I don't give a freak how you react to the Nationals, whether negative or positive, the result will not be any different. This team is done.

I would say that you are incorrect.

The negative Natitude makes you grumpy at all times.

My positive Natitude allows me to be happy knowing the next game may be a win.

Right, your post don’t scream “I have cold old poop in my pants”.

You seem pretty grumpy on here.

It’s easy to be a fan when they are up by 9 games. It’s hard to be a fan if you have cold old poop in your pants about being 9 games back.

Not taking sides on this one, but there's always something interesting and fun watching a Scherzer start and a Soto at bat.  The season has plenty of disappointment, but if Scherzer is on the mound, there's always a chance at history, and with Soto at the plate, we are watching somebody on the short list of greatest teenage batters ever. 

Now for my typical Red Sox analogy, but it used to be that Pedro was can't miss TV and a happening at the ballpark with the DR flags, the K cards, and other stuff.  Scherzer starts are close to the same way.

Let's deconstruct this:

condescending: when it's deserved but you're not smart enough to figure that out
self-righteous: because I'm always right
prickly: freak you
button-pushing: hey, I get bored
straw-manning: only because I don't understand WAR
adhominem-loving: Oh, how I love to slap a bully upside their head

And the irony of your attacking me with the above condescending, self-righteous, prickly, button-pushing, straw-manning, ad hominem post should not go unnoticed even on you. :rofl:

Are you trying to say you just like watching baseball?

Sherzer reminds me a lot of Black Flag-era Henry Rollins.

I'm hoping they reel off 12 outta 14 or something... but man it's looking very unlikely at this point.

They need a 2017 Indians type run. I wonder if 22 straight wins would get them to first place.... :hysterical:

You're right.

We can't do anything about it.

But why is being a miserable fan better? Has it giving anyone here less heartbreak? Is having the attitude of the season is over help anyone?

imo Baseball is great because of it’s ups and downs. If there were no “downs” it would be very difficult distinguishing between what makes you happy and what makes you miserable???

All that being said, this is a “down” time for me so PLEASE don’t try to take my MISERABLE away. 👿
