Home Opener: The National Pastime at Nationals Park

Finally it was here, 
Nats Park on Opening Day  
The stands were full 
and we were ready to play

James Brown from Dematha 
and NFL on Fox
Was the master of ceremonies and assumed his spot


The teams were announced
with the loudest cheer for Stras
Davey Johnson was playful 
even though he's the boss

The Marines from Quantico 
played the opening song
And no one yelled Ohh's
For that, .....I've waited too long


The National Guard 
marched on to the field
and presented the big flag 
which proved we'd not yield


Some Soap Opera star 
threw out the first ball
Is that the best we can do?, 
I yelled to them all
 
He was also a guest
one of the vets in the crowd
and quickly, my angst
turned into patriot proud


With the cry for "playball"
Gio took the mound with his  heart
His pitching was flawless 
with good zip, a great start

Two runs were manufactured 
and the Reds would sure drop
So we sent in Brad Lidge
to get us a stop

The gods were not with him
on this glorious day
The Reds lit him up 
and extra baseball we'd play

Stammen shut em down 
with 10 pitches in the tenth
The buzz was abound
as I held my breath

Gogettumness is our mantra
and winning's our wish
It all came to fruition
When Zim scored on a bad pitch.

5 and 2 was our record
definitely our best start
but the question remains,
how many games can we win by using our heart

We won another 
on the following day
Werth hit a single
after 13 frames of play

Will the pitching hold up

Will the team start to hit

And if we win them all ugly

                          Who gives a SH@T!
