Wednesday Night fo' Beisbol!

Hey, we got through the first with only two baserunners left on. John Lannan is studly.

I'm sorry that I'm late my friends, but I had to go deliver a credential to a man who's never before existed. The credential said MASN on the bottom, the acronym meaning Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, the channel (along with Nats television rights) that Bud Selig gave to Peter Angelos to let the Expos come to the Capitol.  So, I take the credential to the MASN truck under the stadium, and the place is built like an aircraft carrier. I delivered the Pirates' roster down there earlier, and I could have said that "Matt Shirley" was starting for them, and thus, Rob Dibble would have talked about my control during the broadcast.

So anyway, I take this credential to the truck, my second visit of the day, and I'm high-fiving and all that, when I show the guys the pass and no one has ever heard of this guy. Then, the game starts, and there's a problem with the MASN broadcast! The Nats game is airing to no one, blacked out on two channels.  Maybe the MASN crew killed this man*, but he was the only one who could run the broadcast. I'm just saying there could be something here.

*I fully retract that statement.

LaRoche the second pops to Justin Maxwell, our CF call-up for Elijah. One on, one out.

Jackie Wilson said*, "I'm-a bunt fo' an out!" and he did.

*Click for delicious pun!

Lannan strikes out Paul Maholm. I'm glad the typical just happened here, down in Natstown.
