…are more Desmond, Zimmermann, and Norris is Potomac. But I ain’t gonna lie. I’ve seen every start in person (but been to equally many Livo starts and 20 games or so overall) and all the road starts except for Friday’s, where I had to go the rehearsal dinner for my sister’s wedding.

Which is why I will shall stand and be counted. My experience rubbing it in the Mets’ fans faces during the Frankie meltdown in the last home Strasburg start had reduced but not eliminated idiot potential during particularly satisfying Nats wins. Certainly, this one would fall into that category.

Especially given that lineup in that ballpark with that audience. As for me, let’s just say it was deeply satisfying being the lone Nats fan in a part of some sad folks who had the never to attack Strasburg. Particularly of note is Mr. Johnny Gomes, who was talking about how he didn’t want to hit his 100th career HR against Atilano but wanted to save his big moment for the national stage against Strasburg. He went home with a Sombrero. 0-3 with 2K against Strasburg and a strikeout to Clippard with men on base in his next Plate Appearance.
