OK, we're here. You can start winning now.

We left for D.C. around 5pm on Friday night. Luckily WCBS 880 has a rather far reaching reception, and we were able to listen to most of the game on the way down (save for a few dead spots). We stopped to eat along the way and missed the first few innings. By the time we hit the road again the Nats were up 4-3. I think I dozed off at one point because I don't remember much of the game until we got closer to D.C. At that point I was helping my dad navigate from his hand written directions.

As we're nearing closer to the city the Yanks are mounting their 8th inning rally. We turn on to East Capitol St. and Melky knocks an RBI single to bring them within 1. As we head down the road, RFK Stadium just comes into view and Jeter is up. It's always weird driving by a stadium while a game is going on and listening to it on the radio. Just as we're about to turn right to circle around the stadium Jeter draws a walk to send the tying run home. We got a little lost trying to get to the hotel (which isn't hard to do in D.C.). During the time there was a pitching change, Giambi fouled out, and then another pitching change. We were already in the hotel lobby by the time A-Rod struck out. (We later found out that the Road Trip people were staying at the same hotel.)

We made our way up to the rooms in time to see Mariano warming up. I heard something about somebody getting hurt and I assume it's Farnworth (the Nats annoucers suck. As much as we nitpick some of the guys on YES, we should be greatful that we don't have to listen to some of the other guys around the league). Mo proceeds to get the next 2 outs. Next inning Bernie puts one over the right field wall and Damon adds another with a sac fly. Mo retires the side and the Yankees win.

What a great way to start the weekend, right?
