Good to have you 'round, especially given your having attended every home game for 34 consecutive years! I'm with you on that one.

Ok, step away from the bottle. He didn't say he attended every home game for 34 consecutive years.

Well, there were only two home games during that span. September '71-April 2005. Unless you count the Mets exhibition game, which I also attended, which makes a total of 3 games.

Besides, it's a rare pleasure to be getting into the bottle this early....

Hello! I lurk just about every day at work, so I figured I might as well sign up finally

I'm a lady!fan up in Brooklyn. Still have never been to Nats Park

But I have my Extra Innings so I can watch as many games as possible. Don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing...

Proud JMU Alum. Nice to meetcha! Go Nats!

Welcome Bklyn! Nice to Meetcha too!

Where in Bklyn? My Mom grew up there but never made it to a Dodgers game. I must take after my Dad, because ever since he took me to my first Senators game, I was hooked!

I'm in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area. Northeast part of Brooklyn

It's a nice place to live. I'm a little further east, so it's not the most convenient spot to catch a subway. But I can still get to work in 45 minutes if the buses are running. Can't complain about that.

Thanks for the welcome, all!

Hi all. I'm pretty new to this board and have already posted a couple of times. I'm a DC born, NoVA bred fan of all DC-based sports teams. I went to high school in Arlington, and the only other Virginia school I have graduated from is William & Mary. I was 10 when the Senators II left in 1971 and had Nats season tickets, with my brothers and brother-in-law, from 2005 through 2008. However, we just decided there was no real advantage to having those tickets any longer so we did not renew for 2009. I really like this board and plan to read and occasionally contribute for a long time.

Welcome, Gleason2. Are you "Gleason" from the MLB board?

Gleason2 · « **Reply #939:** July 19, 2009, 10:13:31 PM »

Yeah, I'm the same guy, Tom.

Welcome to the Zimmm free zone.

Although for now, one of his alter egos is allowed to post, but barely.

CALSGR8 · « **Reply #941:** July 20, 2009, 04:55:09 AM »

Welcome Gleason!

I was about the same age when the Senators 2 left also! Some fans around here are such rookies!

Hello from Raleigh, NC - home of the blacked out games!

Been a fan since day 1, and was a 20 game plan holder for the first three years. Watched every game I could, either at home or in person. Moved to Raleigh, NC just over a year ago and can only catch a few games since we are blacked out down here, even through Time Warner refuses to carry them. I can't get DirecTV where I live, so I only watch them when I can convince a bartender to turn off the Yanks or Sawx games in favor of Marlins/Nationals. I am going to be able to get ATT TV service (much like Fios up there) hopefully soon'ish, so maybe that will change.

Not a huge poster, but you will see me in game threads on games I can actually watch

Hilarious name. Seems like Time Warner may actually be worse than Comcast

Hi- been in DC area about a year now and while not a Nats fan I have been to enough games where I feel the need to have a place to talk about the team without other people giving me weird looks and baseball in general

Nobody will give you wierd looks here. All of us have to slightly askew to continue to beat our heads against the wall, night after night. At least, you can't be accused of being a bandwagoner.

Are you a former 'spos fan?
