Gratuitous Nats Posting (TM) - "TIMMAAHH!!" Division

Nats take the first game off the Mets, 3-2.

Actually, neither team had anything to be ashamed of, so I'm not going to whale on Gary here. It was a tight game with good pitching and solid defense on both sides. The Nats got lucky with a pair of solo homers from Kennedy and Zimm, but the game could easily have gone the other way.

Well, we'll try it again tonight if the rain holds off.

BTW, the Orgle Manor teevee sits in the basement. The Llama-ettes spend their hours of repose two floors above, with their doors closed. Nonetheless, I have been being greeted in the morning lately with more and more commentary about my, er, outbursts while watching games in the evening. I suppose this means I'm becoming a true fan.

GO, NATS!!!

UPDATE: The Tasty Bits (TM) Mail Sack has been filling steadily with questions along the line of, "Tom, what do you mean by 'good pitching and solid defense' with all those runners left stranded on base by both sides?" Or, more succinctly, "Tom, are you a moron?"

Well, I should have said "exciting" instead of "good" and "solid," I suppose, because that's what I really meant. We both dug ourselves into some holes, but both managed to scramble out of them, too.

Next time, I'll drink my coffee first.
