They said after the rain delay that the DCers all went home, since they love their team and all. Sounded like it was mostly O's fans, too, based on the Luuukes and the cheers and the Let's Go O's stuff going on. I will say one thing: I like getting the Nats instead of the Phillies, Braves, or Mets. And I like that the mascots fight - I remember when we got the Phils and the Phanatic would fight the bird...it was amusing to me. Soo, can Guts get us our Sunday series victory? I feel good about it despite the curse, and then tomorrow I feel even better with our regular lineup against the Royals (even thoguh Burres sounds like he's out...so who pitches?)

For all your <a href="http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2008/06/28/the-dugout-kyle-fursworth/" rel="nofollow">distraction </a> needs. Between this event and the Chacon-Chokeslam, the Dugout is swimming in material. Ugh…I hate rain-outs, and we still need to finish one with the Pale Hos in like August!

I hate listening to Jim Hunter and Don Sutton (shudder). I hate the Battle of the Beltways (plural)...shouldn't it be like the Battle of the Bay Area or some other fruity name. There was one other thing that bothered me last night: DT said Mora wouldn't bunt in that situation because you dont play to tie on the road with your 3 and 4 hitters coming up. I agree in principle, I guess, but I think you bunt to tie with a slumping, old looking Melvin Mora coming up. Obviously he hit it hard, and just was unlucky that it was a GIDP...but Melvin Mora and Kelvin Millar are NOT 3 and 4 hitters. Anyway, we have a real lineup in there tonight, and I feel good about leaving yesterday's bitterness at rest. The whole thing is stupid. I hate listening to Jim Hunter and Don Sutton (shudder).
