Florida 9 - Washington 2, Win Dontrelle Willis(1-0), Loss John Patterson(0-1)
Kyra DeBlaker went with me to this game. Opening Day, actual one this year. Final season in RFK, I really won't miss it much. I'll be back for soccer matches anyway.

Arizona 7 - Washington 1, Win Brandon Webb(1-0), Loss John Patterson(0-2)
Miranda and Maya went with me to this game despite the horrid weather. Too bad it's not my birthday everyday.
Box Score

Washington vs. Atlanta Braves, Monday April 16, 2007
Atlanta 1 - Washington 5, Win Matt Chico(1-1), Loss Chris James(2-1)
Jennifer Fox got us these tickets through work. She went with me along with Sarah Bonner and someone else who's name I can't remember from GMU who I'd not met before. A few innings in a guy walked by us, probably on his way to the bathroom. I recognized him as an actor, but couldn't remember from what specifically. Then about 30 seconds later it hit me. We all frantically googled on our phones to see if I was right and I was. It was the US Marshall who escorted Kate on the plane in Lost. He died early in the first few episodes, but occasionally showed back up in Kate backstory episodes. Kinda neat to see him there. He was with someone who looked to be 18 year old guy. His name is Fredric Lehne.
Box Score

Washington vs. Philadelphia Phillies, Wednesday April 18, 2007
Philadelphia 4 - Washington 5 (13 innings), Win Levale Speigner(1-0), Loss Francisco Rosario(0-1)
I went to this game with Hess. He stuck until the bottom of the 9th, but then left. It was exciting, going 13 innings, almost 4 1/2 hours long. We came out with the victory, this is good. Phillies have a worse record than us right now, and we need to keep it that way. I predict Charlie Manuel is in his final days as skipper. He'll be gone by mid next week if there isn't a sudden turnaround.
Box Score

Washington vs. New York Mets, Friday April 27, 2007
New York 3 - Washington 4, Win Matt Chico(2-2), Loss Oliver Perez(2-2), Save Chad Cordero(3)
Caitlyn Noto went with me to this game. It was nice to see Cordero actually finish. The game was fun with incredible weather.
Box Score

Washington vs. New York Mets, Saturday April 28, 2007
New York 6 - Washington 2(12 innings), Win Aaron Sele(1-0), Loss Saul Rivera(0-1)
Miranda and Maya went with me to this one. It was incredible weather once again. But, the result from Cordero was not the same. He blew it in the 9th and we went 12. Dissappinting, he was 1 strike away from wrapping it up and us heading home. Instead, we lose the game along with an hour of our lives.
Box Score

Washington vs. Florida Marlins, Friday May 11, 2007
Florida 0 - Washington 6, Win Shawn Hill (3-3), Loss Scott Olsen(3-3)
Leighton went with me to this one. It the best Nats game I've seen this year. Hill was perfect through 4, and still no hit through 5, but then came out hurt. We won regardless, but hopefully he'll be back soon. Great win, great win.
Box Score

Washington vs. Baltimore Orioles, Friday May 18, 2007
Baltimore 5 - Washington 4, Win Steve Trachsel(2-3), Loss Jason Simontacchi(1-2), Save Chris Ray(9)
I went to this game with Jake, Lindsey, Chris, and Brian. We drove to Jake's then walked over from there. Great weather, just wrong result as usual.
Box Score

Washington vs. Baltimore Orioles, Sunday May 20, 2007
Baltimore 3 - Washington 4, Win Jesus Colome(3-0), Loss Danys Baez(0-3), Save Chad Cordero(5)
Miranda and Maya went with me to this. Despite being our anniversary, Miranda was okay with seeing a game. Great weather again, and the 3 run comeback in the 8th sealed up a great game.
Box Score

Washington vs. Los Angeles Dodgers, Wednesday May 30, 2007
Dodgers 5 - Washington 0, Win Derek Lowe(5-5), Loss Mike Bacsik (1-1)
Ollie Pardo came with me to this game. His first baseball game, and I suspect it will also be his last. It was still nice taking him having gone to so many football matches with him over the years.

Washington vs. Los Angeles Dodgers, Thursday May 31, 2007
Dodgers 4 - Washington 11, Win Micah Bowie(2-2), Loss Mark Hendrickson(2-3)

Box Score

Washington vs. San Diego Padres, Friday June 1, 2007
San Diego 3 - Washington 4, Win Jon Rauch(3-1), Loss Cla Mereditch(2-3)
Pam Evans went to this game with me. She's from San Diego, and despite wearing her Hoffman Padres garb I let her sit next to me. It was fun, and I'm glad we snuck out a win.
Box Score

Washington vs. Pittsburgh Pirates, Wednesday June 6, 2007
Pittsburgh 5 - Washington 6, Win Chad Cordero(1-0), Loss Salomon Torres(0-3)
Caitlyn Noto went with me to this game. Another win, 3 in a row! Good times, though we almost blew it ending up in extras. Thankfully they got that run in the 9th and we were able to go on home.
Box Score

Washington vs. Detriot Tigers, Wednesday June 20, 2007
Detriot 8 - Washington 4, Win Jeremy Bonderma(8-0), Loss Saul Rivera(1-2)

Washington vs. Cleveland Indians, Saturday June 23, 2007
Cleveland 4 - Washington 3, Win Tom Mastny(5-2), Loss Chad Cordero(1-2), Save Joe Borowski(21)
Miranda and Maya went with me to this game. It was fun, except of course for Cordero giving the lead back and Nook's crappy baserunning play to end the game with the bases loaded.
Box Score

Washington vs. Chicago Cubs, Tuesday July 3, 2007
Chicago 3 - Washington 1, Win Carlos Zambrano(10-6), Loss Tim Redding(0-1), Save Bob Howry(3)

Washington vs. Chicago Cubs, Wednesday July 4, 2007

Washington vs. Milwaukee Brewers, Saturday July 7, 2007
Milwaukee 4 - Washington 5, Win Jason Simontacchi (6-6), Loss Jeff Suppan(8-8), Save Chad Cordero(15)

Box Score

Washington vs. Houston Astros, Tuesday July 17, 2007
Houston 4 - Washington 2, Win Chris Sampson(7-6), Loss Tim Redding(1-2), Save Brad Lidge(1)
Jeff Nyveen from AARP went to this game with me. We had a good time, despite the loss. He's into baseball history and stats so it made for an interesting conversation throughout the game.

Washington vs. Colorado Rockies, Friday July 20, 2007
Colorado 3 - Washington 1, Win Aaron Cook(6-6), Loss Billy Traber(2-1), Save Manny Corpas(4)
Kenny Lee went with me to this game. We'd not been to a game together in a whlie. So it was fun hanging out, just disappointing that we lost, but it happens.
Box Score

Washington vs. Cincinnati Reds, Wednesday August 1, 2007
Cincinnati 2 - Washington 7, Win John Lannan(1-0), Loss Bronson Arroyo(4-12)

Box Score

Washington vs. St. Louis Cardinals, Friday August 3, 2007
St. Louis 2 - Washington 3, Win Chad Cordero(2-2), Loss Ryan Franklin(4-1)
I went to this alone. Dave Watta had to cancel due to being sick. But with it being a 20 game plan game I had the normal crew around. Plus Kyra and Brian came and sat near me for most the game.
Box Score

Washington vs. St. Louis Cardinals, Saturday August 4, 2007
St. Louis 1 - Washington 12, Win Joel Hanrahan(1-0), Loss Joel Pineiro(1-2)

Box Score

Washington vs. Philadephia Phillies, Sunday September 23, 2007
Phillies 3 - Washington 5, Win Luis Ayala(2-2), Loss Antonio Alfonseca(5-2), Save Chad Cordero(36)
Miranda and Maya went with me to this. The final game at RFK. It was fun, I didn't feel great, but it's baseball and it's sad to see it end. We're going to Phillie to round out the season the following weekend. So I've got one more in me for the season. It's been long, but finally a winning record for me at home!
