On Wednesday, I went to the Mets/Nationals game at RFK. We were lucky to see Pedro Martinez pitch for the Mets.



Before this particular game, I watched Pedro pitch against the Nationals on TV. This was when he his Jose Guillen twice. I was really astonished how little control he had. I learned from the announcers that Pedro didn't pitch much during spring training, which obviously had a major impact on him.

I really thought the Nationals had a good chance to beat Pedro. Unfortunately, Pedro got a lot better from his last outing. He managed to control the location of his pitches and was able to outsmart the Nationals. What was really amazing was how he was able to get out of a bases loaded situation by getting the Nationals to pop up. The final score 3-1, Mets.

The Nationals really need to look into their outfield situation. There were a lot of fly balls that the center fielder should have caught. I don't know if the whole situation with Alfonso Soriano messed up the team chemistry or whatever goes on in the locker room, but the Nationals are not playing up to their potential.

After the game, predictably there was a huge crowd of people by the metro station. We decided to take the bus, D6 to Dupont, figuring it might be quicker than trying to get on the train. For a little while, it seemed to be the case, but then we got stuck waiting at Dupont for the D2. We did have some entertainement, there were 2 guys, one was obviously very drunk and the other was trying to keep him in check. It was quite depressing to watch. I decided to play with my camera a little to see if I could figure out how to take a picture without the flash. This is the result:
