Game One

It was, of course, a little anti-climactic. There was no over-hyped pre game coverage to watch on UPN-20, the Nat's Network (besides, Pedro was pitching for the Mets up the dial). Still, I wonder how many bottles of Champaign were uncorked around the District when Brad Wilkerson stepped in against Jon Lieber and the drought was officially over.

The production of the television broadcast on Channel 20 was rudimentary. Apparently the Nats through together the broadcast team and pre-game show quickly that they forgot to teach color commentator Ron Darling the players names. I did, however, like Mel Proctor's play-by-play.

As for the game, Nats fall, 8-4.
