06-25-09 Nats 9 Red Sox 3

June 26, 2009

[ Photoset ] Rookie vs. All Star. Classic moment! The All Star? John Smoltz. But on this night, the all star performance comes from… Jordan Zimmermann! 7 innings of 1 run ball. And that Big Papi guy? Struck him out!

Ok, had to be done. I am *so* glad the Nationals won at least one game out of that Boston invasion series, and even more thrilled it was on the night I was there and set a ballpark attendance record for the third night in a row. Sadly, work and traffic caused me to miss the first two innings in person, but I heard on the radio. Hopefully Nick’s okay. What really tickled me driving home from last night’s win in my red Jeep with the Nationals tire cover and passing a dark blue Jeep with a Red Sox tire cover… on I-66 westbound. They were probably going home to Fair-fax (not that there’s anything wrong with that!).

Now on to Baltimore for the never-ending interleague play. Seriously, doesn’t it seem like we’ve been playing the AL forever at this point? To kick off the battle of the beltways, it’s baseball on the barn tonight! Or in the basement. Weather depending!
