In re: Jeremy's Bachelor Party

Yes, J-Red nailed me with the ice bucket while I was passed out cold. The sad thing is that ice is supposed to wake people up from the dead. I think I woke up just enough to brush the cubes off of me because somewhere in the back of my mind I knew if I didn't do that, I'd be covered in freezing water all night. The other sad thing is that if you look closely in that picture, I haven't even flinched despite already having ice covering half my body and ice water about to rain down. So I give props to J-Red for pulling a good bachelor party prank, and I appreciate not having woken up with Sharpie on my face ala Reggie Love or with waking up to find one leg cleanly shaven. And thanks for editing the hookers out of the picture, the fiance does sometimes read this blog. It'll really make for less domestic dischord with one month to go.

Oh, and how about those Nats making Bronson Arroyo suspect that maybe a rockstar career was the way to go after all? John Lannan gave a typical Nats start... pitched kind of crappy, never got ahead in the count, but made clutch pitches when it counted to induce long flyouts to the outfield. Nice that the team can call on a 22-year-old who started the season in single-A Potomac to earn a major league win, and to avoid breaking the hand of another National League all-star. Disturbing to see Ryan Zimmerman make two fielding errors in one night, although admittedly his first error in the first at bat of the game was a real tough play because he was playing in and got a rocket hit to him on one hop. The second error, overthrowing first base, is something I've come to see way too much of from him.

Ah such good memories (of the bachelor party, not of the Nats game last night). What a good idea wonderfully pulled off by J-Red.

See, Jeremy, that's what happens when you have your bachelor party in DC. Mine was in Baltimore, so J-Red was unable to pull any pranks because he had gotten punched in the face in the middle of Baltimore Street over some cheese fries.

Actually the bachelor party was in Ocean City so there was a very good risk of J-Red being beaten by some townies at Seacrets. However, his Eastern Shore roots would've allowed him to connect with his assailants at a more heart-to-heart level, unlike when he stupidly and drunkenly confronted gangbangers on West Baltimore Street.

I meant to comment on the Nats' ineptitude ending a potential record breaking season for Chase Utley. He was WAY ahead of the pace for the extra-base hits record for a second baseman.
