First Game of the Year

I went to the game last Thursday, down in DC. I understand that for the first 2 games of the series the crowd was more Phillies fans than Nationals fans.  In terms of loudness, Philly fans may have won, but in numbers there were probably more Nats fans for this 4:30pm start time game.  The weather was supposed to be bad, but it ended up being great and it didn't rain until probably 45 minutes after the game had ended.  Snuck down way lower than we were supposed to be sitting and greatly enjoyed the game, despite the fact that the Phillies lost.  Kyle Kendrick didn't look to good and the hitting wasn't the same as it had been the other games so far this season, but overall nothing too bad to complain about.  Congrats to the Nationals on their first win of the season and you could tell the fans were desperate for it, they actually got louder than the Phillies fan after the final out of the game.  Good luck to them and I hope they do better than the Mets and beat up on the rest of the NL East.  I won't be back in Philly until at least late May so this was one of my few opportunities to see the Phils in action.  Now its time to catch some cheap Orioles games.
