Mike Everett is the plate umpire for this one.

Temperature 92 at first pitch.

KC sporting the UN peacekeeper look

Nats go one-ttwo-three in the first.

That was quick

Why no red jerseys?

Slowes: 'Not the way Dan Haren wanted to start his day' - I would tend to agree, given that the Royals' home ground is just about the toughest home-run touch in the majors.

Free game of the day

Crap. Looks like bad Haren today.

Looks like the earth/alien planet exchange experiment is over and they returned Haren to his rightful place.

What in the silly hell is that? First to home on a single?

Ali the Baseball Cat · « **Reply #11:** August 25, 2013, 02:23:22 PM »

That was just goofy

Crap. Looks like bad Haren today.

A homer, a walk, a bad-hop single (at least that's what Slowes said initially), Bonifacio scores from first...very unpromising start.

We'll take it!

Lots of red in the stands...probably mostly StL

Gopher ball number 2 of the day.

Old Haren is back

Well that sucked.

And what an eyesore of a ballpark. Blargh. Nice view of the interstate and Trak Auto if that's what one is into I guess.

Friday night part 2?

Optics · « **Reply #23:** August 25, 2013, 02:30:05 PM »

Aaaaand there's the Dan Haren we all know and love(or not).

At least we got 2/3.

Behind 4-nil after just the first inning...the Nats don't have another big comeback in them do they?
