In 5 years, who will be remembered as the '11 Crab/Beer Truck/Bacsik types?
« on: January 04, 2011, 07:30:01 pm »
Wanted to throw this topic out there as a way to inject some fun into the forums... and get some humor running around the boards.

In 5 year, when you dust off the scrapbook of the 2011 Washington Nationals... who do you think you'll remember the most? What players will we never be able to forget... and which guys will we wish never put on a Nats uniform?

To add to that... what player, if any, do you think will do something on/off the field so horrendous that they instantly become part of Nationals fans lore forever?

Will it be plucky pinch hitter Matt Stairs delivering a walk off win when hopes look bleak? Will it be a combustion on the levels of Marquis in '09? Will someone's play be so bad, that Riggleman will be reduced to tears?

What do you think will happen in 2011... I don't need the stats, or the records, what have you... I want to know what you think will happen that will catch on and become part a defining part of what it means to be a fan of the Washington Nationals.

Well, the easy answer to this is Nyjer.  He continues his long decline into full on insanity and comes out to the park one day in full on hockey gear, skates and all, and tries to start a fight - like a hockey fight with the jersey grabbing and one handed punching.  He'll be like Happy Gilmore, but with baseball.

Maybe an epic Livo meltdown?  Maya quits and goes back to Cuba?  Someone else brought up Riggles pulling off a potential nonuple switch.  That would be awesome.

You have to stop posting gems like this.  I can't take laughing like this more than once a week.

Jayson Werth wins the $350MM mega millions and buys the Nats.

Zimm will be the guy we'll never forget, but I hope the breakout star of 2011 is Jordan Zimmermann.  I'm also hopeful that Balestar emerges as our closer before the 2011 season is out.

They guy we'll wish was never in a Nats uniform?  How about Marquis.

Someone doing something horrendous off the field: Hopefully its not Harper.

To be honest I still can't believe Matt Stairs is on this team.

Is it any more ridiculous than Kevin Mench being on the team, or Robert Fick?

Willie Bloomquist.

What does it say about the Nats that there is serious discussion of bringing in two of Dayton Moore's veterans from last year - Ankiel and Bloomquist?

They're going to trade Alberto Gonzalez for Tim Lincecum?

I could say one thing that I hope will be different in 5 years, but I don't want to get any nastygrams.
