Holy crap, y'all. The Rally Lobster is amazing. Here's the rundown of the games, attended by the lobster, since this was posted.
May 15
Lobster attends game without me. Gets a new name; doesn't like it, apparently and the Nationals lose in the 12th inning. Could be a possibility, too, that the R.L. doesn't like games that head into extra innings. His game-saving abilities might be limited to a full nine.

Washington beats the Pirates with a come-from behind two runs scored in the bottom of the 8th.

Against local "rivals" the O's, the Nationals score four runs in the bottom of the 7th to take the game 8-5.

Rainout, but it would have been interesting if the game had been played. As a Mariners fan as well, I would've been torn to have Randy Johnson lose his 300th game because of the lobster. Next night, he won the makeup game.

The Nationals back up John Lannan's good-for-a-National pitching performance with seven runs, mostly courtesy of the home-run ball. Lobster entered the stadium just as the first three runs were logged in the bottom of th
e 1st. Although the 4 runs were added for insurance in the 4th and the 5th, all the team needed were those three that were courtesy of lobster's arrival.
e 1st. Although the 4 runs were added for insurance in the 4th and the 5th, all the team needed were those three that were courtesy of lobster's arrival. Record for the Nationals today: 15-40
Record for the Nationals in games when the lobster is at the game: 6-1-1
Wins: 6
Losses: 1
Rainout: ?
No Decision: 1
So almost half the Nationals' wins are in games where it's been there. I think the proof is in the stuffing.
