Gratuitous Nats Posting (TM) - Inside Slider Division

Well, perhaps my watching the Nats play is not such a curse after all, because I sat all through last night's very exciting 5-3 win over the Brewers. UPDATE: Actually, I missed both Dunn's ejection and Willy Harris getting caught in a run-down. How odd and refreshing that the bad things happen when I'm not watching.

This time last year, I'm not sure if we'd won more than a single game yet. This year? We're playing .500 ball. How about that? If we finished up with an 81-81 record, I think I'd be perfectly satisfied. UPDATE: Make that better than .500, as we took another one off the Brewers this afternoon, 8-0. No, I wasn't watching that one, instead assisting the eldest Llama-ette's softball team's cruise to another victory.

One thing about last night's MASN broadcast that made me chuckle: Some time in the later innings when Bob Carpenter and "Angry" Rob Dibble were bantering about something or other, Dibble made a passing reference to having "stuffed" the President.

Don't know what I'm talking about? Let's go to the video tape:

Heh. At the time I remarked from my experience of listening to Bob and Rob that I could sense the growing disbelief between them as The One ducked and dodged. Dibble's remark last evening suggests he cherished the moment, too.

GO, NATS!!!
