We dont worry about the pennant much, We just like to see the boys hit it deep.

Nothing says spring is in the air like a little pitch and catch on a Saturday night. The Washington Nationals played the Phillies for their spring pre-season game. Brendan and I had a pretty nice view from the cheap seats!!! We are both looking forward to the Braves coming up to D.C. later this season!
This post actually reminded me of a great song by Alabama that I will be downloading on itunes tonight. It's a great summer jam!

Alabama, Cheap Seats:

This town aint big, this town aint small.
Its a little of both they say.
Our ball club may be minor league but at least its triple a.
We sit below the marlboro man, above the right field wall.
We do the wave all by ourself.
Hey ump, a blind man couldve made that call.

Chorus
We like our beer flat as can be.
We like our dogs with mustard and relish.
We got a great pitcher whats his name.
Well we cant even spell it.
We dont worry about the pennant much.
We just like to see the boys hit it deep.
Theres nothing like the view from the cheap seats.

The game was close, well call it a win.
Go off to toast the boys again.
That local band is back in town.
They got a kinda minor league sound.
Theyre not that bad, theyre not that good.
But all in all its understood.
We wanna dance, they wanna play.
We wouldnt have it any other way.

Chorus
Cheap seats

Now the majors called up oh whats his name.
And one more buildin rises tall.
And suddenly were all grown up.
And this old town not quite so small.
But Ill always miss the middle size town.
In the middle of the middle-west.
With no name pitchers and local bands,
And mustard and relish and all the rest.
