More than just Stephen Strasburg is scheduled for the Washington Nationals next Tuesday. The Racing Presidents will host Pittsburgh’s racing Pierogies will be at Nationals Park next week. From a Nats email:

For the third straight season, the Racing Presidents will face the visiting Pierogies from Pittsburgh during each of the three games vs. the Pirates. Starting Tuesday June 8, Teddy, Abe, George and Tom will square off against Jalapeño Hannah, Cheese Chester, Sauerkraut Saul and Oliver Onion. The tradition started in 2008. In the inaugural race, the four Pierogies were chased by Teddy, wielding a large aluminum foil fork and knife. In the most recent race, held last season in Pittsburgh, Teddy was TKO’d by Potato Pete’s flying tackle, easily the most viewed moment in the history of the young rivalry.

REVENGE!

Also, Ken Burns is throwing out the first pitch that night. On Wednesday, some American Idol singer that I don’t care about.
