We get one short half-inning, followed by one excruciating inning-no runs, but two on, and Jesus Colome got injured or something and split. We had to bring Julian out to make it all better. Fly to center after a few baserunners.
Here's Ryan Zimmerman to lead off the inning. He's 0-4 today. He's due.
Seeing strike, 0-1
Ball, 1-1
Seeing strike, 1-2
Let's do it Ryan.
Way outside, 2-2
Jolome with a quad strain, day-to-day
Seeing Strikeout. He was half-way in the dugout when the Ump(s) called it.
Dunn. Please make your name happen.
Inside, 0-1
It was effing-warning track. We thought he had it, but seeing Joe "Joe" Inglett back up, we knew it was over. Chris and I nearly held each other hoping that was the hit.
Dukes, 1-1
Swinging strike, 1-2
Shot down the third baseline...easy play for Specimen Scott Rolen.
And then there were twelve.

Saturday Night Fevah. Bot. 10th, 3-3, one out.
Kearns dribbles for an out in place of MikeyMac, who pitched so well.
Guzman grounds to first.
First pitch, inside to Nick J, 1-0
Strike outside, 1-1
Dribbles to the pitcher for the third out. That inning was probably seven pitches long.
More people leaving.

Saturday Night Fevah. Bot. 9th, 3-3, none out.
Adam Dunn strides to the plate. There is alot of crowd left in this ballpark, which is great. The lefty is facing Shaun Camp, a righty.
Way outside for 1-0
Outside, 2-0
Strike, 2-1
Foul, 2-2. They're playing weird, surreal country music. No one's standing.
Outside, full count.
Stand!!
Just cheering.
Foul, still 3-2
Way outside for a seeing strike-out. What nonsense.
Dukes at the plate
Foul. Man, he wants this walk-off
Swinging strike, 0-2
Swinging Strikeout. Ugh.
2 outs. The Attorney General sets up at the plate.
Single off the first pitch!
Willie!!!!!!!!!!! Wee Willie Harris comes to the plate. C'mon Sir!
Outside, Ball 1. That was closer to the plate than the pitch Dunn struck out on.
Ball. 2-0
Ball. 3-0
Brett Schweinberg calls. Sorry buddy, gotta call back.
C'mon!
Highest, deceptive foul. He's got the power.
3-1
Walk! Two on for Wil Nieves. Not even a home run he needs.
Wil's a lefty, the matchup is here
Seeing strike. 0-1
Inside but somehow also a strike, 0-2. I think the Umps get paid by the hour.
Back to the mound for the third out.
Someone just screamed, really, really loudly.
The Nats are 1-8 in extra innings. That's my least favorite product of a stat ever.
Alot of folks leaving, but there's alot more who are sticking. That's nice.
See you in extra.

Saturday Night Fevah. Bot. 8th, 3-3, two out.
Kip Wells got the hook for Joel Hanrahan, who, with his second pitch gave up the lead by Specimen Scott Rolen's single to score Polo Scutaro-not cool.
Went to grab a smoke; the Nats radio broadcast played "Stay With Me" by the Faces going into the commercial. Yep.
Zimmerman just flew out to center to end the bottom of the eighth with a man on third. We could see a little Adam Dunn walk-off action. That would be nice, but that also means MikeyMac has to shut down the Jays for the eighth.

Saturday Night Fevah. Top 8th, 3-1 Nats, none out.
Detwiler gives up a walk to the pinch hitter, Jose Bautista (are there like fifteen "Jose Bautista"'s or one guy who's on every team ever?), then gets a massive Standing-O on his way out. Seven innings, one run, six hits, four strikeouts? Something like that.
Sac bunt from Polo Scutaro moves the Bautista over, one out.
Ball to Scott Rolen. Watched him in BP. He's awesome. He's a baseball specimen.
Who singles to left to get an RBI, advances to second on throw home.
C'mon Kip, don't let us down.

Wow, the Nats Doin' Work.
The Attorney General leads off with a single, and now Willie Harris at the plate. I actually hear a "Let's Go Willie" chant. I would like to also take this time to profess my love for Willie Harris. He's the Robert Horry of baseball-Willie has at least one ring, but he's a traveler-a utility man with a backpack who just excels at being that guy, go-to for every position and everyone loves him.
2-2 to Willie.
Anyway, I have to say there's a massive crowd here tonight. It's inspiring to see people in every section of your ballpark, no question.
Willie GIDPs. Wrong time to profess my love-no matter, I still love him.
Nieves grounds to second. Inning over. No Matter!
Oh, question I made to Brad earlier: when people are staring-gazing into the scoreboard, then suddenly they're on it, it always takes at least two or three seconds for these people to recognize themselves. At least two or three seconds! Why is this?! I have my own answer.

Saturday Night Fevah. Bot. 5th, 1-0 Nats, two out.
Wil Nieves with a Sac Fly!
Wee Willie Harris made a terrific catch at center in the top of the inning, then took second with a double in the bottom-stole third and Nieves brought him home.
Detwiler strikes out to end the inning, but no mattah, we're doing it.
Nats Tee-shirt Toss. People are dying.
From the pregame: I went to the bathroom to, you know, do some shopping, and they're airing the pregame foils of Clint, the face of "NatsPack..."
Vernon Wells with a home run. Damnit.
Anyway, back to Clint. His series of questions to give something away were all math-bent, I heard the last two:
"If you square pi, who's jersey number does that come closest to without going over?"
"If [player 1] is driving from DC to Baltimore at 60 mph, and [player 2] is driving from Baltimore to DC at 70 mph, what number jersey does Elijah Dukes wear."
I didn't even bother going shopping. I just ran-ran like the wind.
But hey, here's something: Guzman doubles, Johnson doubles, sets the franchise consecutive times on base per plate appearance, Zimm and Dunn do nothing, and then Elijah Dukes doubles Johnson home and gets thrown out trying to stretch the triple to end the inning. Whatev. He did his job and we're winning, 3-1 now.
Yahtzee.

Johnson just got a hit, setting a Expos/Nats record with reaching base in 9 consecutive plate appearances. This was celebrated to the fans by playing "Umbrella" when Zimmerman got to the plate. Poor, balding Johnson. Everybody loves you.
Nats do nothing to move him home except Dukes making him the force-out to end the inning.

What?! The Umps are on the field!!!!! They're umping the President's race?! George, Tom, Tom, George, Tom wins!!!!!!
Teddy looks deflated. That man created Yellowstone Park, and yet he can't win a footrace against an aged general with wooden teeth, the most raging libido to ever serve (so to speak) as president and a president who, admittedly, is probably a little aerodynamic with that big hole...nevermind.
Sic Semper Tyrannis!
