weather.com calling for 57 degrees, cloudy, wind from the WNW at 18 per, no rain - and staying pretty much that way through match time.

Game 16: Cardinals at Nats

The final game of this series features the best pitching matchup of the three: Max Scherzer vs. Michael Wacha. Scherzer, the St. Louis native, has been outstanding so far in his D.C. tenure, with an NL-leading 0.83 ERA in his first three starts. Wacha, meanwhile, has a 1.35 ERA so far and came within one out of no-hitting the Nats back in Sept. 2013.

Couple of changes to Matt Williams’ lineup, with both Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos getting the day off. So it’ll be Clint Robinson in left field batting fifth, with Jose Lobaton behind the plate batting eighth.

It’s a chilly, windy afternoon here on South Capitol Street, so if you’re coming out to the park, be sure to bring layers!

I loved being able to listen to Charlie and Dave while I was running the other night but man I miss being able to watch while I'm at work

Minty Fresh · « **Reply #11:** April 23, 2015, 03:52:03 PM »

Charlie and Dave on right now while at work . . .

Will be driving home for a portion of the game.

Hey FP,

Give a shout out to kimnat who's at the game today. I know you've read about her adventure in other WNFF threads.

Thanks,

I love 4 o'clock games. I'm sure the players hate the shadows, but c'est la guerre.

No shadows today ...

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city

I used to have hair like that. Actually, closer to Lindsey Buckingham on Rumours.

Man, you have shadows in the city. Must be nice ...

Ali the Baseball Cat · « **Reply #19:** April 23, 2015, 04:06:38 PM »

Anyone remember that game against the fish where Mike O'Connor had a dinger hit right off of his first pitch?

Minty Fresh · « **Reply #20:** April 23, 2015, 04:07:11 PM »

Great start...

I'd come down the line from 3rd and make Zimmerman throw me out at home.
