Nationals Win

I finally made it to a Nationals game on Saturday. I was expecting RFK to be a poor place to watch a baseball game, which is one of the reasons that I have waited so long to take in a game. The seats we had in the 200 section were great. They were about 100 feet back from third base. Close enough to seeByrd accidentally knock over an Umpire and Ohka turn his back on Frank Robinson. Close enough to read the names of the base-runners jerseys’. Not close enough to get a foul ball, although they hit ten rows up and ten rows down from us.

It looks like all of the seats in the 100, 200, and 300 sections will give you a good view of the game. The 400 and 500 sections are on a second tier and a bit further away, but the fans up there sounded to be having an even better time than I was.

Of course, it helped that the Nats won the game to pull with in a half game of the lead in the NL East. Sunday they completed a 3-game sweep of the Marlins to gain sole possession of first place!

Red Sox Win it All!

After seventeen years of following the Red Sox they finally won the World Series. With my normal paranoia and superstition I carefully kept my hopes hidden from the world and expected a monumental collapse at any moment. With a 3 run lead in Game 4 I was sure that all of the wasted base runners were going to come back to haunt us in the eight or ninth inning. I of course was also positive that the 3-0 start of the series was just going to get myhopes up for on more crushing defeat.

However, the Red Sox won. They won. THEY WON!. Well I guess the 100th World Series is as good a time as any to change your luck.

I really don’t know what to do with myself, in fact i am having trouble putting a name to what I am feeling. It might be elation, but I am not sure not having felt it in relation to a sports team before!

Of course i shouldn’t get to used to this, with the Expos coming to DC I will finally have a National League team to cheer for (as long as they are not playing the Red Sox), and I am positive that they have along road of losing ahead of them!

Red Sox Win

The Red Sox pulled off an amazing come from behind series to beat the Yankees for the American League Championship. Yankee fans are still sports most spoiled fans.
