Hold your horses, says umpire/cowboy John 'High Noon' Hirschbeck

Hirschbeck called time during the fifth inning of Wednesday's game and made it extra clear to colleague James Hoye (who was behind home plate) that the Nats and Mets should slow their respective rolls.

As any self-respecting lawman/30-year umpiring veteran will tell you, the action can't start until the phantom six-shooters are out.
