PIDGEON WITH NATITUDE BEHIND 2ND. ON THE EDGE OF THE GRASS

What a nice day at the park.  That pidgeon started out almost beside Jewett and wondered out behind the mound then to the 2B position all during the Nats' 7th inning explosion.   Both the ump and Span tried to chase it away between innings.  Span got it to fly, but it circled back and landed almost in front of him.

I think it's a rally pidgeon.

Three high quality pages though.

It's pretty simple. It's football season. It happens every year on Sundays when Washington plays.

I guess...it's not that hard to multitask between baseball and football games though...

I would wager that being on the outside looking in has a great deal to do with it...

The Redskins are more on the outside than the Nationals.

With apologies to SF...There are still 14 games left!

Redskins are only 1 game out of 1st in the Division...

And we know how that ends.

The Redskins won't be afraid to make changes, Shanny isn't sleeping on the job like Davey did with Espinosa.

At least we have:

Maybe we need to send the Rally Pigeon to FEDEX. 

I never laughed so hard.  THat pigeon would not be denied by anybody!  Even the umpire who stood right next to it with his arms crossed!   Soo funny.    I hope its not sick.  It stuck by LaRoche at one.point.  then it would wander toward 2nd.

So this game deserves a

Many are splitting time. They just aren't bothering with the GDTs.
