We are Craig Stammen fans in my family. He went to University of Dayton, the same school as my mom. We couldn’t miss the game last night to cheer on Craig and maybe a win. And we weren’t disappointed. He pitched a great game into the 7th inning and the bullpen didn’t blow it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I don’t dislike the Pirates at all, in fact I love Nyjer Morgan’s old school stirrup socks.  They remind me of Robert Fick. And Nate McLouth is on my fantasy team. But I didn’t want the series to go the way it did. I was hoping the Nats could as least split the series and my favorite Nationals holiday, Austin Kearns’ Birthday, gave me some hope for this series. Unfortunately, May 20th was not a win, so it was left to the pitcher from UD to salvage the series and prevent the sweep.

I really enjoyed the win. I can say that the Nationals are winners today. Winners. It feels good. I also got to leave the comforts of right field and sit with some friends by the Pirates bullpen; don’t worry we were all rooting for the Nats.

Also, Robert Fick’s new team has its opening day on the 25th versus the Chico Outlaws. I am pretty excited to see him play again.
