MYSTERIES SOLVED, SECRETS REVEALED...
Washington Times' writer Bob Cohn covered the Natosphere's bloggers covering the Nationals yesterday when the Nationals themselves were kind enough to invite a selection of writers behind the scenes before Sunday's game with the same Brewers they play tonight. The story, linked below was printed in the Washington Times this morning:
• Bloggers get suite access at the ballpark - Washington Times - Bob Cohn
"The bloggers got to interview Washington Nationals interim manager Jim Riggleman and some of the players and general manager Mike Rizzo and team president Stan Kasten and other team officials. The bloggers got to watch the Nationals beat the Milwaukee Brewers in their own bloggers suite - 'the first of its kind,' Kasten proudly proclaimed - and, of course, they will blog about all of it."

Racing Sausages
Did any of the games in this series feature the Brewer raing Sausages against the Presidents? I wonder what the gag would be with Teddy…
The first three game had cheesy ersatz sausages, not the real ones.
Apparently the Brewers aren’t willing to pony up air fare for the mascots (I guess the Pirates only had to buy a train/bus ticket for the pierogies). I think the gag was mostly Teddy tackling them (I still giggle when I remember him chasing the racing pierogies around with a big fork!).
"If somebody hasn't seen me, I try to leave a good impression on their mind, so they come back to enjoy this beautiful game of baseball." --Tony Plush
I loved
That one race where the Pierogi just leveled Teddy. It was like a blind side hit in a football game.
I think the Pierogi went a little too hard with that hit...

AWESOME-O at your service!
Are there any other racing foods around the league besides the snausages and perogis?
I saw
some video once where there was a paint brush and hammer and stuff like that…I think it was in Atlanta.

I don’t understand why they keep the cameras on people for so long. It’s really awkward after ten seconds or so.
5 should be the limit.
When mothers are showcasing their kids and lose interest for 15 seconds…well it’s just sad.
You should watch Werner Herzog's last few documentaries..
He leaves the camera on them after they finish talking…and about 15 seconds in they start squirming…

That was interesting.
I read an article that said the longest time people feel comfortable waiting in silence is about 15-20 seconds; after that they get uncomfortable and start talking again. A good tactic by documentarians, for sure.
I didn't know whether to laugh at or cry for Grizzly Man...
Last one called something like “At home at the end of the world” is fantastic…

Probably overuse at the start of the season.

But Kearns and AH were nice and Belliard
