We weren’t able to catch Teddy Roosevelt partying in Georgetown this weekend to promote Miller Lite Party Nights, but we do think the promotion is a great idea. On Fridays, for the rest of the season, fans can get a special ticket to the Miller Lite Party for just $25. The ticket includes a seat in the scoreboard pavillion, a voucher for a beer, and a pre-game party at 6 with live music and prizes. After Friday games, fans are always treated to a fireworks display. To buy Miller Lite Party Night tickets, click here. This Friday is also U.S. Coast Guard Appreciation Night. Discounted tickets for members of the military are available here.
If you’re coming out to watch Ken Griffey Jr. this weekend, you may be interested in the Weekender Promotion. The ticket package includes 5 weekend home games of your choice with a complimentary Diamond Club ticket for the last home game.
This weekend the Nats will play Rookie of the Year following Saturday’s game against the Reds. The team will also be collecting Back to School donations at the gates before each game:
On these days, the First Ladies will be present at all gates to collect school supplies and new books from fans. Fans can donate backpacks, pens, pencils, notebooks, and books as well as other necessary supplies for the classroom, which will then be donated to a school or agency in need.
As always, tomorrow’s game against the Phillies is t-shirt Tuesday. On Sunday, the Nats will host the first Gospel Fest Celebration Day,
…a family oriented musical event that will showcase song selections performed by Community of Hope A.M.E. Church, St. Marks United Methodist Church, Reid Temple A.M.E. Church, and Ebenezer A.M.E. Church under the direction of Minister of Music, Byron Cage, and other gospel performances! This post-game event is free complimentary to all ticketed fans attending the game and will take place inside Nationals Park immediately following the game.
Additionally, this year’s second Ladies Night is fast approaching. The next one is August 14 against the Mets. It will feature Comedienne Erin Jackson, as well as the Savvy Girls of Summer. Buy your ticket here.

Nats.com has a link to an interview with Joel Hanrahan. It’s kind of bland, but the first paragraph is priceless:
“Last week, our manager, Manny Acta, announced I was going to be the closer for now. It’s a position that I want to be in. Unfortunately, since the decision was made, we just haven’t had any save opportunities. It’s been seven days, and I’m a little anxious.”
Get used to it Joel. At least you won’t blow many this year!
