1994 - best team in baseball!

[Tyler Durden]

1994 - best team in baseball!

Right!  If they finished that season, we might not even have baseball in DC.  At least not the Ex-Expos.

[Lintyfresh85]

I think I would have rather had an expansion team than the Expos... But mostly, I'm just glad there's MLB baseball back in the area!

[NatsAllThe Way]

I predict tonight Jayson Werth breaks out....

...into hives.  

[nats2playoffs]

Anybody wanna make an avatar bet on any facet of tonight's game?  I'm feeling feisty.

I nearly made this my original avatar here in 2005:



I took the existing one because he's smaller and looks like he's up to something mischievous.


He's left-handed, but I'm right-handed, like the taller avatar.

If you were looking at yourself in the mirror it would be realistic.

Nats - 5 Cubs - 2

[PANatsFan]

The Nats could trade their minor leaguers and make a push for the playoffs this year.  That would qualify as 'any success.'  They could have JZ pitch 220 innings and pick up an extra couple of wins.

[NatsAllThe Way]

What about trading 4 top end prospects for Bartolo Colon again?

[The Chief]

Any other bet-makers for me?

[Smithian]

If our reliever blow a lead, you have to sport this as your avatar;

I want our history to start in 2005. I wish we left the Expos in Montreal.

I am Oklahoma City Thunder country and people, even when the Thunder sucked year one, snickered at the Supersonics and no one now even begins to associate the two. It is safe to say the Supersonics have a better history and reputation than the Expos.

if Werth hits two HRs you have to rename the site to "Jayson Werth Fans Forum" for a day.

[Lintyfresh85]

I actually wrote to Baseball-Reference about them creating a separate Washington Nationals franchise leader board.

Unfortunately that was shot down.

We can only wish.

Go to a Thunder fan tomorow and start telling them stories about Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, Ray Allen, etc and they'll laugh at you and tell you they only care about Kevin Durant, Nick Collison, Serge Ibaka, Russell Westbrook, etc. I'd rather have convos about Zimmerman being the early setter of all the Nationals records instead of how far he is behind Vlad Guerrero or some other guys I've never heard of.

I don't understand the insistence that we pay respect to the Expos. That is no insult to the Expo fans on here, but it is what it is.

[MarquisDeSade]

Serge Ibaka

Lineups are updated.

if Garza is "Money" then isn't Livan "Money Launderer"? 

[Frau Mau]

Fukudome...you know you laughed.

What are you, twelve?

What are you, twelve?

I almost included that! But knew I could count on someone here!

[MarquisDeSade]

Somebody write this damn resume for me and find some idiot to overpay me. 

[houston-nat]

I would feel the same way, except that I'm too busy not working on my resume.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Am I an idiot for thinking Desmond should still be batting 9th?

I suppose I could be an idiot otherwise, even despite being right about how Desmond s/b 9th.  Insert blind squirrel / nut jpg here.

typical finders fee of 30% of your first year's salary, por favor.


Damn, I hope they crush the Cubs tonight, I'm simmering with barely concealed rage right now.
