May 29, 200521 yr I'm taking Lindsey to her first Braves game on Thursday night in Washington, the only caviat is that she comes with me to my first Marlins game on Friday night in Washington! Anyway, I know our rotation has been more or less shaken up lately, and was wondering if anyone could give me a prediction about who'll be pitching for Florida on Friday night?
May 29, 200521 yr Monday- Al Leiter Tuesday- AJ Burnett Wednesday- Brain Moehler Thursday- Dontrelle Willis Friday- Josh Beckett (5-0 at home this season) So it looks like you'll be taking Lindsey to a great game! :thumbup Have fun!!!
May 29, 200521 yr I was going to go to that game (Friday) with my dad. We were going to leave 1 day early for our trip and stop in Washington to see the Marlins but it didnt work out as we planned... So no Marlins/Nats game for us
May 29, 200521 yr Author I thought it might be Beckett. Awesome. She and I are real excited, we've never been to a major league game before.
May 29, 200521 yr I thought it might be Beckett. Awesome. She and I are real excited, we've never been to a major league game before.788490[/snapback] Really... You guys are going to have so much fun! Where are you guys sitting?
May 29, 200521 yr I thought it might be Beckett. Awesome. She and I are real excited, we've never been to a major league game before. 788490[/snapback] Wow, good luck! She'll have fun, and the Marlins will win so she'll wanna come back! She'll be singing "Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd...etc"
May 29, 200521 yr Author Marlins, she's a Braves fan, we're going to the Atlanta-Washington game on Thursday night, and then the Florida-Washington game on Friday night. It happened to fall together like that, making it really convenient for the two of us to see our favorite teams. Hopefully the Braves will lose and the Marlins will win, making her see the light. Holly, she and I will be sitting in section 470 (outfield lower reserved). I hope those seats will be ok, at least they were cheap. :lol
May 29, 200521 yr I'm going to try to be there, too. I'm shooting for Saturday, too, but I may have to be restrained if Leiter is awful.
May 29, 200521 yr Friday- Josh Beckett (5-0 at home this season) Thanks for the stat! The game is in Washington
May 30, 200521 yr Marlins, she's a Braves fan, we're going to the Atlanta-Washington game on Thursday night, and then the Florida-Washington game on Friday night.

Holly, she and I will be sitting in section 470 (outfield lower reserved). I hope those seats will be ok, at least they were cheap. :lol 788529[/snapback] You're dating a Braves fan??? :o
May 30, 200521 yr Author You'd be dating a Braves fan too if she looked like this Plus, we live in Virginia so it's not like being a Marlins fan can be high up on my priorities for dating.
May 30, 200521 yr The lower outfield reserve seats offer great views, man. One of the few sections without an obstructed view. Only the last 10 feet of the outfield. I don't know if I'll be at Thursday's game, but Friday definitely. May even sneak down to better seats.
May 30, 200521 yr You're a lucky man Dodge. Those seats will be awesome. You and your honey will feel like you're peeking over Encarnacion's left shoulder. You're right in line to catch a Delgado ball that he hits 400 feet just barely foul. Good luck and have fun.
May 30, 200521 yr You'd be dating a Braves fan too if she looked like this Plus, we live in Virginia so it's not like being a Marlins fan can be high up on my priorities for dating. 788553[/snapback] Ok, in that case then I'm sure you're going to be able to get her to convert to "Marlinality".
May 30, 200521 yr Friday- Josh Beckett (5-0 at home this season) Thanks for the stat! The game is in Washington 788538[/snapback] :lol :lol :lol
May 30, 200521 yr Friday- Josh Beckett (5-0 at home this season) Thanks for the stat! The game is in Washington 788538[/snapback] You think he actually knows what happens? He just spews random facts and hopes nobody realizes. He doesn't have the time to read the posts, he has to post and run onto the next one.
May 30, 200521 yr Friday- Josh Beckett (5-0 at home this season) Thanks for the stat! The game is in Washington 788538[/snapback] I was waiting for someone to say that.
May 30, 200521 yr Author One more thing, this might be a stupid question, but do stadiums typically sell the visiting team's merchandise as well? I hope so! :evil
May 30, 200521 yr The Marlins do depending on the team in town, though not as much obviously. You might see a hat or two if anything. You might get lucky with vendors outside the stadium, though. Also, usually stadiums will have one store inside of them that has the hats of all 30 Major League teams, that might be your best bet.
May 30, 200521 yr Author The Nationals aren't doing a lot of promotions this year in RFK, but hopefully I can land some Marlins stuff. Thanks Juanky. :cool
May 30, 200521 yr I'll be at both those games as well. For some reason I thought Dontrelle would be pitching Friday, but oh well I'll take Beckett . Enjoy your first Major League games.
May 31, 200521 yr Don't expct to find any Marlins gear in the stadium or outside. Only Yankees caps. Stop by Sports Authority or Modell's.
May 31, 200521 yr Author My stepdad was at the Cubs-Nats game a few weeks ago and told me there wasn't a bad seat in the house. I really don't care if RFK is a dump, I'm seeing my Marlins. Plus I will probably be up at Citizens Bank Park in July.
