Annapolis, MD-- The HerbFM crew is once again at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium for the 2009 New Balance MLL Championship.  We had a chance to speak to Jeff Sonke of the Denver Outlaws before the game.  He told us that he believes that the Denver offense is much faster than the Nationals.  We will keep an eye on him throughout the game.  Kyle Harrison also told us that his hamstring is feeling 100%, but is still taped for precaution.  Brett Queener did some warm up, but is still sidelined with a broken hand.  We did not see any tape or support on his hands during the warm up.  According to a source close to the Nationals, Geoff Snider keeps his stick heads in the ice cooler to keep them legal.
