Nationals Management Trying To Ban Phillies Fans From Nationals Park

Since the opening of their stadium and basically because the Nationals flat out suck, Nationals Park has become the Phillies "home away from home"..The Phillies Phaithful has flooded into Washington's ball park over recent years and have outnumbered, outdone, and scared off the home teams fan base...Now, the Nationals management is trying to put that to an end. Starting today (February 3rd) if you try to purchase Phillies@Nationals tickets for the first month the tickets are on sale, you must have a credit card linked to an address inside the District of Columbia, Maryland, or Virginia area.
Wow, now that is really soft. But knowing how devoted the Phillies phan base is, and will remain to be, Phils fans will still find their way into Nationals Park.
If you visit the Nationals website, they have this typed up, in obnoxiously big letters directly on the home page so your eyes cant miss it "Take Back The Park..#OurPark..More Info"
That is pathetic. I guess that is what the Nats organization must do in order to get the devoted fans' attention.
According to foxphily.com this is what Nationals COO Andy Feffer had to say about the situation to the Washington Post:
“Frankly, I was tired of seeing it,” Nats COO Andy Feffer told the Post this week. “Forget you, Philly. This is our park, this is our town, these are our fans, and it’s our time right now.”
Well, Andy. You may want to start putting a winning team on the field because the last time I checked the only time "your park, and your town" was full was when the Yankees, Orioles, or Phillies came through the area to smack your mediocre ball club in the jaw. Secondly, your taking all of our left overs (Brad Lidge, Chad Durbin, Jayson Werth) so have fun with dumping money on them. Quite frankly, although the Washington Nationals are a team on the rise, the NL East is the Phillies division to lose..


It's almost Friday Night, so cheers to a big middle finger to you, Andy Feffer, and the whole Nationals organization.
