I'm going to six of them. So far the Nats have not disappointed. They've won both games.
Yesterday was a crushing defeat of the Phillies 11-2. This from the Post:
Jordan Zimmermann overpowered the Phillies with seven strong innings to notch his National League-leading 18th win, allowing only two runs on seven hits and striking out seven. The Nationals matched a season high by pounding out 18 hits. Every starter notched a hit. Even Zimmermann delivered an RBI single in a three-run fourth inning.
And again near us was an obnoxious Phillies fan. Is it something in the water? However the people seating in front of this guys and the guys he came with would not take it sitting down. They got in the guy's face in a good nature way. But he piped up again at the end of the game.
Then there was the pigeon distraction. A pigeon decided the latter part of the game was a good time to do some series food looking. Around the pictures mound and then between first and second base:
A pigeon flying around the field that momentarily distracted Span and first plate umpire Jim Wolf in the eighth inning may have been the only thing to slow the Nationals.
The pigeon was more walking around the field then anything else.
Again a wonderful day for baseball and a wonderful results. The Nats are 4 1/2 games out of the second wild card. It is possible they can make it in. They just have to continue to play the way they have been playing because next up is the Braves. Taking 2 of the 3 games would be fantastic and I'll be seeing two of them.
Tonight I'm resting on the bench.
Go NATS!!
