Zimmerman's walk-off lifts Nats: "Ryan Zimmerman's two-run home run in the ninth inning lifted the Nationals over the Yankees, 3-2, in front of a sellout crowd of 45,157 fans on Sunday. It was the largest single-game crowd in RFK history."
Yankees left their Wang in too long at RFK. "When you don't pull your Wang out soon enough that is when mistakes happen." (Kristin Lupton making an observation that starting pitcher Chien-Ming Wang stayed in the game a bit too long)
An awesome weekend for Nationals fans!!! I may have to recant my last post. Although I was surrounded by Yankees fans during tailgating and at the game, I did get to high-five random Nats fans. With a late rally on Saturday and a walk off homerun there was deffenitely a lot to cheer about. The fans were awesome... everyone refused to let the Yank fans take over with loud "Johnny" chants and "Lets go Yankees". Yakee supporters were either, rightfully, booed or taken over by "Lets go Nats" chants. Both Saturday and Sunday were by far the most exciting games I have ever attended. I now of visions of an exciting and beautifully constructed Southeast waterfront, complete with a new National's Stadium. The plans for the new stadium look awesome, and hopefully by 2008 we'll have a contending team and just as important a loyal fan base there to propel the players to a post season.
Now if this support can only be carried over to the games in which the Nats play the Devil Rays, Marlins, and less popular teams.
