this makes me go hmmmm.......

I can't wait to head out to the ballpark, I have seats in section 133. It's going to be crazy seeing the stadium 100% packed and mostly full of Nationals fans. The last time the park was filled when I was there was the Philly game and of course we all know how many of them were Phillies fans, though there was a good turnout on June 4th.

It'd be awesome to see Teddy win, especially on Strasburg's debut, that has been the rumor for a long time now, that he would win on his debut, so hopefully it happens!

Going to get a lot of camera footage tonight!

wow, i am jealous. how long ago did you buy them?

have fun and for sure take some pictures.

Funny thing, I bought them the day they said he would debut June 8th. I think it was like the 30th or 31st of May.

There was a lot to choose from at the time, but like 35min later everything was gone.

Funny thing happened to me the other day. So the guy that promised me tickets called me Monday and said the deal fell through and he had tickets for Wednesday's game instead. Obvi, I was upset.

So today I'm stepping on the Metro with an Express (newspaper) in hand around 12:45 and noticed the Nats were selling standing only tickets (2,000 to be exact) at 1 PM. I was like, shit, I'm only three stops away, I can get off at Navy Yard. When I got there, there was hardly no line to speak of, and in about 30 minutes I had two tickets.

Pretty pumped!!

Nice man glad you got them, surprised there was no line, I guess people didn't pay attention.

I have Comcast and live in NOVA. This game isn't going to be in HD is it? I think the Orioles game gets MASNHD tonight...oh well.

that zimmerman homer should give strasburg a little breathing room.

Just gave up a hit. Bust! Send him back down

People are pulling the crap out of him...

Roughed up a bit in the last inning. Want to see how he bounces back from that. His repertoire is sick though
