Quintero:

In my opinion, the runner has Everett's frame, as he appears skinnier than the already small Guzman, although Palmeiro's not much larger.

Palmeiro singled and stole second in the first. Then he doubled in the third. Is it even possible to distinguish which situation this picture follows? At the very least, here's all the people:

AB: Morgan Ensberg
On Second: Orlando Palmeiro
Nats C: Gary Bennett
Nats 3B: Carlos Baerga
Nats SS: Cristian Guzman
Umps: HP Troy Fullwood,
2B James Hoye
3B Dana DeMuth

Luckily Cliff cut out the third base ump so I don't have to do more digging like the last two...

ASTROS 1ST: Taveras grounded out (shortstop to first); Palmeiro
singled to center; Berkman popped to second; Palmeiro stole
second; Ensberg singled to third [Palmeiro to third]; Lamb flied
to right; 0 R, 2 H, 0 E, 2 LOB. Astros 0, Nationals 0.

ASTROS 2ND: Everett singled to center; Vizcaino popped to third;
Everett stole second; Quintero struck out; Rodriguez struck out;
0 R, 1 H, 0 E, 1 LOB. Astros 0, Nationals 0.

ASTROS 3RD: Taveras was called out on strikes; Palmeiro doubled
to right; Berkman flied to left; Ensberg was called out on
strikes; 0 R, 1 H, 0 E, 1 LOB. Astros 0, Nationals 0.

ASTROS 6TH: Berkman doubled to center; Ensberg flied to center
[Berkman to third]; Lamb hit a sacrifice fly to right [Berkman
scored]; Everett struck out; 1 R, 1 H, 0 E, 0 LOB. Astros 1,
Nationals 1.

I would say the last one is out; the runner on second doesn't look like Berkman.

Sadly, I doubt we can solve the 1st or 3rd inning mystery, unless we say that the batters' box would have been more destroyed by the third inning...

You guys, of course, got the game right. Perhaps the most boring game I've ever attended. Just brutally dull. I was hoping the Astros would pinch-hit Roger Clemens as the extra innings drudged on (they did pinch-hit Brandon Backe and the Nat's pinch ran Ryan Drese), but no luck. At least it was a beautiful day and I was sitting in a shady part of the upper deck with some good friends.

Oh, and yes, I stayed for the whole thing.

Palmeiro slid on his stolen base; his right pant leg is clearly dirty in both the first and third innings.
Both batter's boxes are still visible in the third inning.
Palmeiro didn't have to slide on his double.

(1) the runner seems to have a left ear flap;
(2) the batter seems to have sideburns;
(3) the batter seems to have a narrow stance;
(4) there appears to have been at least some action at third base.

Palmeiro's a lefty; Ensberg is clean shaven and has a fairly wide stance; and in the 1st no play had yet gone to third. Plus, the opposite batter's box looks more messy than if only two batters had used it (the case in the 1st).

Thus, I'm now for the Everett/Quintero situation in the 2nd.

You can go there to watch the Yankees play Games 3 and 4 of the World Series this year.

I would like to say with confidence that I think it's the 1st inning of the aforementioned game and that I'm a smart monkey.
