So I just saw they are casting again for a series of Defining Moments commercials on MASN. The info is below if anyone is interested. I suppose if for some reason you wanted, you could go out for a Nats commercial too. In case you are wondering, yes I did submit acknowledging that I would like to do a "sequel" to last year's. :)

Two years ago, we went to a Nationals game at RFK. Chad Cordero blew a save in the bottom of the 9th and the game went 13 innings, in the rain the entire game. The Nationals wound up losing. Austin Kearns went 0-for-5 and -- not once, but twice -- lost his grip on the bat and threw it into the stands.

That pretty much "defines" how things have gone for the Nationals the last few years, doesn't it?

You think I'm in?

I found out one of the guys who did a Nats commercial last year (the one where they knock the Mets out of first) is actually a Red Sox fan. Someone spotted him at a Nats-Sox game decked out in Boston gear. He confessed he is from Boston originally and became a Nats fan in 2008 when he moved to DC but still is a diehard Sox fan. Why if you're a fan of the Sox would you suddenly switch to the Nats?

My defining moment is the last pitch of every game. Either I kick-over the coffee table, or stay on the couch and smile for a while.
Hopefully I can remain reclined more often than not, this season.
