Having kept a close eye on the forecast, I opted for a seat under the protection of the upper deck overhang. So I was able to stay dry during a rain delay in the sixth inning, and ultimately during the game-ending rain delay in the eighth. Before then, the crowd of 40,000 was treated to what would be a Nationals victory over the Mets.
The preseason buzz about the Nationals was that they may not have the best record in their inaugural season, but they would be entertaining. So far, they have exceeded expectations, performing well for their home crowds, and staying close to .500.
Too bad their grounds crew isn't performing as well! Poor tarp management caused a comedy to break out at the ballgame. It took the crew a half-hour to get the tarp on the infield the second time. Their struggles were entertaining to the remaining crowd. Their struggles also ensured that the infield dirt was saturated and unplayable.
