Let's go Nats!
Just wanted to say that I have been rooting the Nats on all season (I’m a Phillies fan at heart, but I really admire the immense hitting capabilities of the Nationals and their never-say-die attitude). Anyway, best of luck against the Braves. Sweep the Braves!

Cool.......one day the games won't be so one-sided.......
Utley, however, is still a dead man….

Attention FB.com readers: emergency blog meeting!
We will be convening in the FB.com offices high atop the Red Loft around gametime tonight to make strenuous efforts to improve this season’s record. This will likely involve eating garlic fries and drinking beer until the record doesn’t seem so bad. It is not clear whether there is sufficient beer in the park (or, indeed, in the world) for our plan to work. Do not let this stop you from trying. Please substitute nachos, chicken wings, tofurkey, or Wild Turkey as appropriate if you are unable to attend the meeting.
I’ll be the guy in the Nats jersey. (Sadly, that’ll probably be enough to find me…)

Georgia Tech is coming off a bad game against Miami so they’ll be fired up. Carolina’s o line is kind of banged up, so I hope their defense will carry if Tech tries to get frisky.

I'm curious as to how you became a Nat'ls fan.
Not trying to be rude, of course…just curious.

I always liked the Expos too…and I am a huge fan of the game. So, they’re my local team.
I probably go to more Orioles games because of the great stadium, food and I like the feel of the crowd and the stadium better in Baltimore.

I would love to go to Camden Yards!
Actually, my friend and I are planning a trip next summer where we’ll travel up the coast and go to several games. Hopefully we’ll get to go to Camden Yards, Citi Field, Nationals Park, and Citizens Bank.
I grew up in Atlanta in the 90’s, so I didn’t really have a choice.

HA. I lived there in 93-94...A great time for the Braves.

'94 must've been hard for y'all Expos fans, eh?
That was the year y’all had that big lead before the strike, right?

Best.Record.In.Baseball.......unstoppable team...
That’s why no one else cared if there was a strike…

Very true.
No one else had a shot at them, and they knew it. No point in continuing the season…

Yep....I always knew there was an obvious bias.....
TBS rarely showed the Braves in Montreal…. WGN would show White Sox games when the Cubs played the Expos…

Are the baby raccoons crying yet?
Any more late night visits from the babies or the possums?

Well, at least, she's now going after them.
Seems like she was just sleeping through it all before.
She’s working on that perimeter thing. Maybe by next year.

If she could keep them from setting up housekeeping again.....that would be great...
She does pick it up as soon as the face appears through the cat door..

I keep seeing a children's book out of this...
Caitlin and the Baby Raccoons
It’s such an engaging saga.

If it wasn't for this team wasting all my time, I could make a little Disney empire out of the story...
It was cute the other night when little #2 was eating on the platform. I turned on the lights, and she was very reluctant to leave…… She just kept looking at me like I’d let her stay….

We need pictures of these precious little moments. Better than the baseball we're watching.
