I figured I would grab even more coverage of opening night. I found some in a few other papers I normally read, which by coincidence are from Pennsylvania, including the Patriot-News<\/i>, paper of record for the AA affiliate Senators. I also grabbed the spring training and opposition papers of record. First of though, some photo galleries (all popups) from The Post<\/i><\/b><\/a>, USA Today<\/i><\/b><\/a>, The Times<\/i><\/b><\/a>, and nationals.com<\/i><\/b><\/a>. There are some good features and multimedia that “was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball” on the nationals.com<\/i> Opening Day coverage<\/b><\/a> page.<\/p>\n

    Wow, that is a lot of articles — that is going to do it for me until Monday morning. I am headed “home” to Happy Valley for a quick daytrip (wedding stuff) and want to get out early tomorrow morning. That and I am kind of tired. Enjoy the weekend — go catch another Nats game or two at RFK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
