Late Night Loss Leaves Beltway Bummed, Watch Team Go Up Against Reds Ace In Day Game Today


.
For many of those who live inside the beltway, yesterday's game ended too late into the night, with the wrong team winning, and feeling a bit hungover by the way the Nationals lost.

17 runners left on base. Too many 4-6-3 double plays to count. Opportunity. Opportunity. Opportunity. For Republican fans, it was a double whammy. Their party lost the opportunity to once and for all stop what they saw as judicial ping pong by the Democrats AND the Nationals lost to a bunch of guys who were the political equivalent of the city council of Chubbuck Idaho. No no. Things like this just aren't supposed to happen.

So what happens today? After being shut down by pitchers who should be playing in AAA, the Nationals throw perhaps their worst starting pitcher, Claudio Vargas, against the Reds ace, Aaron Harang, who is 3-2 with an ERA of 3.32. Based on the rest of the series, this should be the game where the Nats thump the Reds. Just ask Josh Towers.

I've given up trying to predict the Nationals games anymore. I'll just watch and enjoy.
