The Nats Thread

Nice to see Papelbon is still a jerk.  I'll be there tomorrow looking for the sweep.

I was at the game yesterday....more Orioles fans than Nats fans
man...what was Papelbon thinking?

I think Matt Williams is going to get the ax....

[StoneTheCrow]

I was there too. Lots of Orange for sure.

Papelbon is just awful. I'd hate to have him on my team.

Wonder if there will be any retaliation.  I hope not.  O's should take the classy approach.

Papelbon is just awful.

I know.  It's unbelievable that he missed Machado with the first two pitches.

Even though this has been a disappointing season, it was the season where my youngest son discovered he loves baseball so in the past month, we've been to 8 games. The beauty is that we rarely pay more than $15 per ticket and we're able to bike to the park in about 15 minutes. It was a great year for bonding with him at games. Dude is obsessed with Jayson Werth.

Since Harper already predicted his plunking, I'd throw a ridiculously slow breaking ball for a strike and laugh along with everyone else who were anticipating a high and tight fastball.

Then I'd hit him so f'in hard in the lower back with a fastball and wipe my hand on my pants like it got away from me.

Man, talk about some bad luck in that series. Hell of a season series for the Nats and O's. Super fun games to watch as a baseball fan, totally baffling to watch as a Nats fan. I feel bad for Yunel and Bryce because they've been busting their humps all season for this team. Wish we could have had the full line up healthy all year and that when the injured guys came back they could have heated up a bit quicker. Disappointing way to be going out this season though. Could have gained a game or 2 on the Mets. Sheesh.

Harper I don't believe got a hit the whole series against the O's....

[vansmack]

Hahaha hahaha..... My Papelboner is through the roof right now!

Way to go MVP.

Way to go Papelbon.

Way to go GM.

Way to go Williams.

Highly entertaining season...

Absolutely slays me....
