The Nats Thread

[DeathFromAbove1979]

Not to mention if it was a bobblehead game against the Phils, they'd rip the heads off and throw them on the field. They are all trash.

Any who, good to see the Nats bats waking up!

can we start a kickstarter campaign to send DFA1979 and hutch on a date to the next nats home series vs. the phillies? i'll donate at least enough for a couple of beers for you guys.

I'll kick in if Hutch wears a Harper jersey.

I'll throw in $$ towards this. Hutch and DFA1979 in a small, contained geographic area? Worth it.

I don't go to phillies games....to be honest these days I don't get to many games due to the kids... I"ll be at one of the Dodgers-Nats games though...

I can see using "I have kids" as an excuse to attend less concerts. I do that myself.

But using "I have kids" as an excuse for attending fewer baseball games? How does that work?

huh...its hard for me to get to the balpark by 7.....and then by the time i get home its real late and i'm cashed out...

concerts are a breeze comparatively plus i get back so much more...i can be around for dinner and hang out with my kids..put them to bed..

i found when i didn't have kids i was going to about 20 games a year...since i've had kids i've gone to but a few.. moving from dc to arlington explains part of it..

also i didn't used to have tv for like a decade... now i got tons of sports and baseball on.. i like to relax and watch some after the kids have gone to bed

as far as taking the kids on weekends.. we take them to one or two games a year... its usually a huge painful production...is taking 2 and 4 year olds to games really worth it? i see other parents doing it and they all seem to be leaving by the 5th inning...

so there you go..

Smh. This was a cool "hey it's a DC sports team thing" thing and of course they'd get rid of it. Their response was it's still in the rotation. Sheesh.

Do they still play Waiting Room at the home games of the Landover NFL franchise?

so there you go..

All very good points. No doubt you'll go to more games as the kids get older. Assuming the develop an interest in going.

For the two to for year old set, there's always Sunday games with kids run the bases, the playground area, and feeding them lots of snacks.
