Didn't hit that one!

Safe! Next time, hold on to the ball :(

Thinking about trying to hit it.

The park police were either very suspicious of us at the game, or just wanted to see what the score was. They kept buzzing the field.

Giselle's new favorite player, right fielder Willie Mo Pena. He hit a home run, one of the few highlights for the Nats. It was his 6th at bat this season. His batting average went from .200 to .333.

This was the view from our seats without the zoom lens. We could see all the action from here.

Yet another Mets hit.

At least sometimes they missed.
