Yet another jumbling of the line-up.

The previous game's hero was, unfortunately, Freddie Freeman, but from the Nats I will go with Adam Eaton, who went 2-5 with a HR, 2 RBI and 2 runs scored, breaking the team's homerless streak. Honorable mentions to Soto and Turner.

Dave, we missed you yesterday.

Thanks!

Maybe this thread is not the place, and if so mods please remove, but September 11 is one of those days where it is routinely asked "where were you, when...?".

My "where were you": I was on a train in the Meadowlands approaching Hoboken when passengers started pointing to the smoke coming from the World Trade Center. I arrived in my office in Midtown shortly after the second plane hit. After making sure my then-girlfriend was safe, I left the office and joined a number of other military personnel stuck in the city who joined with the NYPD and FDNY in the search and rescue effort, neglecting to mention I was no longer actually in the Army. After several days, and after the search and rescue effort became a search and recovery, I returned to work and so-called "normal" life, although I continued to return to Ground Zero on weekends to help out where I could.

Didn’t we see this start yesterday?

[DCFan]

Eaton should’ve had that.

[nattily attired]

Gotta be the sixth or seventh time this year we've lost an out due to our 5-8 RF.

[GburgNatsFan]

Thank you for your service, and for going above and beyond.

Thanks!

Dont think you'll find too many players willing to throw themselves into a wall to try and catch a line drive.

[Dave in Fairfax]

A bit of a struggle, but at least through the top of first with no damage.

And a thumbs up from and for Adam Eaton!

[DCFan]

Is this live or is it Memorex?

[Slateman]

[GataNats]

Awful call

[DCFan]

I don’t know what Bob is squawking about. That strike 3 to Kieboom was money.

[hohoho]

Thanks!

Inappropriate on so many levels.

We get it. You root for Kieboom to be a bust.

[Slateman]

[GburgNatsFan]

Nice pitch for strike three.

Thank you Dave.  Did you take the PATH into the city that day?

[Slateman]

Nice pitch for strike three.

Like two batters too late

[DCFan]

I hope he’s a hall of famer but this ump has been dead on accurate with his calling tonight.
