Baseball Blogmeet

Despite rather dicey weather yesterday, Liz and I went to the Potomac Nationals baseball game. Due to the Milbloggers conference in DC and other's schedule conflicts, we already knew that turnout would be light. Light, in this case, equals zero. Nobody else made it.

Along about the 5th inning, a very light drizzle started. A few umbrellas popped up here and there, but it never got worse than a light rain, and even then it was very brief.

The Nats were losing 4-2 at the top of the ninth when Liz and I decided to head for the car. Although we were taking the chance of missing a potential comeback for the home town boys, the thought of enjoying the fireworks from the comfort (and warmth) of our car in the parking lot was just too tempting to pass up. The fireworks once again were spectacular.

Victor and Nic have proposed June 16th for the Nationals vs. the Frederick Keys - in Frederick, Maryland. We'll have to check our calendar, but I'm almost certain that we'll be there for that one.

1 Hey, you might have better luck rooting for the Sharks!

2 Damn, Ted, I'm sorry to hear that. Believe me, I'd rather have been at that game than in Baltimore (no offense to your one and only true love--I'll tell all later). In all fairness to my one and only, she proposed the Keys/P.Nats game. I have nothing to do with it, unless you count supporting her proposition and driving her to the game as something to do with it.

3 No worries. We've gotten into the regular habit of going to these games this season, so even though it wasn't a group of us, we still had a good time. Someone from the PNats back office visited Liz's blog and left a comment, the concessionaires are starting to recognize us, and we're learning a few of the players.

4 You can start adopting PNats players to go with your rabbits!
Several years ago some friends of ours did become sort of a foster family to a bunch of the Keys. It was before they formalized the program the way they have in Woodbridge. It's been quite a treat for them as the guys moved through the system, since a few made it to the majors, if briefly.
I haven't been to Harry Grove in a few years, so I will try to get up there for a game before the 16th to scope out the accessible seating.

5 I'm looking forward to the game, and to rooting for the "visiting team". I'll be there with rings on my fingers and bells on my wheelchair....Bunny
