Happy Mother's Day to my mom and Screech's mom
Did the Nats make up for the 11-0 Mother's Day debacle of '08? Maybe.
Sunday afternoon was a sunny but chilly time at the ballpark, with our Nats playing the Marlins. We sat in a section of the stadium new to us, the 200-level, and saw more fouls near us than we'd ever seen before. None hit my mom, so that made it a successful Mother's Day. When the swirling breeze got too frigid, we ducked into the cushy lounge. When the game held close at the end, we and everyone in the park got loud.
Livan Hernandez pitched well for us, and I was glad to capture his gut.
Two surprises. 1: Screech surprised his mother. 2: He has a mother!
She appeared to be early Screech in make-up, a wig and a dress.
Teddy led early in the President's Race, and I raced for my camera.
He was passed rounding right field and finished last. Scattered boos.
But he didn't screw up the day. Also, Mama Screech had a handbag.
Me and my brother, the Unabomber. Like I said, it was cold.
Happy Mother's Day! She told me it was cold. I should've listened!
The Marlins tied the game in the eighth, but Josh Willingham hit a solo shot in the bottom of the inning for a 3-2 lead, which held for the win.
