Nationals Lose 14-1
An experiment: A running log from RFK (written by hand, then transferred to computer).
Once again I've arrived very early (around 5:45) and eat supper. At 6:30 a special Hawaiian performance began, to celebrate Aloha Friday (I later learned that the Governor of Hawaii had proclaimed today Washington Nationals Day). The performance went from 6:30 to 6:42 and involved 4 dancers dancing on top of each dugout (8 total), six dancers behind home plate and 3 singers playing guitar-like instruments. The singers mostly sang in Hawaiian. After the performance, a Hawaiian Senator presented the proclamation that announced that today was Nationals Day, and then threw out a ceremonial first pitch at 6:44 pm. Then the "Instant Hawaiian Get-away Sweepstakes" five days, 4-night vacation was given away. There were four finalists, and the winner was announced at 6:46 pm. There were not a lot of fans yet at the game, too bad.
Around 6:55 Brianna Berry sang the National Anthem and then an Eagle Scout threw out another ceremonial first pitch.
First Inning: Ryan Drese pitching. Is able to get two outs, but then gives up a two run home run to Ensberg. The home run hit high up the Geico sign in left field. The next batter gets a hit (at this point, Drese has only thrown 14 pitches). Next batter: great catch by Guillen ends the top half of the inning. Total pitches by Drese: 15. SCORE: 2 Astros, 0 Nationals

At some point Kim is relieved by AYALA and the Astros win 14-1, but we left right at this point (with the score 12-1, I thought, so it would appear that I've missed two runs during all the distractions).
The game was very very hot and humid and there were a lot of problems with the score boards (losing power, putting up the wrong pitch count, strike/balls count). It was nice to know what the actual pitch count and what the balls-strikes during the power outage, but this was probably a lot more work than it was worth (especially as I appear to have missed runs).
Sorry, there was a lot of bolding that I was going to do, but I can't seem to bold just the parts that I want without accidently bolding the entire document, probably the late hour.
Once again I've arrived very early (around 5:45) and eat supper. At 6:30 a special Hawaiian performance began, to celebrate Aloha Friday (I later learned that the Governor of Hawaii had proclaimed today Washington Nationals Day). The performance went from 6:30 to 6:42 and involved 4 dancers dancing on top of each dugout (8 total), six dancers behind home plate and 3 singers playing guitar-like instruments. The singers mostly sang in Hawaiian. After the performance, a Hawaiian Senator presented the proclamation that announced that today was Nationals Day, and then threw out a ceremonial first pitch at 6:44 pm. Then the "Instant Hawaiian Get-away Sweepstakes" five days, 4-night vacation was given away. There were four finalists, and the winner was announced at 6:46 pm. There were not a lot of fans yet at the game, too bad.
Around 6:55 Brianna Berry sang the National Anthem and then an Eagle Scout threw out another ceremonial first pitch.
First Inning: Ryan Drese pitching. Is able to get two outs, but then gives up a two run home run to Ensberg. The home run hit high up the Geico sign in left field.

SCORE: 2 Astros, 0 Nationals

At some point Kim is relieved by AYALA and the Astros win 14-1, but we left right at this point (with the score 12-1, I thought, so it would appear that I've missed two runs during all the distractions).
The game was very very hot and humid and there were a lot of problems with the score boards (losing power, putting up the wrong pitch count, strike/balls count). It was nice to know what the actual pitch count and what the balls-strikes during the power outage, but this was probably a lot more work than it was worth (especially as I appear to have missed runs).
Sorry, there was a lot of bolding that I was going to do, but I can't seem to bold just the parts that I want without accidently bolding the entire document, probably the late hour.
