Sox Spank Nats, Tweeting Reasonably Enjoyable

Watching the Boston Red Sox spank the Nationals, 11-3, on a night like tonight would normally make for a very uninteresting game. But with tonight's match up being in this blog's back yard (that's right... we're now based in DC), it gave us the chance to join this swooping fad known as Twitter.

The live tweets were actually somewhat enjoyable. Highlights (with spelling corrections, of course) are below.

"Didn't see where that jason bay home run landed... Didn't need to"
"Nick Green can even foul out better that Lugo. All around upgrade."
"Brad Penny might actually be able to hit - running out the slow dribbler on the other hand..."
"Nice to see Julian Tavarez again... especially when he is playing for another team."


For our Boston readers who aren't too well versed with Washington "baseball," the Nationals are absolutely abismal. The fact that they can be a major league team with virtually no offense whatsoever and even less pitching depth boggles the mind.

When they announced that tonight's game set a record for attendance at 41,000+, it was absolutely no shocker whatsoever. Immediately after they showed the graphic on the jumbotron, everyone immediately, (and appropriately) started chanting, "Let's go Red Sox."

Anyone who has been to a Sox game in Camden (or any other East Coast stadium outside of New York for that matter) knows that Red Sox Nation has a way of invading neighboring countries.

But tonight was a bit out of hand. If only the Nats had any fans, I'm sure they would have been really offended.

If you are one of the millions wasting their time on Twitter, feel free to waste your time with us at "NotMirabelli."
