LATEST STORIES FROM JUST A NATS FAN

Italy 6 Nationals 9 Exhibition

[Photoset] The game started out easy enough and coasted for several innings. I heard some fans complain it was boring — but when you’re winning, nothing wrong with that! In fact, I could hear what every fan was saying. I would guess there weren’t more than a couple...

For you night owls

It is spring training! [Photoset] I?ll get a full post up in the morning. I?m so frustrated with the WiFi here and how long it took (and how many attempts) to get the photos up that I?m done for the night! Nats win (barely) over the Italy WBC team in an exhibition. But yay! A game!

This is not Adam Dunn

This is Brad Eldred obligingly signing autographs for kids behind Space Coast Stadium after the game while some players were in the batting cage further back. Of course, those kids didn

T-Minus 2 Hours

The first Nationals spring training game begins in two hours (as of the beginning of this writing) and I am more than ready! The image is hard to see, but the game info is scrolling across the bottom of my XM radio just waiting til 1:00. Sadly, it won?t be Charlie and Dave in my [...]

Is it Thursday yet?

My head is swimming with all the investigation talk and I?m pretty sure it?s not this horrid sinus thing I have going on, so I?m going to ignore the elephant in the room for now. I?m not sure what to make of the game of ?telephone? sweeping through the media at the moment (story keeps ...

Discarded Peanut Shells - what’s up?

I guess I should start cranking posts out again soon now that the Bog has upped the ante (and has left Florida, so the production will likely slow down once he runs out of material). Boy was that fun ? at least for us readers! Imagine if he?d gone next week with more players in [...]

Fick-talian?!

I spent yesterday morning planning our spring training jaunt to Florida for the first week of March. We didn?t really have much choice on the date while working around our timeshare schedule limitations. This will be the first time we?ve used a timeshare - and not even at the resort we were ...

Spring is in the air!

Can you smell it? All it takes is a little imagination and visualization (lucky for me since I have a cold). Freshly mowed grass, the chatter of players reuniting and meeting new additions, the crack of bats (on golf balls?), healthy optimism? Media converging on growing Viera, Florida for the ...

[Photoset] Last Sunday, the Potomac Nationals held their 14th annual Hot Stove Banquet and Silent Auction. You can read more about it from other bloggers in attendance at Nats 320 and MASN. I hope to have some video eventually like I did last year, but I?m leaving for the tropics...

Hundreds to the power of 2

[Photoset] Ah, the benefit of getting busy and delaying a new post is that you get to see what others are saying about the inaugural NatsFest before getting down to it! Hundreds? I bet there are hundreds in this autograph line alone! Even the line to get in the gates was rather impressive half ...

Yes, I was there!

At the inaugural NatsFest, of course! It was very cool and had a much higher turnout than I expected, which was nice to see. Yes, I have photos. But you have to wait til tomorrow :-) I’m pooped! Just got back from the Potomac Nationals Hot Stove Banquet that I raced to immediately...

That’s Chat’s Nats : 01-24-09 Man Caves

Believe it or not, I had the idea for this before I learned that Joel Hanrahan's brother Mark was having a spread done in the Des Moines Register's "Juice" Magazine on his "Man Cave" (or Manctuary as he calls it). But it did give me more chit-chat fodder...

Caravan-ing at the Pfitz

[Photoset] Wowee, it was cold out this morning! Definitely way colder down in Woodbridge, VA than it seemed to be when I left my house. I stood in line with fellow fans for about 45 minutes with tears rolling down my cheeks in the gusts of wind, my nose running, and wishing I

The feeling is coming back in my tongue

[Photoset] Whew, that Garrett Mock likes to cook southern Cajun style! I should have thought carefully before eagerly jumping on board the judging bandwagon. I mean - athletes? can they really cook an edible meal? And those slippery suckers of noodles - would one slither down my chin in front ...

I found Martinsburg, WV!

But only after my GPS played a little joke on me. And hey, there was a wee bit of snow on the ground there! I thought I?d have time to play stereo-typical female and shop, but alas, that didn?t work out. So to kick of the Nationals Winter Tour ?09, closer Joel Hanrahan, manager Manny [...]

Syracuse Chiefs Hot Stove Dinner

I really wanted to make the trip to Syracuse, NY for the hot stove dinner of the Nats? new AAA affilliate, the Syracuse Chiefs. However, I had more important things to do like memorize lyrics and practice five ABBA karaoke songs for my upcoming cruise. Nah, not really. Well, I *did...
