Gratuitous Baseball Trivia Observation
The next time somebody in a bar bets you that you can't name the first batter to hit a grand-slam homer in Nationals Park (and note to everyone, it's Nationals Park, NOT Nationals Stadium, dammit), you'll be able to say proudly, "Why, Jim, everyone knows it was Felipe Lopez of the Nats on April 24, 2008 against the Mets!" (Suck it, Gary!)
That oughta be worth a ten-spot at least.
Sorry - I seem to have baseball fevah.
Posted by Robert at April 24, 2008 09:34 PM | TrackBackWell, twenty years from now you can sit in a bar and ask "When was the last year that the Nationals had a winning season series against the Mets?" and know that it's a trick question.
Cuz it won't have happened yet. ;-)

Posted by: the gripping hand at April 25, 2008 11:44 AMNope, haven't been yet. But I'm not really sure there is such a place. We just ordered tickets for a game against the Reds in early August. Five tickets, plus food & drink, plus transportation, plus miscellaneous - there's a reason we only go out once or twice per year as a family.
