Randy Johnson's failed attempt at entertaining me

Last night, like many others, Peter and I headed to nationals park to try and see Randy Johnson's 300th win.

Having been to the park many times before, i knew i didnt need to buy tickets in advance and pay service charges, so we showed up at 6:30 all ready to buy tickets, armed with one umbrella, and got in line. It begin to rain, but it only took seconds to turn to derential downpours...stupidly we bought the tickets anyway thinking it would pass.

We made our way into the ball park and huddled with others under the only overhang in the entire entrance section. We made a run for it and got into the team store looking for dry flip flops and rain ponchos. Initially they had neither, but quickly got the ponchos.

Of course as soon as we got the ponchos the rain stopped, so we made our way to the concessions and had dinner through off and on showers. Finally at 8ish it stopped raining and the grounds crew came running out in all their glory and began to attempt to dry the field. Things were looking up.

We found our way to our seats and were all ready for the game when they made an announcement over the loudspeaker: "there is a second storm coming through, but the field is ready, so if the storm misses us, we will play"...then "attention all nats fans, please leave your seats immediately and find shelter"

That was when we left, game still not called. Our ride home was difficult through all the rain and lakes now on the road.

All night i kept checking to see if the game was called, but i went to bed with the nats still thinking the game might happen that night.

It was rescheduled for 4:35 today, so clearly i wont be there :(
