Nats What I'm Talking About

After being disappointed by Ken Griffey Jr.'s absence this weekend at Nationals Park, I witnessed a pleasant surprise Saturday: a 10-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

The Nationals won for the second time in 11 games while I was in attendance Saturday, after they broke a nine-game losing streak Friday. On Sunday, the Nats completed their first sweep since June 13-15 with a 4-2 win. June 15 is also my birthday; would you call that a coincidence, or am I just good luck?

I also saw the Nats win earlier this season against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, May 4. The Nats went on to lose their next five of six, but are 2-0 while I'm in attendance this season. They should have acquired me before the trade deadline.
