Nationals announce 2011 schedule<\/b><\/a> – nationals.com<\/i>
\nThe 2011 Washington Nationals schedule<\/strong><\/a> was released this evening. Mark your calendars and make your time-off requests for Opening Day on March 31. The Atlanta Braves are in town that day, 3 years and one day after they played a part in one of my favorite moments as a fan — Ryan Zimmerman winning Opening Night at Nationals Park with a walk-off home run<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to hosting a true Opening Day game (as they always should on account of this being the Nation’s Capital) the Nats have home games for all 3 summer holidays:<\/p>\n

Labor Day, May 30 vs. Philadelphia Phillies (beware the invading hoards!)
\nIndependence Day, July 4 vs. Chicago Cubs
\nLabor Day, September 5 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers<\/p>\n

Getting true Opening Day and all 3 holidays is unusual. Opening Day, Memorial Day and July 4 should be written in stone as home dates (the latter is) but Labor Day is a bonus. Frankly, a more blue collar town should probably get that one — not that I am complaining.<\/p>\n

Every weekend in September has two home games (you know after the Redskins start up though maybe not if there is a lockout) and June only has 10 games in D.C. and 13 out west which is not ideal. In fact, all west coast series are in June and July, spread over 3 trips. The AL West is the interleague opponent this year, plus the Chicago White Sox from the AL Central for some reason.<\/p>\n

The cowardly Baltimore Orioles come to town on June 17. Don’t even think of going to the wrong end of the B\/W Parkway on May 20-22.<\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh Pirates series in PNC Park is April 21-23 (probably Blue White Weekend for Penn Staters), so I am sure somebody will have a wedding that weekend or something so I can’t finally see the Nats there. Or collect my Primanti Bros. sammich<\/strong><\/a>. The Pirates come here on two occasions, oddly enough.<\/p>\n

I’ll try to get my Blogger Day update done tomorrow. Oh and good news, the Nats just shutout the Braves with LIVAN! hitting a homer and pitching 8 innings for his 10th win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
