Last Thursday

I had the opportunity to check out a game last week. It was an interleague game versus the Boston Red Sox. Sox fans were definitely a huge draw to Nats park. Thousands of Massholes jammed the subway, and stadium alike to come see their team play. Much to my delight, the Nationals pulled out a victory that night.

The park was sold out, leaving standing room only tickets available. These tickets cost $10. Why do standing room tickets cost $10, when the cheap SEATS cost $5? Shouldn't NOT using a seat cost less?...like $2.50? Anyway...it didnt matter much, as my friend came thru with a hook-up for me with a $175 Diamond Club seat...for free!!

Here are a few pics from last Thursday...











Yes, I took Cheetos in with me. Next time it will be beer. Nats Park has GOT to be the easiest stadium on Earth to bring stuff into.

Record Breaking Attendance!!

Over 41 THOUSAND fans piled in to Nationals Park last night to see the Nationals. Well to be more accurate, I should say "to see the Nationals LOSE to the Boston Red Sox!"

The Nats held their own on the home turf for a while, but as expected, they were out muscled by the AL-leading Red Sox.

I'm actually trying to go to the game tonight, but cant find any cheap tickets on nationals.mlb.com! WTF!!?!?

Nats Win Streak Ends At 4 :(

Well it was good while it lasted. With a loss to the Toronot Blue Jays, the Nationals' four game win streak has come to an end. Those god damn Canadians snatched the long-awaited Nats momentum with a 9-4 victory over DC's best baseball team.

The Nationals were their NORMAL selves in this game. With a 38 pitch first inning, fans should have immediately known what kind of evening this was destined to be. Nats ole faithful, Ryan Zimmerman wasn't able to muster up any offense to help his team. Going 0 for 5 last night, he is now without hit within his last 17 at bats.

Maybe next time Nationals!

Nationals Get A "W"

Aside from the one on their hats!!

I was able to catch the latter part of the Nats/Yanks game last night. Being preoccupied with other things, I totally forgot about last nights game. These are my two teams! I'm a Yankees fan all the way, but my secondary/NL team is the Nationals.

It was agonizing listening to the local assholes on MASN doing the commentating. My gosh they are so freakin biased towards the Nats to the point its painful to listen to at time. It was a good game, and NY native-turned Nats pitcher John Lannan pitched an excellent game. While things started to get interesting in the 9th inning in typical Nats fashion, the gutter team of the National League was able to hold on and come away with a vicroty last night.

Fire in the hole!

If we had any reasons to go to a nats game (aside from watching them lose), we had hotdogs, beer, the presidents race, the t shirt cannon guy, and the fireworks.

Well we still have those...sans pyrotechnics.

Yesterday, DC Fire chief Dennis Rubin attended the Nats game (a game in which they lost...no surprise). During the National Anthem ("...bombs bursting in air...") firewokrs are traditionally shot from atop Nationals Park. Rubin has called this to a halt, after having a miniscule bit of debri from the firework hit him.

If you've attended the game, you've probably witnessed the small bits of cardboard that come tumbling back down to Earth. Rubin was not amused, nor was he pleased. He immediately put a ban on fireworks at Nationals Park.

Thanks for giving us one less thing to look forward to, ya whiny bastard!

Yaaayyy!!

Looks like I'll be headed to the Nats game tonight. I got a hook-up with a pair of free tickets. The Mrs and I will go to consume beer & hot dogs!
