The wait is over. It appears that June 8 is the new June 4.
The Nationals issued an announcement stating that their 21-year-old first round pick in 2009 is making his Major League Debut with the Washington Nationals Tuesday June 8 against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Nationals Park.
Strasburg has dominated in minor league play going a combined 6-2 with a 1.43 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings for Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Syracuse.

And the game is already sold out. I tried to get a ticket and failed. :(
You mean Stan Kasten didn’t make sure a Phillies fan got a ticket? Does not compute.
I went to 13 Nats games last year, and most of them didn’t involve the Phillies. :-P
Phil, did you ever snag tix to June 4? I did … and I’m still going :)
I’m in Section 114. And I’m definitely going — it’s MLB…and fireworks night!
