Washington Nationals at RFK Stadium

The Nationals starter John Patterson actually didn't do too bad. Made a couple mistakes - a home run to Barry Bonds in the first, a bit of stuggling here in the fifth, then giving up a double and a homer to the Giants pitcher Brad Hennessey. This is where it all started.

It was great to see Patterson challenging the big guy. Even after Barry took him for a ride in the first. Patterson struck him out two innings earlier. Here's strike two of this at bat.

Strike three! Caught him looking. Actually made Bonds look pretty bad on this pitch. Unfortunately, I timed just a bit too soon. I think it would have been great to have gotten the ump in the act of calling the strike...

I should probably point out how I was suddenly closer to the action. Well, my friend and I decided to move up after the fourth. It wasn't a packed house, so we figured we might just get away with it. Here's the nice gentleman who didn't mind us sitting down next to him and his family. Gave us some tips on where to catch some music downtown as well.
