When the Orioles managed to two outs on the Yankees at the top of one inning, I stood up and tried to get the others in my section to stand up too like they do at Yankee Stadium. A guy behind me yelled "Cunningham, sit down!" (I was wearing a personalized jersey.) That guy was probably from Washington, too.Edward J.

It's the morning after, and a cloud is still hanging over me -- and I don't drink. However, a few more games like last night and I just may take up drinking. The stunned silence of the Nats fans in our section last night said it all. On the way home, listening to the post-game show and several replays of Charlie Slowes' call of the fateful final out, I wondered how "The Chief Cardiologist" managed to escape the wrath of the pundits and the callers. It was all about Nook last night. It wasn't Nook who got them into that mess in the first place. Fortunately, we (fans and team) will recover.<BR/>Regarding the nasty couple in 320 last night, those people must have been REALLY important to have behaved that way. Maybe they had tickets to "Phantom of the Opera" and made a wrong turn, ending up at RFK instead of the Kennedy Center. Realizing their mistake, they must have decided to make the best of the situation and mingle with the common folk. Either that or they are simply jerks with absolutely no social skills. In the future, maybe they should stay home and watch the game on TV. The beer and the food are much cheaper, and it's so much QUIETER at home. By staying home, they wouldn't have to endure all that annoying NOISE from people who have the audacity to enthusiastically root for their beloved home team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-27000535320067144892007-06-24T12:03:00.000-04:002007-06-24T12:03:00.000-04:00We'll be up in Pittsburgh for all 3 games next wee...We'll be up in Pittsburgh for all 3 games next weekend, SBF.

He figured that he was fast enough to get to the plate before a throw could go from the catcher to first to complete a double play. Maybe a good strategy with no outs, but with one out 'stupid' is too kind a word to describe it. Some other nook needs to be found for Logan's cranny-um immediately, because he's killing the Nats. Aside from his performance in the Sunday win against the O's, I can't think of a single positive thing he's done for the Nats. Anyone can get lucky once. He's had his once, so now he needs to go!An Briosca Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855174362787324401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-64170729941305734232007-06-24T10:03:00.000-04:002007-06-24T10:03:00.000-04:00Mike Edgar-Yes-Sohna and I are attending both the ...Mike Edgar-Yes-Sohna and I are attending both the Saturday Night game at PNC Park and Sunday's also.

If there is one player that the Nats should have traded last winter while he had some trade value, it was Cordero. Now, it's too late.

My guess is that they are folks who don't go to a lot of games, and don't really know how true fans will cheer on the home team.<BR/><BR/>Are you and the African Queen planning on going up to Pittsburgh next weekend for the series up there? I'm going with my sister and her family. We went last year and had a blast. It's such a beautiful ballpark, and I'm really looking forward to it.

With the large (relatively speaking) crowd attending, it should have been an enjoyable evening for all. By the way...were they Cleveland fans? Or just ignorant Nats-rooting clowns? In general, the Cleveland fans seemed rather congenial, especially compared to the Detroit bores. (Disclaimer: I'm sure 90% of Detroit fans are wonderful, knowledgeable folk. I've just had the unfortunate experience of being near the other 10%. Just like Met fans.)<BR/><BR/>Friends had my tickets tonight, so I wasn't there in person. I suppose the team will rebound as they always do, but how painful was that finish?<BR/><BR/>Will the real Brandon Watson please stand up? Or sit down.<BR/><BR/>Logan should just sit down.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, Chad will be Chad. He'll be brilliant at times. But when he doesn't have control, he'll crash. He just doesn't have the stuff to make mistakes out there.<BR/><BR/>Very tough. All around, for you and Sohna. I can't imagine more devoted fans. In fact, because you're so dedicated and attend virtually all the games, it's unfortunately bound to result in unpleasantness here and there.<BR/><BR/>See you at the next homestand. I just wish they could play as well at home as they do away.Jim Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389688524746052643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-74860549188911017752007-06-24T02:04:00.000-04:002007-06-24T02:04:00.000-04:00The Indians didn't beat us, we beat ourselves.The Indians didn't beat us, we beat ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
