Well, just rolled back into Central Ohio after going to this gem. The offense is putrid, was on the way back from the bathroom when Nieves hit his homer, so not sure what happened with that.
We had left field seats four rows up from the wall right by the bullpen. We hadn't been there 5 minutes and balls were clanging off the seats in BP. One of the Nats (#60 Martin IIRC) tossed a ball my boys' way and my wife caught it, so they were pretty excited about that. But they did not seek autographs
I did get to heckle both CFers, class act that I am. Got to yell at Willy to fire the ball to first next time after he almost botched the DP with a wimpy toss to first after Janish deked Morgan. Then, when Nyjer let Harang's ball fall in, I yelled "its mine, mine, mine Nyjer." Later in the game I reminded him not to forget to call it. All without a $7 beer! There was a drunk yelling unintelligible gibberish at Herrera from the pavilion in center though. That was nice.
My wife wanted to know why that little boy was in the bullpen. I informed her that was Daniel Ray Herrera. He warmed up, had hoped to see him make hitters look silly in person, but he never made it in.
I will say that the fireworks show was top notch. We all really enjoyed that, so at least since there were no offensive fireworks
