Do they rest after the biggest event of their lives? Do they unpack or open gifts? No, they go to a Nats game, courtesy of my co-worker John, thanks John! He insisted I bring home a win. Mission accomplished. <\/p>\n<p>The Nats were opprutunistic, getting an early run off by playing small ball. The Mets struck me an unagressive in the field, which may or may not have cost them a run or two throughout the game.<\/p>\n<p>Eighty-three games into the season, <b>Esteban Loaiza<\/b> got to .500. He pitched well, ringing up eight Ks and leaving the game in the ninth without giving up a run. However, he was charged for the man walked to start the ninth after closer <b>Chad Cordero<\/b> (reverting to form) allowed the runner to score. Another runner got home due in part to <b>Jose Guillen&#8217;s<\/b> throwing error, which put a man on second and third. However, Cordero got the next two batters out to ensure the win.<\/p>\n<p>Also noteworthy, Erica and I got a later train than we normally do after a game.
