Hey everyone, my name is James. I have been a fan since the team came to DC in 2005. Before that, I always thought it was a travesty that the "National Pastime" was not in the National Capital.
Now back living in the area and pumped I can get to take my kids to see some Nats games!
GO NATS!!!

Welcome, love the avatar!

You shouldn't need further approval. It's just a protective measure to make sure new posters aren't spammers, scammers, etc. I have approved all of your posts up to this point.

Awesome. Thanks. I didn’t know for sure. So happy to be here, and glad to get to talk to fellow Nats fans.

Thank you. I am stoked to have the Fred Nats so close. Can’t wait til they start playing.

We toured the stadium during an open house last fall. The turf is really interesting (the dirt is made from crushed coconut shells). I’m looking forward to driving down for a game but I’ll miss the dumpy charm of the pfitz

I was there just a couple weeks ago. They have really come a long way. It’s definitely one of the nicest single-A stadiums I’ve seen.
Interesting. I did not know that about the grass. I need to take the tour once things get closer to normal.

Just curious - why is my post count stuck on 13? Anyone else have this issue, or have I posted too much for a new guy?

It's all part of the initiation process.

Posts outside the baseball boards don't count towards your post count, so the beer discussion doesn't count

Whaaaaaat???
No points for beer discussion. Bummer. I could talk about beer all day.

Thanks for the info. I still have a lot to learn, I suppose.

First rookie mistake - nothing around here makes sense.

Honestly I've considered removing the post count display from the regular posts but it felt like one of those "if it ain't broke" situations.

There is usually one especially good beer-related comment a year that wins the poster amazing things that cannot be divulged in public.

Question: How long must one remain a lurker? Is there like some probationary period to make sure I am not spamming the board or something?
Not complaining, I will happily play by the rules. I am just curious, and I didn't see it posted anywhere.
Thanks.

Well hello fellow jarhead! Sorry I'm late to the welcome wagon. My girl lives down in F-Burg so we should grab a beer at a F-Nats game when the world stops losing it's collective mind.

Hey brother! Sounds like a plan. I am really hoping for a season this year. PM me when you have an idea of when and we can work out the particulars.
Semper Fi!

Welcome!

FWIW, the Nats have asked the DC mayor to authorize at least some attendance. To be negotiated. Your neighbor from the Fashionable West End of Henrico County organizes a get together at the Park when they allow us in.

My name is Lee. Was a longtime Expos fan. Was angry with the name change so became a Blue Jays fan but the AL sucks and I've decided to return to my first love. Blessing.
