So for those of you without access to my G+ page, I must explain. Last night I went to the Nationals-Phillies game. I decided to do a live journal. Below is my experience.
5:41pm- We just got off 270 onto 495. Looks to be about 20 minutes until we get there. I'm super excited and can't wait to get there We've got seats that are pretty much in the stratosphere on the right field side. I'm pretty bummed that we aren't on the Phillies side, but I'm glad that we get to see this great pitching match-up. GPS says we are getting there at 6:11.
7:05pm- Middle of the 1st- We got to our seats just as the game was beginning. Our seats are pretty good. We are pretty much right behind the foul pole. 3 up 3 down for Gio, and Denard Span extends his hit streak to 25 in his first at bat. Hamels walks Zim, not off to a good start.
7:54pm-End of the 3rd-Well the Nationals went up right after I put my pad away. It's been a pretty good game, with enough hits for it not to be boring, but few ruins. Only regular not in either lineup is LaRoche. Ruiz with a long double into the left hand corner. Gio has been sharp, Hamels fair. Nats 1, Phils 0
8:37pm-End of the 5th-Phils had a huge top of the 5th, scoring four off Gio and taking the lead. Started with Mayberry's eleventh homer and you could tell who the Phillies fans were because there were random people on their feet cheering. Galvis with a single just now. It ended with Ruiz's bases clearing double and just like that it was 4-1 Phils. Nats answer was Span getting on leading off and stealing second and third. Nats 1, Phils 4
9:42pm-That was a nail biter. Nationals score three on four Phillies pitchers. Harper with the big double. I was literally shaking! Rosenberg finally gets Ramos for the third out of the inning and the Phils barely escape with their lives. Nats 4, Phils 5
10:26pm-Papelbon gets Ramos to groundout to Rollins to end the game. Phillis win 5-4
So...That's my journal! I had a great time! One other note they played "Take on Me" during the seventh inning stretch :) See even the ballpark misses Michael Morse!
I have lots of pictures that I will post as soon as I get them uploaded!
