Joel Hanrahan came into the ninth and did gave up three runs.
Anyway...
It's the last of the ninth, Dukes at the plate with two on. Zimmerman is like 0-16. Not cool, however Nick Johnson is around 40 for his last 20. I know that's not possible, but the guy is just a machine. The sun came out of the clouds for the first time tonight-actually first time ever. Just to see...
Dukes fly to center. Two of three from the Yanks alongside two of three from Toronto. Not bad, I guess. Next week, I'm attending all three Sox games as a fan, so I won't much be blogging-well, maybe a story or two. It's been good

Church of Baseball Top 8, 6-2, 1 Out
Hot Barajas at the plate, Kippy Wells at the mound.
So every game they do a "Random Act of Red." If they do it every game, why do they call it "Random?"
Russ Adams, the pinch-hitter just lost his bat about a hundred and twenty feet towards the Rain tarp. Best thing I've seen all day.

Church of Baseball Bot 2, 5-0, 0 Outs
Well, they got five, but we got Wee Willie Harris with a double to move the Attorney General to third-now we just need our next three outs-er-Batters to do it: Josh Bard, Sharion Martis and (getting better) Christ Guzman.
2-1 to Bard
Full to bard...
What?! He comes through! 2-run single, bounced off Aaron Hill's glove
Sharion Martis drops a sac to move Josh over. One out. Nice.
Guz strikes out.
Nick Johnson's walk-out song tonight instead of "My Bobby's goin' Broadway" is "Sexyback." I'm sorry nick, I love you, but you're not responsible for bringing Sexy back. If anything, the song should be OnBaseBack. That's what you bring. Back.
Not this time. Nick grounds to third. Maybe later.

Church of Baseball Top 1, 0-0, 2 Outs
Well, I' back.
Toronto at Washington for the last of the three games.
Wells at second, Rolen at first with two outs. Not much to report. Last night was amazing. Had a long conversation about the merits of Willie Harris earlier. WTOP Sports Guru Craig Heist said he's a great interview at all points.
Adam Lind draws a walk, loading the bases on Martis. Alex Rios at the plate, who's a threat.
Threat comes through with a 2-run double. Lyle Overbait gets a single, scoring two more.
Ugh.
All four runs scored with two outs.
Rod Barajas flies to Dunn.
It's either going to be a battle, or you just read all the scoring for this game. Either way, it's still baseball.

Saturday Night Fevah. Bot. 12th, 3-3, none out.
The Attorney General got on with a single to center, and Willie's up with no outs.
2-1, Scott Richmond the starter pitching.
Swinging strike, 2-2
I guess Tavarez showed some Luis Tiant-action to strike out Polo Scutaro. Nice to hear that from Dave Jaegler, the Nats' broadcaster.
Inside pitch-out, if that's a thing, 3-2 to Wee Willie
Please, Willie, Please?!
Willie with a shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walk-off home run for Willie Harris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man That's the best ever.
I told you everyone loves Willie Harris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great shot. Oh man, I love baseball.
Nationals four in a row!!!!!!!

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.

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.
