Indeed...besides the championship the Bullets made a total of four trips to the Finals in the 1970's.Wes Unseld played for the Bullets from 1968-81...the only non-playoff season for the Bullets during that period was his final season (1980-81).
I was sure that Robert Pack was the answer. And I though Jim MacIlvaine was a playoff caliber defensive center. And that Calbert Cheaney would be a great scorer.I was a Bullets Sunshiner.
MASNCUP2:Let's run it back. #MASNCUP2Two teams that are struggling worse than Tiger on the Olympic Club’s first 8 holes resides within the DMV, my beloved Orioles and the Nats. Starting with the Nats-who have dropped 4 straight- but still lead the NL East by 3 games over the Mets. I’m not as worried about them for two simple reasons. #1. Starting pitching. Natstown possess two stoppers in Stephen Strasburg (seeing him w/ Bikechain live tonight in DC) and Gio Gonzalez who can stop any losing streak with 8 shutout innings. #2. The division. Don’t get me wrong, I still think the Phils will be heard from. But the rest of the division’s fanbases-outside of Miami-can do what Oriole/Ravens fans usually do in in Mid-June. Start counting down the days to NFL training camp.Also riding a cold-streak offensively only my home-town Padres could experience is the Orioles. Back to back shutouts by reputable pitchers like Dickey and Santana isn’t going to make me pour all my spiked #orangekoolaid down the drain. Not yet, at least. Winning 2 of 3 in Hotlanta over the weekend got me greedy as they invaded Citi Field. My mistake. I need to remember the motto I’ve been preaching since early April, keep expectations low and you can’t be disappointed. But I still think they are in it for the long haul. Problem is I’m not sure what the “long-haul” is. Is it a above .500 record, which before the season was like Lee Evans actually catching that perfect pass in the AFC Championship? Or is it an actually playoff sweat into Sept? I would bet the latter, but I’m a fanboy, so proceed with caution.This coming weekend though, it’s the MASNCUP2. And nothing against Natstown-as I’ve seen as many games there as OPACY at this point (Thanks K-Rock)-but its time this “rivalry” moves to a real ballpark. Less Ben’s Chili Bowl and more Boog’s Bar-Be-Que. Less concrete jungle, more Eutaw St. And of course, I’ve put my all and important Twitter avi on the line with our boy @Sportsyack again as we run back the series. Plus, it sounds like a sizable DC/VA Nats-crew will be making the trek North to the Charm City, so be nice if you run into them, animals. I’m working on new avi’s for our friends to the South as I type as well as polishing the MASNCUP to bring Saturday night to show off. Only problem for them is that it’s probably going back home on the nubby Lightrail with your boy as the O’s win another BattleoftheBeltways series. Please take a peak at this hilarious video done by Steven Mobley @mobster84 on the Nats and O’s budding rivalry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlORK-aqwhw&feature=plcp.
The ongoing complex Blows fans have regarding their park is hilarious.
Some guy who escaped from prison in North Korea wrote that he used to eat the corn out of cow crap.
The Nationals are unlikely to make any high-profile (read: expensive) international signings today, the opening of the international signing period...Nationals ownership has been hesitant to wade into the international market since the Smiley Gonzalez fiasco, when a Dominican player the Nationals signed for $1.4 million faked his age and identity.
Natitude is not being a whiney nag when we still have the best record in baseball.
Natitude is NOT PANICING and still rooting for your team in good times and bad! NATITUDE IS NOT thinking the season is over when it experiences a small losing streak. NATITUDE IS NOT selling Phillies and Yankees tickets to the enemy fans!
Our lead will hold up ( no matter what happens between LA & ATL tonight ) and we will finish strong.The doomsday believers will be sheepishly apologizing for their lack of faith soon.
Natitude is firebombing Citizens Bank Parks as a service to future generations of baseball fans.
Washington Nationals: The Nationals’ place remains unchanged from my original list. They (still) haven’t acquired another starting pitcher as protection, in advance of the Stephen Strasburg shutdown. The bullpen remains (too) young. The acquisition of Kurt Suzuki from Oakland in early August didn’t exactly move the needle. The Nationals had lost five in a row before Wednesday’s win; they should have added reinforcements when they had the chance.
didn't know where to post it, but morosi didn't like the nats standing pat at the trade deadline:http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/august-trading-period-winners-losers-boston-red-sox-los-angeles-dodgers-082912
