I can’t believe that the 2012 season is coming to the wire and 9/8 was probably my final game. The LA Dodgers are a game back of the Cardinals for the second National League Wild Card. The Nats, on the other hand, have a 5.0 lead on the Braves in the East and need to win 11 games to clinch. But they only need two games to clinch a wild card. Aaron Harang is 9-9 and on the bump for the Dodgers. The 10-8 Jordan  Zimmermann  is looking for no. 11.
