About a year ago we set a 'goal' to make sure and see a game for each of the DC teams. We got to Caps (hockey) game this past winter, and a United (soccer) game this summer. We were running out of time to make it to a Nationals game until Stu's good work friend, Mike, and his fiance, Amanda invited us to the last home game of the season. Seeing as the Nats didn't do the greatest this year AND they were playing the Mets, who had a sub-par season... there wasn't that great of turn out, but it was great to get to "Nats-town" none the less.
The Nats were down the whole game, but in true American fasion we enjoyed some beer & Nats-dogs which helped.
It was a bit rainy right when we got there which made us all happy we were up under the eve shelter. Good bird's eye view too. The new stadium is great, and has a nice view over DC/ Georgetown.
The Nats decided to end their season in a dramatic fashion.... Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, bases loaded, Justin Zimmerman hit a Grand-Slam to win it 7-4. Yaaaay! What a fun ending! Although a bit chilly, it was definitely a great game to catch!
