Pics from Nats Park (7/18)

[Schwarber Fan]

Hey guys I meant to post these last month but never got to it... here are some pics from the 7/18 game in Washington (Soriano 3 run homer game - Wells had a bad start but got the win)

Fun game overall, almost ended up being a sellout with a clear majority of Cubs fans. Last few innings were tough on the stomach (if you can remember, Heilman, Marmol, and Gregg didn't make it easy)... I was taking a video in the 8th during Soriano's AB and he promptly struck out and Bradley was caught stealing... so I stop taping and of course Fontenot, up next, puts one into the right field seats - oh well.

Some no-name Nats pitcher

 

That goes without saying

It's funny because where we were sitting during that interview, there was a Nats fan sitting a few rows above us and he yells: "Who are these guys? I've never heard of any of them!"

Digging the pics. I assumed they still played at RFK. I'm so out of the loop....

Yeah, noticed that. Soon after, they took the linescore off though so I'm glad I got the shot I did.

I fail to see the fail, the first inning had been bumped off.

There was no top of the 10th to be played, or proceeded onto...
