Night at Nats Park Part Two

I figured my pictorial diary of the Nats walk off victory over the Cards needed its own post. I know, who gives a rats ass about my personal life? I barely do and some of my pictures are amusing, at least to me anyway

This is my second Nats bobble head this season as Dimitri Young was my first. Typically, both were injured on their bobble head giveaway night.






I love this shot of Jason Larue leaving the bully before the game.


The Nats own little green monster is in dead center. The seats are standing room only and it was packed on a gorgeous Thursday evening.


Starting Cards picture warming up before he took the mound and got lit up like Thurgood Jenkins in Half Baked.


I caught the Cards coach doing a nasal blaster to wake him up for the nightcap of the doubleheader.


The Nats management cruel joke of having Teddy never win one of these lame presidents race continues on. Now, they have him winning the whole time and some unknown creature comes out to tackle him so another President can win.


Sidearm reliever getting ready in the Cards pen. The girl in white had an amazing body and a great pooper.


I always feel bad for the non beer vendors. Tips must suck because families are bigger cheap asses than the drunks.


The Nats pitchers suck so bad that they allowed the Cardinals pitchers to drive in 5 runs in the game. Here is the video of a woman who caught the home run one section over and the Cards pen was trying to get the ball back because it was the pitcher's first home run ever.


She exchanged her ball for one with some scrub relievers autographs. I would have demanded a night out with Pujols at DC's Latin nightspot, Cafe Citron.


An Asian Willie McGee was trying to broker the deal.


This guy looked in the mirror and said, "Im breaking out the Aikman jersey for the Nats/Cards game tonight." Wearing an Aikman jersey in Southeast DC is not a wise decision and he must have the same brain injuries as Troy.



Ryno prolly hit it.


The Red Loft is a sick, sick bar. I just wished they kept serving past the 7th inning.


Check out my post about Ladies Night at Epic Carnival and these next 2 pictures will make sense. I guess Gabby had flight trouble.



The Nats annoying in game MC, Clint. I can not express how much I loathe this Ryan Seacrest/Justin Timberlake wannabee. The best part is that every game I hear random fans rip him and the commenters on the Nats blogs are even more vicious than me.


Tshirt toss is a sure fire way to get lazy fans out of their seat. Nothing says Americans are trained Lemmings like free Ts.


I am sure she spray tans Clint while he pre game gels up his hair. I was going to add cheap sexual innuendo but I am feeling chipper on a Friday.

Nats Night Part 1

Night at the Nats Park

Midway during last night's Cards/Nats game, I texted some buddies the following quip about Nats RF Elijah Dukes, who was peppering line drives in each of his first 3 at bats: "Dukes is hitting ropes, at least its not women."

Who knew I was foreshadowing the Walk Off Ending? Killer.


Video of Dukes Monster Walk Off Bash

(MLB and ESPN both lick monkey balls for not embedding video. Another horrible policy decision made by people who do not understand how the Internet and sports blog world works.)

I had left the game much earlier and missed the bomb. It is the price you pay when you take a female to a game, who is focused on getting up for work the next day. I wanted to watch the WWE, I mean, NBA finals last night anyway. I swear Kobe and Pierce conspired with Vince McMahon to create the drama.

Kobe kept shooting horrible contested fade aways and Pierce was carried off the court, only to return 5 minutes later. Of course Pierce is "miraculously" healthy enough to hit 2 big three balls in the 4th.

I have not seen the coverage yet but I am sure Willis Reed references are littered all over the predictable pages of sports scribes.

I was able to watch Dukes Walk Off Live from my couch and I will recap my night at the park with pictures in a little bit. Maybe I will talk about the NBA game too. I think the Lakers win out from here.

Part 2 of my night at the ballpark in pictures.

New Nats Stadium

I am about to hit up regular season game 2 of the new Washington Nationals park with my partial season tickets which are located 4th row from the wall in dead left.

Nats host the Marlins and I am pumped to see a DC baseball game in an actual real stadium. Temps are expected in the 40s so my tab at the bar beyond center field called the Red Loft is already running. Im out! GO Nats and KU!

BOOOOOOOOOOO!

My man Dan Froomkin sums up the boos GW Bush received after throwing out the ceremonial first pitch to open National's park.

Seventy percent of the country thinks he sucks at his job. What did people expect? I agree with Deadspin's Will Leitch that Bush is actually alright to listen to when he is talking about baseball and seems to thoroughly enjoy the discussion more so than coming up with other words to describe the economy without using the dreaded "recession" label.

I have been arguing for years that Bush knows more about the Ranger's bullpen than small stuff like the difference between a Sunni and Shia.

I understand the need for hobbies to blow off some steam but I do not think people elected Bush for his astute dedication to breaking down WHIP stats.

Here is Froomkin

There's a reason President Bush almost never appears before members of the general public: They really don't like him.

Despite the delirious mood of Washington Nationals fans on opening night at their new stadium, Bush was greeted with loud boos when he came to the mound to deliver the traditional first pitch.

Video from the Washington Times indicates that the boos were lusty. An ESPN video, via ThinkProgress.org, is more of a mixed bag of boos and cheers. But in additional Youtube videos from fans in right field and high above first base the boos had it.

It was a rare moment for Bush, who avoids public expressions of disagreement by appearing almost exclusively before carefully selected audiences. In fact, this is the first time in years I can recall him appearing before the unscreened masses. Far more typical are events like his most recent Thanksgiving address. As I wrote then, even when he was talking about something as uncontroversial as the essential goodness of our country, he wanted his audience prescreened for obsequiousness.

Back during Bush's Social Security barnstorming, University of Texas political scientist Jeffrey K. Tulis noted: "Certainly, in the past, presidential advance teams have on occasion taken steps to assure friendly audiences. It has not been uncommon for presidents to seek invitations to speak at friendly venues. But systematically screening audiences. . . . may be a new phenomenon, and one that the president should be asked to defend and justify in terms of his constitutional obligations."

Truly, it's one of the most blatant, indefensible examples of how Bush has turned his into the most divisive of presidencies.
