The Sorry State of Nats Baseball

So the last Nats game I went to was on May 4. That's stunning. Granted, they were on the road for half of that month, and I was away for almost two weeks, but we still actually just skipped a few games. Like both games in the horrid Marlins series. And one right before our big hiking trip, because we just had too much work.

So when we were late getting home this afternoon and had to have snacks instead of dinner, and it was hot, and I'm still in pain from a hiking fall on Friday (details later), and lots of rain in the forecast...Man, I just did NOT want to go to tonight's game.

We opted to take Metro instead of bike, given my...injury, and the weather. And that was a pain in the neck as well.

The rain started in the middle of the reading of the Cardinals' lineup. And it kept raining. Through the abysmal 1st inning. The umpire finally called out the grounds crew a bit after 8, and we headed for the exits. It was just embarrassing. What an awful game to watch. Five of the eight position players who are on the All-Star ballot are on the DL. So are two of our top pitchers. What's even the point?

It's raining again. Everyone's just now hoping they call the game and we can have a redo. But it's already the top of the 5th, so even that is probably going to be a disappointment.

And it bums me out to no end that I'm this down on my boys.
