The Nats need to show some sack today. Put one right in Jay's back to start the game and then put up a curly number in the bottom of the 1st and roll on from there.
I responded to your post from yesterday and am waiting for your response.

I'm sure it's been posted already, maybe even in this thread. Way too many posts tonight to read through, but this article on DeRosa reading a Teddy Roosevelt speech before the game rocks. Man, if he decides to call it quits after this season since he'll be 38 next year, he's got my vote to replace Porter as third base coach so that we'll keep his leadership, support and encouragement, humor and laughs in the clubhouse. Things like this are how & why teams come together to kick adversity in the ass and win games. F••• yeah, Mark!

It’s game five time
And I’m feeling funky
To hell with all you
Panic monkeys

I’m sick of all these
Woeful and dreary
Party poopers
Calling “series”

Please shut up
And enjoy the ride
Ignite your natitude
Found deep inside

Let’s hear the cheers
And fire up the Nats
Let’s shake the stands
And awaken their bats

It’s been a long
And exciting season
They’ll perform for us
Let’s give them a reason

Rock your red
And “Curly Dubs”
And show all of baseball
We’re the best damn club

Silence those cards fans
With a witty rebuke
And prove to them
That we ain’t a fluke

And when they go home
In that plane that’s flying
Let’s make sure all those nages
Are on there crying

still love the speech in the last movie the best:

Quote
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain't gonna have a life. Don't forget to visit your mother.

I became a democrat after being drafted and spending time in the infantry.     No nuts?    Get some.   :P    Actually, being "Pittsburgher",  democrat came with the turf.   My dad was a union man as were both my grandfathers    I was a union man too when I was a steelworker after being discharged.   Unlike a lot of "liberals", I don't apologize or get nervous when somebody calls me that.   I don't hide behind the flag or the Bible (after 5 draft deferments) and question somebody else's credentials or patriotism or intelligence.    It's who I am and I'm still "cool".

Oh I know  ...  gotta take it and give it.   Thems the rules.   :P    I'm still trying to still the nervous energy from being at the game last night.   I watched MLB hilights of the "hit" 8 or 9 times.    Had to go to the gym to burn some energy and time and it's still only 2 freakin' 30 in the afternoon.

Anywho, moving on.

Since Werth mentioned Capitals games, if I was the Nationals I'd call up the Caps and ask for permission to play this just for tonight late in the game in-between an inning. NHL is so bad on publicity I think they'd be happy to email the clip over;



Not everyone would get it, but enough would for it to be awesome.

I rode the subway to the game last night and sat next to an older (yes older than me LOL) gentleman.   We came to the conclusion that to be a baseball fan, you have to believe.

For the world to see
Now the time is right
To live out all our dreams
Say the words forever
Your strength will never leave
If you want to win the fight
Say, "I Believe"
