Nats fans go to http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/polls and "Best of the Best" and vote for Bernadina's catch if it wasn't obvious.

i loved davey's "this is getting boring" quote after the game.

I'd say techincally, Trout's was better.  Bernadina's was bigger because it literally did, in fact, save the game.

trout's was better, as was bernie's catch last year, IMHO.

From Stammen in the bullpen watching Bernie's catch:

"He caught it," Stammen said.  "And I was like, 'Ok, is he dead or alive?'"

the timing of Bernie's can't be taken out of the equation.  Kinda like the difficulty factor in gymnastics.

As might be expected from a team doing as poorly as the Astros, attendance hasn't been too hot - these first two Nats matches are the 9th and 10th consecutive weeknight (Monday-through-Thursday) matches played at Enron to draw less than 20k. They have not drawn over 20k at a weeknight since the finale of the Royals series on Wednesday 20th June (30,687 - capacity is 40,963) and are dead last in the NL in average home attendance (21,612; in the AL, the Rays, A's and Indians draw even fewer).

Cali fans are now awake.  Trout up at 52%
