Going to the game tonight. Way curious how the fans greet Harper tonight. I want Chelsea Janes to take note.

I’m at the park. No special treatment for Turner or Harper. They did cheer for Trea’s stolen bases though.

Sounded that way on TV as well. They showed a shot from the first base (lower level) camera when Turner came up. Looked like a standard greeting.

I'm guessing the overwhelming majority of the fans BiL was talking about don't even pay attention to trade deadlines and were not even aware of what was at stake

Nats play the Phillies Aug 21-23 at Nats Park. That series will be for 1st place in the division. My Natitude is ignited.

My Natitude is raging hard. It’s been well over 4 hours...

25 runs tonight, they may get shutout tomorrow.

Yeah, I guess only serious fans were aware, though it was all over the local news. They had local TV reporters at Nats Park from the 6am news for crying out loud.

If your Natitude lasts over four hours, call your doctor...

If the Nats beat Syndergaard with Milone on the mound tomorrow, I’ll really believe. That’s a tall task.

you said you were done with the team several times over the last couple of days

Our faith will be tested. And tested again and again. Many times over.

Many have lost their way. Some are still lost.

Had we lost lost night 4 to 25 instead of winning 25 to 4, these boards would be more active in comparison. Shame.

For those who have found their way back, they need to be ready to welcome those who will eventually find their faith again.

5 back of the WC, picked up games on the dodgers and cards last night.

1. Scherzer. I want prospects, international $$$. The biggest haul ever. We pay remaining years salary. You take the rest.

2. Doolittle
3. Gio
4. Tanner
5. Harper
6. Adams
7. Herrera
8. Kintzler
9. Madson
10. Miller

2 thru 10 Give me lots

11. Grace.
12. Kelley
13. Solis
14. Reynolds
15. Murphy

11 thru 15 get what you can.

16. Zimmerman - We won't be good by the time you are done playing. Go try to get your ring. Extra low prices.

If you gonna sell... FIRE SALE. Anyone who won't be here and in their prime in 2022 must go.

Rendon is offered an extension in the off season. If it's a no, trade during offseason.

Or if you don't wasn't to sell, trade for JT. But the addition of JT is the only thing that will solve the issue with our Nationals. We need a middle of the order hitter. And he is the only middle of the order catcher we can get. Unless you want to get an infielder and sit someone already here.

We are all sinners. I have sinned. I have repented.

Have you ever heard of Scherzer 25:17? The path of the righteous Fan is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil Fans. Blessed is he who, in the name of Natitude and One Pursuit, shepherds the weak through the slump of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost Fans. And I will strike out thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy our Fans. And you will know I am the Scherzer when I lay my vengeance upon you.

REPENT NOW OR EAT CROW LATER!!!

It's not too late WNFF. Come back from the darkness and embrace the light.

Just win tonight. Syndegaard is pitching.

mixedmutt · « **Reply #98:** August 01, 2018, 09:57:00 AM »

Seriously, Rizzo done freaked up. Did nothing to improve the team, but more importantly, if he had gone all in on selling we wouldn't have had to do a true rebuild, just retooled and brought in some youth, could have been back in the mix by 2020 if we didn't just completely waste all the human capital on the field...now its just going to be a slow decline with no end in sight.

catocony · « **Reply #99:** August 01, 2018, 02:57:13 PM »

The Nats have won every game that Tommy Milone has ever started for them (7-0). That's weird, especially almost 7 years between starts.
