The first sign of fan blood I've seen since I took off my shirt during the Tigers' rout of the RFK-housed Nats in '07, the Nationals fans
actually stood up and cheered for John Lannan after the pitcher took a ten-pitch at-bat, knocking souvenir after souvenir into the stands, deflating the value of a foul ball to near zero. The audience that was without (foul) balls was so moved by the inflation of round, white currency that they found no other option than to rise and cheer.
Whatever gets their attention to the field, I'm just fine with.
How does the team reward the fan's attentions (even if lured only by economics)? And-Her (greatest baseball nickname since Ugly Don Mossi) knocks in the Attorney General to put the Nats a run ahead of the best team in baseball. Hello-hello.
