Preseason win and a loss

Football has returned. The Washington Redskins played in the extra preseason game known as the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio. It was sweet seeing Art Monk and Darrell Green take their places with the other greats. Coming from behind to win was even sweeter. I know preseason doesn't count for anything, but it's nice to wake up with good things to talk about with the Skins and our three quarterbacks than nothing! I'm a little worried about the run defense, but it is early.

In baseball news, longtime Braves announcer Skip Caray died in his sleep.

It's that time of year again.

My loyalties are always a little torn in baseball season. I've been a Atlanta Braves fan since the early 1990s because we didn't have a team here in DC. (Baltimore did not count.) Now we do. Unfortunately they're in the same division.

Guess who the Washington Nationals are opening their new stadium against? Yep, my old Atlanta Braves team. Nationals Park looks nice. I should find a good afternoon game to go see. From the sounds of it, the upper deck seats give you some nice views of the US Capitol. Nice change from the upper tier of Redskins stadium where you see the parking garage...

Braves lost. Oh well, baseball season is officially over for me.

I have nothing against the Cubs. I've rooted for them in the past. I even wrote a vampire story about the night games coming to Wrigley. But the Braves fan in me is heartbroken tonight.

Somewhere a certain character of mine is dancing on the North Side. Another one is swearing eternal damnation on umpires and fireball pitchers. It's always a bad sign when the pitcher is named Wood. Oh shut up Alix!

To my Chicago friends, good series and good luck.

But damn. None of my teams won this weekend. Not one.

*stares at the sheer number of Cubs fans on her friendslist and considers hiding for a week*

Go Braves!

Loyal fan since 1991.
