Watching Monday's game vs. the Phillies was frustrating for two reasons. One, the Nats failed to hold onto a lead once again, and two, Phillies fans far outnumbered Nats fans. I understand that the Phillies are a popular team because they are recent World Series champs and they are a NL East powerhouse, but time after time, they invade Nationals Park and take away much of the home field advantage that should be enjoyed by the Nats and transfer it to the Phillies. The Phils had the momentum for most of the game and took full advantage of it.
We can't sit at home as Nationals fans and complain about the team's poor performance when we won't do our part. I know that not everyone has the time to go to every single game, but all Nats fans should make an effort to go to at least two or three games every year. Today was a perfect opportunity to bring the family out to the ballpark and watch a baseball game. Try and make it a family tradition to go to a couple of Sunday day games each year. Trust me, with increased fan support, our boys will be able to carry some momentum, and maybe they will even start getting some hits with runners in scoring position. Here's to being the best fans in baseball....go Nats.
