Well, things went sideways on Friday for the Nats and for us at BWW Gaithersburg MD.
The place was packed as I thought and full of red clad patrons and a few orange/blue ones. We did get 2 tables saved in the bar area and had 7 people so there was 1 seat left for any possible visitors that might have shown up. The 1 TV for BT was indeed left on BT for the entire night all through the horrific WS baseball game.
BWW Gaithersburg MD started off very well with 2 number 1s in the CDs leading up to the prime games amid the crazy din of cheering and mostly booing. Then we put up a 3rd on Topix, cool....looking good. Then things went off the rails for the Nats and us. We blew the final Q on Spotlight on all boxes. Had a strong hunch on the wrong answer and BT left that answer still hanging in the final 2 in the random wipeout. I still say random wipeouts make for unequal game scores by wiping the other possible good answer out quickly in some bars and leaving it hanging like forbidden fruit in others. The serpent got us all, which was a huge error not to be split on that one.
Then we put up a 13th in Trend (which was the very last Trendalicious ever!!) and some more decent scores after that, as the Nats choked terribly.
I guess CVAVRA never tried to battle the bumper to bumper traffic across the one bridge over the Potomac that links VA and MD. Southern CA and LA doesn't know what bad traffic is, believe me, I was just there and it was fine compared to DC. (hello to FSPLIT, COWGRL and co. at Griffins and Hurricanes) Even though MD is very close to VA we very rarely go to VA to play at those BT bars and they never come here for good reason, too many terrible choke points on the highways.
Hopefully the Trump curse is over as the Nats head back on the preferable road.
