I was there for the loss on Friady too but all became right in the world when the Nats took the next two games. I can't wait until we take 2 of 3 at Camden Yards!!

I'm going to Camden Yards, too. I just hope I don't fall asleep like I almost did on Friday. lol
Baseball is just as boring in person as it is on TV. It makes me appreciate the Redskins a lot more.

You just have to get into the strategy of it. I dig watching baseball - it's much different than many other sports. Don't get me wrong, I love the rah rah type sports like football but it's a nice change of pace for me.
Jake, if you want some good fan action in the offseason, you should go to a DC United game and sit near the Barra Brava (the fan club). Now that's good stuff - DCU fans know how to have a good time and get into a game.

Hog Heaven wrote:Jake, You should have gone to tonight's game against the Dodgers. Plenty of hits, lots of action, although I suspect you aren't much of a small ball fan. Still not as exciting as a football game, or even close, but it was pretty sweet. And fios is right, it is tough to be a sports writer and not cover baseball.

Hill, Bullpen Combine to Shut Out Phillies
Nationals 6, Phillies 0
Associated Press
Sunday, June 11, 2006; E1
WASHINGTON -- Shawn Hill allowed two hits in seven innings, Jose Guillen had a two-run double and the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 Sunday.
Hill (1-1) walked three and struck out four in winning for the first time since July 4, 2004, with Montreal, his only previous major league victory. The right-hander didn't pitch in 2005 after undergoing ulnar collateral ligament replacement surgery in September 2004.
The only Phillies hitter to have success against Hill was Ryan Howard, who singled to left in the second and doubled to right in the fourth. Howard went to third when Hill threw one-out wild pitch to the backstop in the fourth, but was stranded.
Guillen, activated off the 15-day disabled list the previous day, went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBIs on Sunday in his first start since May 25.
Bill Bray pitched the eighth and Saul Rivera worked the ninth to complete the combined three-hitter for Washington's second shutout of the year, and the first this season against Philadelphia. The Phillies finished an 11-game road trip 6-5.
The Nationals, winners of nine of 11, scored all four runs off Cole Hamels (1-1) with two outs. He allowed six hits in five innings, walked two and struck out a season-high eight.
Washington went up 3-0 in the second. With two outs, Alfonso Soriano walked and stole second, Royce Clayton walked and both scored on Guillen's double down the left-field line.
Nick Johnson followed with an RBI double that left fielder Pat Burrell broke in for and couldn't recover before the catchable ball sailed over his head.
The Nationals struck again with two down in the fourth. Brendan Harris led off with a double and moved to third on Robert Fick's single. After Hamels struck out two hitters, Soriano lined a run-scoring single to left.
Robert Fick and pinch-hitter Daryle Ward hit solo homers off reliever Clay Condrey in the eighth.
Notes: The Phillies went 10-10 in a stretch of 20 games in 20 days. ... Howard has reached base safely in 53 of 62 games. ... Before singling in the fourth, Soriano was on an 0-for-10 skid. ... Philadelphia's Bobby Abreu extended his hitting streak to 11 games with an eighth-inning single. ... Ward hit his third pinch home run of the season, and eighth of his career.

"Dreaded" ? Not anymore. We're spread out too thin. In fact, Jake and I were talkin' about this the other day. The Yanks are his favorite team, you know. Anyway, we were....(ducks as debris whistles over head)
