Nationals vs Astros, Game 3

[cmdterps44]

For Debbi Taylor having a twin would've been a negative. For Kristina Akra it's a huge positive. Too bad we can't have both but the Lerners are too freaking cheap for that!   

I don't even know how we'd use two sideline reporters but I want it now.

[spidernat]

holy crap Katherine may be even hotter.

Totally agree but I can't complain. Kristina is a major upgrade and I wouldn't kick her out of bed under most circumstances.

What if she were wearing a Debbi Taylor mask.

I do.

I'm sure Jayson Werth, et al, would find a way to use them.

[cmdterps44]

I do.

good point

Precisely why I said "most" circumstances.

I do.

Just making sure you're the same old spider.

mitlen, the answer to your question is yes. Kristina has a twin sister named Katherine. She works for the Marlins.

Outstanding find, spidernat!


Marlins come to town this Friday April 20.  
In a world where twins battle to be the best, there MUST be
Gatorade bucket battles between the Akra sisters!


Pregame, postgame... or both?

I think I'll have to go with the Kristina is better looking crowd.

Anybody know why the switch? Did Debbie Pull a Dibble? Probably just a typical broadcasting move that benefits a reporter's career

I remember them saying that they were getting rid of the position... Then a few months later they go and sign Kristina. Boo yah.

[...][TV, radio: the usual, I guess. Ask your fellow Yankee types][...]

Telly is regular Angelos Network; radio is only AM-1500/1580 because FM-106.7 is carrying Wizards-Bucks (relax, Wizards season ends a week from tomorrow).

For those going tongiht: Capital Weather Gang's NatCast has 'Yes there's a decent chance of showers. But they aren't guaranteed. And they would likely be too light to cause a long delay or postponement. 50s feel cool so definitely bring the jacket.' - 56-59 at first pitch, 54-57 in ninth inning, 60% chance of precip.

I could really go for a beer and a Nats win right now.

I <3 panoramas.

Not sure why this was changed but if the answer is "yes" then you'll be standing right next to me.   

I did see the original question - I've never been to Nats Park, but when I'm at Minute Maid I'm almost always in the upper deck.

I'll skip the beer barkeep just give me a Curly W win in the books.

How's the weather in DC? I was looking at the weather channel hourly forecast and it was wasn't exactly looking to good.

I like starting Shark in LF.  If we're not getting offense from Nady or DeRosa, we may as well have Bernie's glove there.
