Nationals vs Phillies, Game 1

[The Chief]

+1 ...  It almost read as Chiefish.

huh? ssb is far more eloquent than I

Don't be so humble.   You and SSB are the two best IMHO.   Usually, cool and calm analysis.

[The Chief]

If you insist.  I'm a pretty big jerk sometimes, just ask... well anyone who's been around for a while

Doesn't mean you can't be a cool calm jerk

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I usually go to SF for calm, reasoned analysis.

On their faces they wear silly smirks
Cause they know I'm the king of the Cool Jerks

OOOOH Cool Jerk,Cool Jerk,Cool Jerk ,ha ha ha
Look at them guys lookin' at me like I'm a fool
But aww, deep down inside they know I'm cool

1966  ... remember it well

Only one way to shut those lot up - winning - and today it almost worked.

It's going to take a LOT of winning to keep the Phillies fans out of Citizens Bank Park South.  Does anyone in the DC Vortex do bus tours for out-of-town games for the Nasty Nats?  The Phillies fans don't just show up for out-of-town games they tour in style, treat the games like an NFL game with coordinated tailgating and are a vocal group (and not just of the vulgar variety).  When was the last time the Global Village Park had a player chant going on?  Or "Let's Go Nats"?  If the scoreboard wasn't there to tell the Hill folks, lobbyists and baseball starved old farts to clap it'd be silent.  If I could I would shove the lame ass subhorn straight up Andrew Fluffer/Feffers keister. 

Until some serious, serious changes take place down at South Capital Street I don't see that ever happening for the Nats.  I get that DC is a Foreskinz town but, and I could be speaking for myself here, it's getting depressing watching this team for another year look like the doormat of the NL East.  

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

FWIW, 38,000 of us took over Heinz Field on New Years Day.

...but this has to have been the largest opposition turn-out ever, in proportionate terms - 34,789 announced attendance and something like 2/3 Phillies supporters.

This is precisely what will motivate the Lerners to continue milking this cash cow while we are subjected to a woeful team.

[Once an Expos Fan]

I decided to drop 120 on MLB TV for the season after a promising April. I thought this crap was behind us, sigh.

So, around 60%?  Today it was 95% Phillies fan and 5% suckers.  Almost as bad as that Sept 2010 game where they were popping the bubbly on our field after clinching the NL East.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

The Phillies should have to play in empty stadiums like Italian footie teams do after their skinhead fans have lit a few too many police on fire.

Personally a think a fate similar to the Jacksonville Jaguars would be more ideal.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

The two best closing days were Maxwell's walk-off slam (#2) and year one, where (despite being swept by the Filthies) we were able to scoreboard root for the Astros over the Cubs to the great consternation of all nearby enemy fans.  I had several crying girls in Phillies crap call me an jerk, which warmed my heart.  They probably cried all the way back to Madhatters and then got sozzled on RbVs.

Now, now, don't go making fun of my former favourite drinking hole.  Next you're going to be trash talking Recessions and their gay bar strong drinks and all-you-can-drink specials.

I don't even know what an RbV is, but I don't like to drink things mixed with other things. Sometimes a splash of water in my whiskey is permissible.

Red Bull and Vodka.  The only mixes I enjoy are of the speedball variety.

Mixed drinks were invented during prohibition because the liquor tasted terrible. Good stuff does not need to be mixed.

[KingJeremy]

He gone.

Did you see or guess?

I just thought Linty was having a Hawk Harrelson moment

[Lintyfresh85]

Never.

[cmdterps44]

0-2 at nats games this year... and both were Roy Halladay games. Excellent!

Thanks for the history lesson, I'll remember that the next time I'm drinking vodka or Everclear straight up and wondering why it burns.  Again, the only mix I've enjoyed is of the speedball variety.

Now, back to Madhadders, I "got to know" a couple of personality less hot bodies there back when in the day.  Great place, if you're looking to bang Hill interns from Nebraska.

[Minty Fresh]

If you insist.  I'm a pretty big jerk sometimes, just ask... well anyone who's been around for a while

Yeah.  You suck.
