Friday Night Baseball Inferno.

I don't know why I named the thread that.

Roberts flies to Dunn for the first out. Let's do it, Jordan Zimmermann.

Nationals hosting the Baltimore Orioles for the "Beltway Series." I have to say, I always thought interleague was a joke, but the region rivalries are pretty fun. I don't like the name "Beltway Series" though. In fact, I hate it, and I don't like the idea that we're defined by the beltway alone. I mean, it connects us and all, but couldn't it be something, anything else? How about the "Homocide Series*?"

Zimmermann perfect through the inning.

Even that's bad though, mainly because you need rhymes, alliteration, or to a lesser degree, assonance or consonance. "Subway Series" is obviously the most interesting interleague series, but it also has the best name.

Maybe, considering both teams' standings, ours should be the Dreary Series.

Nah.

Ah, I have it! The Security Series!

Score.

Two outs, no one on, Zimmerman up.

*Terrible, but sometimes you gotta reach for the humor.
