustrated, and you can still hear him on Sirius XM radio. He'll be on the show every day, and write a few times a week for MASNSports.com, and we're very excited to have him.
We'll have plenty more throughout the day.
