Please.  You guys have been disappointed since 2005.  Us Baltimore Orioles fans have been disappointed since 1983 (or 1996).

Sorry about Strasburg though.  Good pitcher...

I would kill for a season anywhere close to '97.

'til december?  why december?

are you referring to the post-season?  if so, it's not like strasburg was the team's ticket to the post-season... he was more like their shot at a .500 season.

Til December - likely the end of Skins season
Til May - last 2 times the Caps seasons have ended....pre-maturely.

Yeah, we've been disappointing since 2005, so? I'm just saying Strassy is a huge positive beam for the team to build around and now he's out for 12-18!? Ridiculous! I'm not saying we would even have a record above .500, but still it's a pretty big blow to the team.

This will give the Nats a little time to construct a team around him for when he gets back.  Lets stay postive!

Maybe Bryce Harper will give Nats fans a little hope...

Go find yourself on the business end of a robbery gone bad.

but a robbery gone bad could just result in the robber running away . . . so you want jeffml to go find himself, then run away?

The term "robbery gone bad" is only used when someone dies during the course of a robbery, idiot.

actually, anything can mean anything, seeing how nothing means the same thing twice to two different people.  as in "idiot" can mean someone who is stupid . . . or in my case, i guess someone who doesn't respond with an insult.

I accept the original insult as written.  Carry on.
