Gratuitous Nats Posting
I'm guessing that tonight's game up at Noo Yawk is going to get rained out, which is a shame because I was looking forward to watching the Nats kybosh the Mets.
GO, NATS!!
ME AND MY BIG MOUTH UPDATE: I was surprised that the game was played at all and even more surprised that it wasn't called in the 6th when the monsoon started.
Well, there's an "O" in "D'oh!" but none in the Nats. Good pitching, good defense, but crickets at the plate. Story of the season so far.

By the way, who's the genius who postponed the Nats-Pirates game yesterday afternoon because of the "threat of thunderstorms"? Not a drop of rain in the vicinity as best I could tell.
On a semi-related subject... I still think the gubmint missed a golden marketing opportunity with the Mets. After all, shouldn't a stadium named for Citibank have the Treasury logo on the "TARP"?
Posted by: ChrisN at May 18, 2011 07:52 PMYeah, that Bucs cancellation puzzled me mightily, too.
Agree about the Citi angle. And when the rain starts, the announcer go Admiral Ackbar and yell, "It's a tarp!"
