I would think this was gamesmanship from the Nats if I thought anyone would be healthy on Saturday who isn't now, but if this game doesn't get in, it will just be made up as part of a doubleheader anyway.

Agreed.

Too bad we can't get Whitey's Broasted chicken anymore and piss in DC Fan's yard on the stagger back to the car.

Whitey's is gone?
Used to look forward to gigs there cuz they'd set us up with the yummy chicken.
They had the racist sign in the lot, "Parking for Whitey's only."

I don't know if anyone is a Bojangles fan but they're supposed to start expanding in the Metro area. There's one in Union Station and maybe one somewhere in Maryland now.

Yes. Love their biscuits.

Oh yeah. I've been through Clarendon/Courthouse, etc. recently and it's all coffee shops and such. Niece moved to S. Arlington and I didn't recognize the interchange at Columbia Pike and Washington BLVD. It was bad enough when she lived on S. Walter Reed and the Pike ....

No more old man bars where you can drink High Life and watch the Laurel races on TV before lunch.

You played gigs there?

There was a duo named "two guys" that played there almost weekly for some years, I became friends with one of the guys many years later when we met at work.

Could've had an official game in by now if they had started on time.

Sorry, guys... just checking in. Is this thing gonna happen or nah?

Also.... I'm coming up to DC for a few games this year. If you are at the ball park on the 15th or 16th of Sep. let's go grab a drink and do something stupid.
