Tales from I can't believe how much longer this day is going to go...

  Stepped away from the press box for a bit. The secretary at my office, Katelyn showed up to the game, so I sat with her for a bit. What a respite from a four-run deficit that is. Looking to drink tonight...that'll be fun.

It's the top of the seventh, still 6-2. Nick Johnson has had a terrible game, which is really too bad. For as long as the Nats have been here, I believe he and Christian Guzman are the only ones to have remained here since the franchise's first season in DC. It's great to see how well they've done this season, regardless of the record.

I think we're going to see some fainters this game, so I'll keep tabs.

Mock at the mound, Werth at third and two outs. Matt Stairs, that ol' ox, is at the plate, pinch-hitting for Brett "Wife-*****" Myers.

It already feels like a long day, and it's three pm with another game to go.
