Bonifacio out to prove he’s part of the solution
- His arrival brought life to a tense and battered clubhouse.
Rookie Balester is beginning to gain confidence
- For Major League Baseball’s youngest team, the evaluations continue, every game an open casting call.

Balester, Nats sweep Reds
- For one weekend, at least, they finally played baseball the way it was meant to be played. A clubhouse that just days earlier boiled with frustration instead featured smiles and laughter and thumping, celebratory music.

Huet, Kolzig slated to make early appearances against Caps next season
- The NHL released a revamped regular-season schedule for the 2008-09 season on Thursday that features plenty of highlights for the Capitals.
United host diminishing Fire
- D.C. United head coach Tom Soehn knew better when it came to the Chicago Fire’s stellar start to the 2008 season. Chicago was sitting pretty with a 6-2-1 record before it suffered a demoralizing 2-1 home loss to United on June 7.
