This is the day Teddy will win his first race. <br />My theory is Teddy is a front runner and will win his first race on the occasion of the Nationals being in first place alone at home. Some thing that has never happened since the races began :( <br />After taking the first two from the Braves and following the other NL East teams losing one of the opening games, we will have a one game lead at home that day and Teddy will win. Of course under ideal conditions this could happen a day earlier on 2 April, but it will be more dramatic on a Sunday afternoon!Section 311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-63950538418907019522010-09-15T09:51:34.371-04:002010-09-15T09:51:34.371-04:00Bowdenball, great question.

Can't wait to see the greatest hitter ever and the best right fielder in the history of the game in action against my Nationals. The only sad part is that June21-23 are Tuesday-Thursday. But I am going to try to go to all 3 games of that series.

I do like starting the season with a Thursday/weekend series (I wonder how ESPN feels about Sunday Night Baseball not being the official first game of the season), and I'm thrilled it's not the Phoolies we're facing. I think this is the first time, at least as far as I can remember, that we have the home opener, plus home games on Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day.
