Just enjoy him while we have him, guys. Once he gets up here and probably even to AAA, this stuff will be put to an end. (though it should have already)

RT @BHarper3407: I love my Nationals, but if I'm going to root for a team in the post-season its going to be the Yanks!

I'm starting to like him less and less.

Well, I was rooting for the Rays and that doesn't make me a bad Nats fan, right?

(Now I'm rooting for the Rangers.)

Get used to disappointment, Bryce.

With the clarification and knowing he's was a Yankees fan before he was drafted, I don't really have a huge problem with what he said. A little more discretion would be nice, but it's probably not that big of a deal. When he starts hitting lasers like Cano just did, we'll all like him just fine. Just enjoy him while he's here and the rest will work out how it works out.

too bad it is not haiku.

Bryce - disappointment.
You will get some in your life.
Your Yankees will fail.

Is one of you Larry Lyon?

Quote from: Larry Lyon

@BHarper3407 Bryce, I am a huge Nats' fan. I also hate the Yankees. How about you take the Nats to the WS and beat The Yankees. Deal?

Quote from: Bryce Harper

@LarryLyon Deal!

this.

as long as he stops being a fan when he steps on the field, I'm cool.

He can root for whoever he wants, it isn't .like the Nats are in the playoffs.

much ado about nothing.

It would be nice to forget that he's going to end up in pin stripes before he even hits his prime

We've got a long time before we'll have to deal with that bridge. I'm gonna just enjoy however long it is that he's in DC and hope his time here and the Lerner's pocketbook changes his mind.

This! Can i remind everyone what happened last March?

Quote

TAMPA, Fla. -- Lest there be any confusion about Bryce Harper's ultimate rooting interests, he clarified them on Saturday.

Harper arrived here to George M. Steinbrenner Field to play against the team he grew up rooting for, the New York Yankees. Asked if he took the opportunity to fraternize with some of the Yanks' big names -- guys like CC Sabathia, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter -- before the game, Harper almost looked offended at the suggestion.

"I'm trying to beat 'em," Harper said. "That's what I am. If we're off the field, I'll go say hello. You can be my best friend off the field, and I'll hate you on the field. That's how I am."
