A high five for MASN
Sometimes I don’t send thank you notes out timely. My friends and family are generous and kind, and yet I’m not as dependable as I should be about writing a note, putting a stamp on it, and taking it to the mailbox.
Same goes, it seems, for posting a thank you to recognize MASN for its hospitality. As you may have heard, for the 2nd time in as many years, last week...

What women want-part two
Previously, I requested a win against Johan. I neglected to say thanks for that, so thanks.
Now, about tonight’s game in Philly. You may have heard the joke: Women want good friends, a great job, and the perfect man … and can pick two. (Or possibly, up to two.)
If I have to pick between pitching, hitting, and fielding, I pick better pitching. Please.

What women want
What is it that women really want? Is it friendship, romance, and love? Good friends, a great job, and the perfect man?
How about pitching, hitting, and fielding?
PITCHING-A nod to John Lannan for his first win of the season, and to Matt Capps for his “save,” but Tyler Clippard gets a big Holy Cow! in honor of his amazing hold. Seven strikeouts in 3 IP? Way to...

My First Opening Day
We were all waiting impatiently, with anxious and innocent eyes, to reign in the 2010 baseball season. Sunday night felt like Christmas eve. It was hard to sleep and I just new Santa would bring me a brand new toy (in the shape of a new baseball season) in the morning. Well Santa did not disappoint.
Since the last season, my hubbadub and I moved from 3 blocks north of Nats...

Stand up and take notice
Many of you may know Lisa Pagano, the Washington Nationals Manager of Communications, or maybe you’ve seen her around Nationals Park. Lisa has always been a good friend to We’ve Got Heart, and we think that she is a good person, too. How good a person is she? Well, Lisa has decided to become a candidate in the 2010 Man & Woman of the Year competition held by the...

Scouting report from the other side-Nats v. Mets
Ready to move on from the Phillies series? Taking 1 of 3 games works for me, and I was glad to see the Nationals’ play improve as the series progressed. Maybe we can take 2 of 3 from the Mets?
As we turn to the Mets, I have a little confession. In 2008 and 2009, I had a Mets fan in my season ticket group. In our 2008 ticket draft, Jeff the Mets fan (JTMF) selected as many...

Cheerleaders needed at Nats Park
Say what you will about the Phillies fans – the ones who were obnoxious, the ones who were quite lovely, and the ones who were in between – but you have to acknowledge their ability to cheer for their team (I’m not going to comment on the booing skills shown by some of them). And honestly, when we scored that 1 run, our fans also showed some mad cheering skills that were...

About that pony …
Returning for a moment to the story about the pile of manure, the little boy, and the pony. Boy-oh-boy, the **** is on fire isn’t it! I expect that nearly everyone has seen the comments on what Stan and the Nationals may or may not have done to facilitate (even encourage?) the invasion by Phillies fans. Read about it everywhere: from a source that tends to be a little...

Nationals Claim Chris Coste Off Waivers (3/29)
During yesterday’s opening ceremonies you may have noticed the second player announced has not been in the press much, in fact many Phillies fans sitting near me had no idea Chris Coste was on the Nationals. While this signing is no blockbuster event, it is still noteworthy to mention it.
Coste, 37, was put on waivers by the Mets late in spring training; last year he appeared...

Out of shape for 2010
You all know that I am a baseball fan (Go Nats!), but what you may not know is that the other not really interesting fact about me is that I am a runner, too. I’m not a good one, not by far, but I’ve put in enough miles to have earned the right to call myself a runner. Now, the Nationals have that little thing down there in Viera, FL that they call Spring Training. Sure...

I don’t think many people know about the DC-IBWA just yet — it was created by a few pioneering Washington, DC bloggers who wanted to give more legitimacy to the news that bloggers report on the Washington Nationals to complement the information provided by more traditional sources.
All of the participating blogs had the opportunity to [...]

Happy September NatsTown!
Welcome to September Nats fans!
The Nats know that sometimes being a Nats fan is not the easiest thing in the world. They understand that the fans they do have tend to get a little bit of grief everyone once and a while. For instance, while walking my little chihuahua this evening (I was wearing a [...]

Nats on Saturday
MASN has just reminded me that some people like sports other than baseball! Due to a Ravens/Panthers pre-season football game (what’s football?), there is some shuffling going on at MASN to be able to broadcast the Ravens, the Os, and most importantly, the Nationals all at the same time on Saturday, August 29th.
Looks like [...]

Nats Offense on Fire at Wrigley
After attending the four game Cubbies sweep over the Nationals at the end of July, the start of this series in Chicago is making me a happy girl! The Nats displayed some powerful offense at Wrigley Field winning the game with a final score of 15-6. There was power hitting, fabulous base running, and of [...]

Well, as most of you probably know, The Nationals have done it. They’ve signed their number one draft pick and supposed phenom Stephen Strasburg for a record 15+ million dollars. There were celebrations heard all across NatsTown last night and this morning as many fans believe that having Strasburg on this team can [...]

Oh, that’s what a blog is…
As many of you may have read, the Washington Nationals hosted a Blogger Day a few weeks ago during which we were able to interview several players, one being Adam Dunn. In many of the blogs, Adam was quoted as saying to us, “I don’t even know what a blog is,” which resulted in [...]
