Absolute music to my ears!!

We'll (me and my buddy Gator John) will be sitting past the Nats dugout down the first base side in the front row on Saturday.
Ramos looked terrific during bp yesterday. And Espinosa still no leg kick from the left side which is a good thing.
All good news to hear on Ramos and Espi and on Saturday, get us lots of pictures!
NatsLady, nice read on Game 5. How often will you plan on writing a blog post?
Maybe Mark can add you to the BlogRoll on the left margin.
