Think of it this way:  We're the only ones committed enough to stay in and follow the game on a Saturday night when everyone else is out having a life ;) :lol:

Notice that I said "follow" the game rather than "watch" it, since that is the truth in my particular case :P

I'll take it for a few innings but I'll be eating dinner so I won't be posting! :lol:

I'm too old to be running around anymore. I prefer to stay in and watch the Nats with a couple of cold ones (besides, my girlfriend is still in Hawaii :lol:)

Yeah that's a changeup. But his motion is deceptive.

Santana's offspeed stuff seems to have D-Tank fooled.

He's sitting on the changeup hoping to react to a fastball on instinct alone...Good luck Dimitri.

That was close.  Young almost gave us a 2-0 lead.

Kearns' super long swing should be ideal for Santana's changeup. I wonder if he'll throw it to him.
