“Obama Judges a Judge”: Sunday in The Washington Post, columnist George F. Will — who likewise was at Friday night’s baseball game in Philadelphia between the Atlanta Braves and the Phillies — will have this op-ed.

“How the Fight for Vast New Spying Powers Was Won”: This front page article will appear Sunday in The Washington Post.

Atlanta Braves 7, Philadelphia Phillies 5: Adam Eaton tonight continued his efforts to remain in contention for the notable distinction of worst starting pitcher for the Phillies in the 2007 season. The six runs that Eaton surrendered in three plus innings of work proved insurmountable to the Phillies, although the team came close to clawing back into the game several times. You can access the box score at this link, while wraps from MLB.com are available here and here.

Although the loss drops the Phillies into third place in the National League East standings, a half-game behind the Braves, losses by both the New York Mets and the San Diego Padres mean that the Phillies did not lose any ground to the leaders in the division or wild card races. Sunday’s series finale is the ESPN Sunday night game, meaning that my summary of that game may not appear here until early Monday morning.
