It's Bowden's Law, I guess. See, I am still fuming about Friday night's ticket fiasco. We didn't make it into the park until the bottom of the fourth inning because the lines for tickets did not move thanks to a slow computer system and absolute morons running that system. Sure, we arrived at the park a bit late, soon after the first pitch was thrown, but missing most of four innings because you can't get a ticket? It was outrageous. It's like the Nationals front office wants to have no fans. The guy in front of me said he would not be returning to RFK this season because of it. We missed half the game, yet we still had to pay full price for the tix. I guarantee that the front office will be getting a nasty letter from me demanding something in return for putting up with the idiocy.
Seeing the field did a lot to diffuse the anger, however, and so did that sweet sound of a Patterson pitch hitting Schneider's mitt. He didn't pitch all that well, but it was nice to see him out there all the same.
The lineup for tomorrow:
1. Brandon Watson, CF
2. Jose Vidro, 2B
3. Nick Johnson, 1B
4. Jose Guillen, RF
5. Alfonso Soriano, LF
6. Ryan Zimmerman, 3B
7. Royce Clayton, SS
8. Brian Schneider, C
9. Livan Hernandez, P
It looks good pretty good on paper (or computer screen.) The reality, on the other hand, is quite different.
