Once again to the ballpark ...

On Wednesday evening, August 24th, I took Daniel, Eli and Micah on the Metro down to the Nationals' ballpark to meet Mark for a 7:05 p.m. game against the Arizona Diamondbacks (lineup below). Prior to the game the boys had a chance to have their picture taken with good-'ole Teddy Roosevelt, one of the four U.S. presidents who compete in a race at each of the home games. Unfortunately, as one can observe from the "scorecard" below, Teddy has never done well in the competition! The Nationals also came up short in a 4-2 loss even though with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, Lance Nix and Jonny Gomes both hit successive home runs -- too little, and too late. - rw L-R: Teddy, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Abe Lincoln (race-leader)

Nice. I like Tom the best. And I like Ryan Zimmerman the best. And I really like Daniel's glasses. Very handsome. next, post some pix of the remodel!
