Nationals vs Mets, Game 1 (Home Opener)

[Mighty Casey]

I believe that many opposing teams could walk the bases loaded with Nats and not incur any run damage....

[bluestreak]

bummer.  If you are flying united, the Chinese restaurant in the food court in the United wing of Terminal 3 is fantastic.

Unfortunately, I will never fly United again.

Gotta supply that Chinese restaurant imref was speaking of.

you beat me to it.

X-Rays negative on Eaton’s ankle. So that’s good news.
I disagree with everyone here. If he’s healthy enough to play, then you need to be sending him in those situations.
If you are that worried about him that you need to have special rules for when to send him, he ought to be sitting, period.

[GburgNatsFan]

Rare event. Beating you to a witty response, I mean.

I'm gonna blame the whole thing on the lack of a flyover.  That upset the delicate balance of the baseball universe. We're supposed to have a flyover on Opening Day, dammit!

I agree.  Our section thinks its because of Trump. We saw the Marine 1 choppers fly by just prior to the start on their way to Andrews.  We think they shut down all air traffic at the time when the fly over was supposed to be.

Yep, they announced before the game that that was the reason.

I say fake news.  There was a flyover. It was just be new, super-quite, super-stealth B-3s.

The most super, newest, stealthiest B-3's.  No one has stealthier B-3's. Everyone is talking about them.
