TC Road Trip at Nationals Ballpark/Camden?

PrintI saw in last nights game thread that people were thinking of coming up to DC to catch a game or two. I live in Fairfax, VA and was wondering when you were planning on coming up. I know they are in town next week (Apr 20-22) and July 3-5 for the Nats and June 12-14 for the O's. I'm guessing July... It'd be nice to setup a lil TC cheering section there.

A couple of us
Have debated on Baltimore’s June series. No real ideas of Nationals Park, though. It’s harder to be an ass at the park of a division rival, and expect to get away with it.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I've seen
more braves fans at Nationals Park than Nat’s fans. Trust me its easier to get away with being an ass there then say CitiField or the bank.
Very true
But a Nationals game just doesn’t sound as interesting as an interleague game against the Orioles.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Except
For the fact that it’s in Baltimore, Maryland
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
ummm
I live in Maryland currently (not from here tho) and I can say definitively that Washington is a shit hole compared to Baltimore. Hell, I’d take Baltimore over Atlanta too (which is also a shit hole).
Take my opinion as someone from NOVA who grew up ingrained with the hatred for Maryland as all NOVA-ians do.
That being said, take away the Inner Harbor district, and Baltimore is a cesspool that metaphorically can’t wipe the sweat off the balls of Washington or Atlanta. And that’s pretty bad, considering how second-rate Washington and Atlanta can be some times.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I completely disagree
I hate washington…outside of the national mall, it’s a scary, worthless town. Baltimore has relatively good parts of it and there is stuff to do. Washington has things to do too, but you go there hoping you dont get raped or shot.
And I just hate Atlanta. Traffic is horrible and public transportation is a joke. I grew up a couple of hours away from Atlanta and pretty much refused to go there.
My last words on this
The whole raped or shot joke applies 100% to Baltimore, if not more. I’ve known people who have been hospitalized by thugs in Baltimore, and I can’t say the same about DC. I’d agree that there are things to do in Baltimore, but usually I’d look around, and realize that I was in Columbia or Glen Burnie instead.
Atlanta’s not perfect, but what it holds over Baltimore is that it’s smaller. If you don’t like the town or fear for your life, it’s not hard stretch to get out. The traffic problem applies in Baltimore too, and infurated drivers often bitch about the arbitrary toll that sits in the middle of I-95 right in the middle of the city. And I hate to break it to you, but the public transportation in Baltimore isn’t that much better, except for the fact that the Brunswick and Camden lines takes you out of Baltimore.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
So, other than the national mall there’s nothing to do in Washington? That makes me wonder if you’ve ever actually been there for an extended period of time. If not, you probably shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions.
Also…have you seen The Wire? There’s a reason it was placed in Baltimore, the crime there is just as bad as DC.
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.

Baltimore > DC because of Charm City Cakes, everybody knows that!
As much as we love it, baseball is just a game. Rest In Peace Nick Adenhart.
well, every city has bad parts and crime. i didnt mean to imply that baltimore was immune to such things.
In my experience, i have always found washington to be boring and dull. And while I have lived in a few different parts of the country in my short life, including one largish city, i have only ever felt uncomfortable while being in washington. And it has happened on several occassions there (actually, it always happens there…ive never felt safe there). I however, cant say the same about baltimore or other major cities (that i’ve been to).
The only city I have ever felt uncomfortable in was Fargo, North Dakota. There are too many white people there. Crazy thing is that I think that and I am white myself.
As much as we love it, baseball is just a game. Rest In Peace Nick Adenhart.
That’s how I feel in NOVA.

That's funny
In retrospect, I look at where I live now, compared to NOVA, and I think NOVA’s like the UN up there. Atlanta’s population is predominantly Caucasian and African-American, with little exception. You can look at all the demographic numbers you want, but unless you’re hanging around Georgia Tech, or in Gwinnett County, you’re not seeing many minorities.
Any time I get off a plane in Dulles or BWI, it’s almost like I’ve landed in a different country, based on the diversity I see up there. And that’s just the airport alone. NOVA is quite a mixing bowl these days, with heavy Asian and Middle Eastern populations, compared to ROVA.

I lived near Baltimore and traveled to DC very often…and I believe you have them both mixed up. Everything you said about Ballmer holds true for DC, and vice versa.

The Camden trip is definitely happening. The Nats series next weekend is out of the question for me, though. I’d love to go the weekend of the 4th, but yeah…nation’s capital on Independence Day? No thanks.

Oh man, July 4th in DC is awesome. I know its not for everyone and you DEFINITELY don’t want to drive, but I really enjoyed it there the two times I went.

Growing up in NOVA, you become desensitized to all things like July 4ths and inaugurations. They’re bigger pains in the asses than tourists think.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Oh, very true. I grew up outside of Baltimore so I don’t have as much understanding as someone growing up in NOVA, but I guess I just geek out about historical stuff and ‘momentous occasions’ and the like.

I'm from CT
so 4th of July in NYC makes me desensitized to anything. I just stayed away from DC on Inauguration day.
Maybe I am dumb, but what does Nova stand for? That is what I call Villanova for short, but I doubt you grew up at the college.

Northern Virginia, the 51st state of the United States
ROVA stands for the Rest Of Virginia, which doesn’t really matter to anyone but like cbwilk.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I had to stop at a rest area somewhere in southwestern ROVA, and on the wall graffiti there were the words “KKK is still here”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I was driving to Charlotte
and I stopped off 77 somewhere in SW ROVA and I was still in my work clothes (Dress shirt with black pants) and I got the death stare from about everyone at the gas station/rest stop/ wendys that I stopped at.
Turrible
What a turrible, turrible place it is, that ROVA

Wow, had no idea that ROVA was a term. Guess that just goes to show how weird and elitist folks from NOVA are.

Didn’t even realize the game I had tickets to already was July 4th…that’s going to be a debacle…

I was planning on going for the Saturday game, and possible for the Sunday game.

This might be a cool fanshot/poll question, to get an idea of where people are living. I know there are a lot of fans that live outside of the southeast; it would be neat to see exactly where the TC faithful reside.

My uncle has season tix with the Nats, so I normally just use his seats whenever the Braves are in town. So far I’m going to the games on 7/4 and 9/26, but I’d be willing to meet up with people if a group was going to any of the other games those weekends.

Chances are it’s going to be really bad. A sweet Storm Shadow vs. Snake Eyes fight could be the saving grace.
Any reason why they don’t have Destro with his silver/gold head?

No clue why they don’t have the silver head. Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander, WTF!

More visual evidence to support the flop
See Cobra Commander:
And the Cobra Commander Twitter had the follow response to said character: “Its like a school of Jelly Fish gangbanged a Dyson vaccum whilst wearing a cape to hide its shame”
…do the executives who green light this shit know that they’re crushing my dreams?
First Michael Bay includes a constructicon in the first Transformers movies, kills him off immediately, yet someone plans to include Devastator in the sequel. Then Deadpool is completely ruined in the upcoming Wolverine movies. And now this…

That was my initial reaction, but that is infact the new Cobra Commander. Personally this is more fitting:
Better than the KKK hood.
Oh, I know he is the new Cobra Commander. I should have said why the fuck does he look like that!?

It’s directed by the dude who did The Mummy, right? That’s not a good sign. Cool avatar though, I’ve been wondering what the hell it is.
They just released 3 new story arcs for GI Joe in comic form. Not bad from what I’ve read so far.

Yeah, that’s a good one…there’s two others around the area that I’m trying to find too.

Thank you much. I’ll have to hit them up this weekend. I have some of the old marvel ones laying around somewhere. I’ve also got all the tv shows on my computer (gotta love torrents) including the later more cheesier ones as well.
Here you go:
Nova Comics
Big Planet Comics
EG Comics
