Anyway, you'd be hard pressed to find fans that are as enthusiastic as you expect when you're down six runs early. It's just human nature. As soon as the Phils scored a couple, you admitted yourself that the fans were in the game "for the first time." <br />Anyway, head up to a game now. Every game is a sell out, and every game has enthusiasm that would rival any ballpark. Just came from a three game series at your beloved Nationals Park. It seemed like it was Citizen's Bank Park South. Barely a one Nats fan, tons of Phillies fans. Hard to get energized when your team loses 100 games a year, isn't it? And you complained that the Phillies fans were quiet when down 6 runs. Ha!<br />Anyway, good write up, and best of luck to the Nats. I am a big Caps and Skins fan, so I do like the city and its sports teams!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00232675527834583199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-58073465865047102542007-09-06T18:45:00.000-04:002007-09-06T18:45:00.000-04:00Not to be rude but nobody in the NL really cares w...Not to be rude but nobody in the NL really cares when their team takes on the basement dwelling Nats and thats probably why nobody was cheering much (sitting in a expensive seat also attracts less rowdy fans). I have seen a much bigger rise out of fans when the Mets or Braves hit Philly or when the Phillies or Braves or Dodgers head into NY. The tickets sell out for all these series whereas the Nats and Marlins tickets are available at the door for the Phils and Mets. We ended up getting shut out of buying tickets to around 5 series we wanted in NY and around 4 different series in Philly this year, they sell out faster each year, some teams draw, others are ghost days. <BR/><BR/> As a fan of all baseball, I routinely attend games at the Citizen Bank Park and Shea and have been down to see the Nats since they have been in Washington and must say the Nats fans that you seem used to feel like a minor league crowd to me and they seem starved for any kind of baseball. This is what might explain the enthusiasm you feel there. It stinks that you got some ignorant folks sitting around you, even in the "primo seats".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-1156256954354367762006-08-22T10:29:00.000-04:002006-08-22T10:29:00.000-04:00I said this on the day of the trade and I will say...I said this on the day of the trade and I will say it again. I believe that Kearns and Lopez are two duds that Cincy wanted to unload. Lopez is poor defensively and he strikes out way too much. He also had a reputation in Cincy of being lazy and having a bad attitude. We are also finding out that Kearns is not a power hitter, not a clutch hitter and he also strikes out way too much. Maybe we didn't give up that much to get them, but that doesn't mean it was a trade we should have made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-1156088091611201442006-08-20T11:34:00.000-04:002006-08-20T11:34:00.000-04:00Wow, that's a terrific write-up!

I've always wanted to get up there for a game but it seems like I'm always too busy when the time comes. <BR/><BR/>I'm surprised that their stadium is so dead; I would have thought they'd still be selling out that new park. I have no idea why their fans are always so drunk and boorish. I've seen them getting tossed out of RFK on many occasions.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, great writeup, thanks!Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928284083910072694noreply@blogger.com
