An exciting and awe-inspiring glimpse into my life: movie reviews (which are replete with spoilers), Penn State football, Washington Nationals, and life here in the nation's capital. Can you handle it?
According to nationals.com, the prez has been invited to throw out the first—or should I say, the inaugural!—pitch at Nationals Park for the home opener on March 30. My prediction: he'll be a no-show, like he was for the last two Nats home openers. His reason: same as before—he won't want to be booed.

Personal feelings aside, I want the president to be there. It's D.C. It's Opening Night (it should be Opening Day) and it's a new ballpark.
I hope President Bush accepts the invitation. Nothing says Opening Day baseball in the nation's capital like having the president throw out the first pitch.
Failing that, maybe we can get McCain, Clinton and Obama out on the mound simultaneously.
Actually, the person I'd love to see throw out the first pitch at Nats Park is Tony Williams, because he's the reason we have baseball in DC now, and I think we should honor him with that first pitch.
I wonder what Tony Williams is up to these days. He would be a good pick, despite not throwing off the mound, if the president can't make it, but I suspect Fenty would be given the ball.
By the way, when the first pitch isn't thrown off the mound, it should be thrown from the stands.
Well if he is throwing out the first pitch, that should be good enough reason for you to not feel so bad about not getting tickets to the game!
