Baseball Has Begun

I organized a very large group last night for some tailgating and baseball over at RFK stadium to watch the Marlins beat up on the Nationals per usual. They beat the Nats 9-2 on Monday and we witnessed the 9-3 embarrassment last night. I mean the first run they Nats got was when Scott Olsen walked a guy with the bases loaded. We however had a blast, ripping on Austin Kearns below us, attempting to start a wave (which was quite successful when you consider how many folks were there) that made it halfway around the stadium. Though some claim it would have been more successful if I wasn't wearing my Oakland A's Rickey Henderson jersey, but hey not my problem if they can't recognize greatness.

We usually sit in the 460s, so we're always above Kearns. We loved sitting above Guillen, but now this jackass is out there. I think I need to go get a sign made that says Kearns Hate Club. I know you're planning on doing more once you have a new stadium and all, but the least you could have done is get some pitching of some fashion that DOESN'T belong in double-a ball. Maybe just ONE bat, just one who could do something then constantly fly out in foul territory. I don't know if Guzman and Logan are hurt, they may just be embarrassed to play for the Nats this season.

Of course my A's are not doing so well to begin the season, having dropped our first two to the Seattle Mariners. I don't worry so much about that, we always have an extended spring break and usually begin playing in mid-May or so. Of course Bobby Crosby has played two straight games, which would be a plus if it not for the fact that the sucka has forgotten how to play the shortstop position, let alone how to make a throw to first base.

In spirit of the baseball season beginning, I give to you some baseball related clips. The first may very well go down as the worst opening pitch in the history of opening days. I'm pretty sure Stephen Hawking could have made a better pitch then the Mayor of Cincinnati. The second is the opinion of Noodle as, "the greatest first pitch ever".
