Best Pitcher of the Night: Aaron Miles

I went to the Nationals-Cardinals game on Saturday August 4^th and it was by far one of the most entertaining games I have been to. The game had a surprising amount of offense since it was at RFK. The outfield was massive but that didn’t seem to bother Ryan Zimmerman. His shots had to be in excess of 450 feet. Also, the Cardinals played pitiful baseball, a team barely resembling the team that won the World Series last year. Giving up 12 runs to the Nationals shows the disarray that the Cardinal rotation is in. The game was not the only part of the night that was so entertaining. The stadium was surprisingly full, which may have had to do with the fact that it was Thomas Jefferson Bobble head night. Though they may have been there for the bobble head, the fans were into the offensive outburst that came from nowhere despite the large amount of Cardinals fans in attendance. The Presidents Race while recognizing that it is a knock off of the Sausage Race is still entertaining and history was almost made. Theodore Roosevelt has yet to win one of these races and had there not been a pick by an assistant he would have won but Jefferson had to win since it was his night. The night also included an appearance by my favorite Marquette Alum. That would be the man that could get you some free money from the government to start a business, work on an invention, or get your GED. That man is Matthew Lesko. He appeared on the Jumbotron twice and he was of course wearing his trademark question mark suit. He was wearing a white suit with a huge red question mark on the back and one small red one on his lapel. My only regret was that I didn’t have a camera in order to get my picture taken with him. But seeing Marquette’s best alum wasn’t the highlight of the night. The highlight lasted about 3 innings and involved one blond young lady. This woman had gone out to get refreshed when she returned and tried to find her seat. She wandered around for several minutes until she was approached by an usher. They continued to search fruitlessly. Soon after a guy near me offered his friends seat to her which she politely declined. She borrows someones phone and calls her friend, Alex but she still cant find her seat. Our section in an attempt to help begins a “Where Is Alex?” chant which again ends fruitlessly. Then borrowing another phone she finds out where the seat is. Her seat was on the 3^rd base side while she was searching the 1^st base side.
