night at the ballpark

Rob, Rachel, Paul and I headed out to the new Nationals Park on Saturday to cheer on the Chicago Cubs against the Washington Nationals. D.C. is such a transplant town and the Cubs have such national reach, it seemed like the Cubs fans almost outnumbered the Nationals fans, at least in our section of the ballpark. (At one point, they even managed a fairly loud, sustained “Let’s go Cubbies, let’s go!” cheer.)

After losing to the Nationals the night before, the Cubs came back on Saturday and won handily, 7-0. (They lost again tonight. As Rob just chirped, “looks like we went to the right game.”)

Aside from the game itself, the new park and various goings-on provided lots of photo fodder, including my first video uploaded to Flickr: a short snippet showing Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln dancing during the seventh inning stretch (above).
