i ordered my tickets for the nationals/pirates game June 10th! the annual trip to beautiful PNC park for a nationals game is always one of the highlights of my summer. i'll be sitting right behind the nationals dugout. looking forward to it! maybe by June 10th, we will be on the uprise!

btw, i'm undefeated at pnc park. 2-0.

I need to try one of those Primanti Brothers sandwiches before a game there.

Yep. Can give further recommendations if you like, e.g. the Carnegie Science Center has a real WWII submarine under the river that you can walk through.

Erica's Mariners MUST arrange for her friend, Debbi Taylor, to interview Air Zimmerman at that game. She can ask him, "How do you like some of the new players... such as ELIJAH DUKES?" (Tell her to bring Bazooka bubble gum.)

I'll be going to a game at PNC park next month -- sadly it's not a Nat's game - but I'm running a large meeting in Pittsburgh and I'm taking my staff (all 45 of us) to the game and a picnic -- they are playing Toronto ...

Have fun. Post pictures.

You do realize that a picture of you with Dukes and Belliard, (holding up a pack of gum) is mandatory?

On that note all "other pictures" you can keep to yourself.

on a serious note, are players cool with taking pictures with fans? i wouldn't ask anyways, but that would be cool to get a picture w/ dukes or belly. i'll probably just do the usual and ask for autographs from those who are worthy.

Some are actually fine with it, ESPECIALLY if there aren't a lot of other fans around. That could be dicey because if they do it for one, they might feel obligated to do it for others. SO if you could catch them away from a mob of people, your chances would be much better! If you're able to get near them around the dugout prior to a game in NY, your chances would likely be really, really good.

I'm undefeated at PNC park aswell... but it wasnt for a nats game, so basically, it could be for any team lol. I went to one game, the Pirates / Astros game like 6 years ago, when Daryle Ward was the first and only so far to hit a homer(grand slam at that) in the Allegany River

If they play tonight's game Lannan will pitch Monday and Redding will go Tuesday. If tonight's game is postponed you'll probably see Lannan on Tuesday.

1 DAY AWAY FROM GETTING MY FIRST LIVE GLIMPSE OF THE TEAM!

i've been counting down the days, but sadly it seems like the players have been counting down the days until the season is over.

I saw one game in 2005 or 2006, but that was it.

2005 - Shea Stadium, Nats @ Mets (W 7-3, six runs in first inning)
2006 - Fenway Park, Nats @ Red Sox (L 4-2, Vidro, Guillen homers)
2007 - none
2008 - Nationals Park, Nats vs Mets (W 10-6, Felipe Lopez grand slam), Nats vs Cubs (W 4-3, Wil Nieves walk-off homer)

CJames0569 · « **Reply #18:** June 09, 2008, 04:37:46 PM »

2007- Wrigley Field, 5/6 Nats @ Cubs (L 4-3, Cordero blew the save in the top of the 9th and Ward drove in the winning run in the 10th)
-Froze my ass off that day at Wrigley and had to hear it from a 100 drunken cubs fans

Ah yes, a 2006 game at Fenway park. I remember the Nationals lost.

Thanks for the reminder to tape the games Tues and Weds. No time to hit PNC this year, unfortunately. And stupid FSN Pit doesn't broadcast all the games - so I miss out on Thursday's game.

Air Zimmerman · « **Reply #22:** June 09, 2008, 10:35:02 PM »

since we just lost 4 straight to the crappy giants, i think we're due for a win tuesday night. i'm hoping to remain undefeated at pnc park (2-0). my tickets are slightly to the side of the nationals dugout. in case the camera catches me, i'll be wearing the navy away hat with a navy zimmerman t-shirt.

GO NATS!

Ali the Baseball Cat · « **Reply #23:** June 09, 2008, 11:13:10 PM »

I know a couple of people who will be representing at PNC tomorrow, and have heard anecdotally of others, so maybe Nats fans will be the majority haw haw...anyways, have fun, we'll see you on TV.
