Look at my Stuff - I Can't Believe I Pull For These Losers

Baseball arrived in the District of Columbia in the Spring of 2005. I went to the first game of the second home series, thanks to my former place of employment. The Newtster tagged along.

An inning or so into the game, I yelled out "N-A-T-S NATS NATS NATS!" Yes, I know its remarkable similar to the Jets cheer. But people just turned around and stared at me. People, its a baseball game, you're allowed to cheer.

4.5 years later, Nationals fans (all seven of us) still don't know how to cheer.



Also pictured above:
1. Cubs ticket. A friend in Chicago and I went to a game. I believe it was the first start for Mark Prior (or Kerry Wood) coming off an injury. I drank a bunch of beer and was generally amazed at how small the stadium was.
2. A portion of a Nationals vs. Brewers ticket. It says its a day game, but I can't remember skipping out of work that year for a game, considering I didn't really get "hooked" on the Nats until the 2006 season.

Bonus Request: If anyone has that ridiculous video of me cheering at the Nats/Cubs game from 3 years ago, post it now.
