Comments on: Funny Nats Comic Strip http://www.natschat.com/blog/funny-nats-comic-strip/ News and commentary on the Washington Nationals Baseball Team Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:15:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: Steve http://www.natschat.com/blog/funny-nats-comic-strip/#comment-4087 Mon, 28 May 2007 16:21:35 +0000 http://www.natschat.com/blog/funny-nats-comic-strip/#comment-4087 I am the Nats No. 1 fan here in Asheville, NC. Having grown up on the old Washington Senators (both teams) I was ecstatic when D.C. was awarded the team. I was able to see a couple of the Nats - Cubs games on WGN and I saw all 4 of the Cincinnati games on Fox Sports South, and I get to see most of the Nats-Braves games (I hope to get down to Atlanta to see a game or two the end of June. After we lost the Senators the second time, I eventually bacame a huge Oriole fan - it took awhile - but now they're my second favorite team. And going to a game in Camden Yards is an event in itself. When I was able to also go to games at RFK (I used to live just 3 miles from there, prior to moving to Hagerstown 12 years ago) I realized what a dinosaur that park is for baseball. But I was glad it was available so the team would have a place to play. I'm looking forward to the new ball park in 2008 and plan to make a visit to D.C. sometime next spring or summer. We moved from Hagerstown to Asheville just a year ago. I'm gratified to know my old minor league team - the Hagerstown Suns - is now a farm club of the Nationals. The Suns are also in the same league (low A South Atlantic League) as my new favorite minor league team, the Asheville Tourists. I am amazed and saddened at the negativity of many of the blogs I read concerning the Nats, some of its players, baseball in general, etc. I would like to see more positive, insightful, etc. comments that would lift up , rather than tear down. Thanks. S I am the Nats No. 1 fan here in Asheville, NC. Having grown up on the old Washington Senators (both teams) I was ecstatic when D.C. was awarded the team.
