Half the stadium was filled with Phillies fans for the Nats opening ball game today. That's the way to support your home team on opening day. Oh Yeah Phillies 11 Nats 1....
Nice opening day Nats fans.

The answer to this outrage (read:
) is in your last sentence.Perhaps if they got one good season they might establish a fanbase. Until then, they have showed diddly squat. Sorry.

I bet if the Nats were winning that stadium would have been full of Washington Nats fans. Heck look at the verizon center now full to the rim every game. Just proves my point.Yay! Basebore is back!

I bet the BlueCrabs could give the Nats a game of it.

Perhaps they're going for a comedy routine.Especially when they lose 11-1.
Worked wonders for the Skins last season.

I would have gone to opening day but MLB screwed the team, and me, by scheduling the Phillies as the opponent. There probably would have been a more favorable home team fan base if the opposing team wasn't just a couple hours' drive away. There weren't any seats available when it dawned on me that I could sneak off to the park for the game.
On the plus side, a full house is a full house, doesn't matter what shirts those ticket buyers are wearing. There'll be plenty of opportunities to see the team, whose chances at being better than .500 are pretty good this season IMHO, during the course of the summer. I just won't go when the Phillies are in town.

There was a great passage in today's WaPo about something one of the Lerners said about all the Phillies fans in the seats.
"Washington is America's city and the Nationals shoud be America's team."
The author of the article had this in reply:
"America already has a team. They win in November and lose in January."

Thats right, alot of people complained about all the Philly fans, but heck a full house pays the bills for the Lerners.Im thinking along the same lines that the Nats will have a chance at .500 this season, they signed several players that are alot better then what they had, especially in the bullpen and Ian Desmond looks to be pretty good, boy he smacked that homer last night proably about 420 ft to center. The Nats do have a very tough first 40 games this year, almost all against teams that were above 500 and in the playoffs last year. They come out of those games with a pretty decent record and things could look good.

The Phillies fan invasion was orchestrated by the Nationals - Big League Stew - MLB Blog - Yahoo! Sports
The lack of nats fans wasn't because the team sucks - its because the head honchos pretty much set it up to be that way.

Basically our fans suck lets fill the stands with another red team to make it look like it's full of WASINGTON NATS fans.

What's your point? They're filling the stadium, collecting revenue, building a team. Smart marketing while building the team and fan base.

The Nats beat the Phillies today.
Gasp!
What will Philly do now?
