Pretty nice weather too, although the weather we had earlier in the day probably played some part in keeping walk-up sales down. Should be nice throughout the Giants series too, except for the possibility of thunderstorms at the Monday finale.
Sadly, for whatever reason (Nats' poor play, weather, Caps conflicts), people are just staying home in droves - 15,142 announced attendance yesterday (second-lowest Thursday turn-out in Nats Park history, missing record by 509).
Also, for the second consecutive evening, they moved the Huntington-bound Yellow line Metrorail trans over to the other platform for no announced reason - caused a fairly dangerous stampede to get to the other side (they announced the single-tracking just as the train was starting to pull in). I fired off an E-mail to Metro earlier this morning asking just what gives - response currently being awaited.
I think people have stopped paying attention. I bet if you asked most casual sports fans in the area what the Nats record was they would ask if they had won a game, and would be convinced this team is well on their way to another 100 loss season.
