MIAMI, Sept. 12 -- After 4 hours 9 minutes of laboring in the tropical midday heat in a cavernous and virtually empty stadium Wednesday afternoon, the Washington Nationals got stuck with this: a 5-4 loss to the Florida Marlins in 12 innings that was sealed when a .226 reserve player chopped a single through the infield to drive home the winning run. There were perhaps 400 people in attendance. Players seemed both exasperated and exhausted by the fruitless performance that barely anyone was there to see. "It was a long day," said Ryan Church, And "it was an odd day. . . . It was so frigging hot. It was miserable out there."

If you told me when I started Barstool Sports that we’d throw a party that would outdraw a MLB Baseball game I would have said you’re crazy.  But I bet my ass that this Thursday the Barstool Carnival at Ned Devine’s will outdraw this Marlins game last week.   Has the Stool officially arrived or what? 

As a reminder the party starts at 8pm. Basically it is a carnival for adults, Barstool Sports style.    We got everything from sexual psychics, to monkeys to cotton candy.  In addition we will have an open Bud Bar from 8-9pm and this is a no brainer party.  The only catch is you MUST be on our guest list to get in.   If you want to bring friends please have them email us as well instead of just putting plus 6 or whatever.  We need everybody’s name and email.   It makes life much easier.  RSVP at carnival@barstoolsports.com.  You will get a confirmation email if you are on the list within one week.     

Check out all the details at www.barstoolcarnival.com.     It is taking place Thursday September 20^th at Ned Devine’s
