The Nats are home for a short homestand against NL East opponents this week. Of course, today is T-Shirt Tuesday, so get to the park early. On Friday, Miller Lite will give away coolers to the first 10,000 adult fans. It will also be the team's first Tweetup of the season. Join Twitter friends at the Miller Lite Scoreboard Walk for just $14: www.nationals.com/tweetup. The popular Pups in the Park promotion returns on Saturday afternoon, welcoming four-legged Nationals fans to come cheer on the team. It's already sold out. Proceeds benefit the Washington Humane Society. Tickets for the August 29th Pups in the Park Day are still available. On Saturday evening, the players, coaches and staff will head over to the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center at National Harbor for the annual Washington Nationals Dream Foundation Gala. Don't forget to bring Mom to the game for Mother's Day on Sunday. Fans receive a giveaway water bottle from Harris Teeter. The team will also honor breast cancer survivors and raise awareness about the disease by using pink bats. I'll have more on Mother's Day festivities later this week. Get your red (and pink) on!
