This was in the Hardball with Chris Matthews mailing list:
Chris takes the field tonight for the Washington Nationals home opener (We haven't seen professional baseball in this town for 34 years!)...Yes, we realize it's a local story but it's a big deal around here and we'll keep the conversation on a fun and generalized level for enjoyment by families all across the country...Should make for an interesting show but I have class and when I return, I shall be watching the Red Sox-Yankees game until Tru Calling is on and then I'll flip back until The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is on.
On our show from RFK stadium we'll have a long talk with Senator John McCain whose team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, is facing off against the Nationals tonight...We'll ask him about the game, the steroids controversy and the return of "Hanoi Jane."
We'll also chat with Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning, a former Major Leaguer and a Hall of Famer to boot! I'm sure Chris will ask him about his memories of playing in the majors and what it means that the DC hasn't had a major league team in 34 years...
Chris will also get a better sense of the team and the pressure of a home opener for a new team with the Nats interim GM Jim Bowden...
