Extra Inferno

Got my smoke over the top of the eleventh. No dice for the O's. Watched the bottom half in the lobby on the Press floor with my friends, the Nats security staff. They're amazing men and women, and I'm happy to work with them.

Kip Wells pitching now, one out so far, long fly to Wiggingtonny.

Cesar grounds to short.

Hopefully an "Et Tu" to Danys Baez. How many pitches must this man take out...oh jesus, just two

Gets an infield grounder, unplayable. Basically a perfect bunt, except simply pounded into the turf. Brian Roberts to the plate, one on, two out.

Damnit. GRD by Roberts, landed in left and bounced into the fans there.

Here we go.

Adam Jones with a first pitch hit, double to score two.

The crowd, sadly, is going nuts for the most part.

This is the worst part of these games, because now all the Nats fans leave, so the Nationals batters face an away crowd at home for the whole rest of the game (three outs, surely).

Darnit. Joan Baez kept 'em alive, and Jones put 'em away.

Markakistinaskis flies out to Dunn.

Damage? Also Done.

Next up for the Nats, their first batter, Dunn.

Bah.
