Greetings Sports Fans--DC Homer here (...yawn!) Sorry about that--quality "sports" has pretty much been on vacation here in the DC area--you know, the "sports town" of the Mid-Atlantic area.

Anyway, a couple of my friends hung out with me this weekend and in between several dozen beers (60-minute IPAs) and the volume of single-malt Scotch (Mccallan 18) known only to God, we managed to take in the "sweep" game of the Nationals-Dodgers series (Dodgers won 9-2). To say it was hot out there is an understatement, so we decided to hang out in the air conditioned bar and after 8 beers and 6 Scotches, we finally made it to our seats (3rd base line, row "C") in the 6th inning, just before it started to rain.

Talk about sitting on your hands--the fans were as limp and lackluster as the team in red on the field (any surprise that the Nats fired their batting coach today?). I guess this is the price of success--egos and pressure. The Nats just ain't got it this year and it looks like we're back to our pre-Cinderella (2011) .500 form. (...yawn!)
Oh, and since I don't want to violate the BoSox Tavern rules, I have to let you know I was also at the July 3rd snooze fest against the Brew Crew (a 4-1 loss). I guess the highlight of that game was my boisterous butt chanting Ross Detwiler's name to every between pitch chant ditty: "Let's Go Det-wiler!" "R-O-S-S DET-WILER!" He was my player of the day, much to the chagrin of the fans sitting within 5 rows and 20 seats around me!
(Sorry for all the pics, I just bought a new iPod...and besides, I had to do something to spice up the pretty sucky blog story!) :-)

It could be much worse. Ever been to a Padres game?
Love the wit, my friend, and the loyalty. I don't recognize your crew. Nice pics. Don't hesitate to post them, we're easily amused.
Is the 18yo Macallan sweet like the 12yo? (which I like as a change)
You are at a ballpark. Don't be ashamed at yelling and chanting. You should have done it for every player.
