Just got back not too long ago from the game.  Definitely one of the most entertaining games I have been to all year.  Lots of scoring and some pretty extraordinary plays (Kearns collision, Fick HR, Jimenez HR, Chipper DP).  I still don't know why Manny puts Chad in to close games any more especially against the Braves who own him but whatever.  BTW, the last 3 games I have been to I have worn a green shirt.  The Nationals are 3-0 in those games.  Before when I used to wear either my Nationals jersey or t-shirts the Nats were 3-8.

Watching the film of tonight's game, Chad seemed to be pitching well, but he wasn't getting any calls on the corners or at the knees. He had several pitches that I was shocked were not called strikes. He does have bad history with the Braves. I was kinda hoping that they would get a 3rd run in the 8th and Manny would go in a different direction, but it worked out.
