nats game

Finally! Will be in D.C. with my bro watching the Nationals smack the Mets around tomorrow afternoon. Should be a good game, as the Nats are one of the baddest teams in the league and the Mets are such an easy team to hate. Kinda came together at the last minute and the best we could do is nosebleeds up there in the upper deck above right field, but that's probably good for a first game at RFK. We'll be able to see a lot and get a feel for what seats are good so I'll know what to look for next time. And they're cheap--trying getting into an NFL or NBA game for $7 apiece. I wish I could have planned it out a bit more and maybe gotten some others in on the action but there's always the rest of the season. Should be a great time had by both.

UPDATE: Nats lost 5-2, figures. That Sunny Kim ain't worth much as a reliever. And the Nats' fielding and effort on defense left lots to be desired. But it was good nonetheless. The seats were some of the only ones in the stadium that were shaded the whole time and we had no trouble following the game from up there. In fact, I'd say given the $7 price tag those would probably be among my top choices for matinee game seating (the bleachers are on the eastern side so the sun would be blinding from there in evenings). The drive in sure sucked--stupid parades and swarms of clueless tourists and all, and police blocking random intersections that I needed. But that shouldn't be such a headache next time.
