POLL: UPDATED: Bryce's team in 2019 will be.....

[JCA-CrystalCity]

The Bard of WNFF is back

This news really bums me out. I’m not a longtime baseball fan like a lot of you. I started watching his rookie year because I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I became a huge fan, and a big part of that was him. I have to think he has had that effect on many others as well. It’s going to sting a little to see him in anything other than a Nats uniform. That being said, I left work and hit the whiskey, and decided to write a song. To the tune of “Bye Bye Bye” by *Nsync.

Do another one to the tune of American Pie

[Copecwby20]

Do another one to the tune of American Pie

Bye Bye, Oh Perfect Haired Bryce
Took the metro to the city, and let out a cry
We good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Saying we should have kept Harper in right

[Copecwby20]

Do another one to the tune of American Pie

Actually. That has promise. Give me an hour.

[UMDNats]

We're not going anywhere with Difo at 2B. He can't hit, is a mediocre fielder and has the knack of getting picked off base at the worst possible moment.

I agree but think he'll be the OD 2B.

[Natsinpwc]

I agree but think he'll be the OD 2B.

It will work better with catchers who can actually hit.  And a day or two a week from kendrick.  And hopefully a full year of healthy Adam Eaton. Can live with one black hole in the lineup. Last year they had several and especially the first half of the year. Harper. Taylor. Wieters and the other catchers. Difo.

[Natsinpwc]

Lerners offer by the side of the road with the lorries rolling by.
Nats Park sinking from the weight of the load and the parking garage scrapes the sky.

Don’t let it bring you down.
It’s only Harper leaving.
So find someone who’s staying.
And you will come around.

Neil Young.

[UMDNats]

I think we can take a flyer on a 2B in late Jan and hope that we get lucky with Kendrick.

[Expos]

We will br adding a 2B to start.

Marwin Gonzalez would fit great

[Copecwby20]

That’s a long ass song, here’s what I have so far.

A long long time ago,

I can still remember how

that player used to make me smile

 

And I knew he had a hitter’s chance

To make that whole park dance

When he hit baseballs for a mile

 

But the winter meetings made me shiver

With the news Mark Lerner delivered

Bad news on the internet

Enough to make my eyes wet

 

I can tell you that I cried

And part of me was dead inside

For 300 million, at least we tried

The day his contract died

 

So,

 

Bye Bye, Oh perfect haired Bryce

Took the metro to the city and I let out a cry

I stood in the park drinking whiskey on ice

Saying we should have kept Harper in right

We should have kept Harper in right

 

Did you see him flash that glove

In a city full of love

Nats Fans will tell you so

Do you remember Harper’s Hustle

Losing helmets on a double

Watch that bat flip real slow

 

We were all in love with him

Crushing weights in the player’s gym

He had those Under Armour Shoes

Man he looked great in National’s Blues

 

There was a time I wasn’t a fan of ball

Until the rookie phenom got the call

But I knew I lost it all

The day his contract died

 

I started singing

 

Bye Bye, Oh perfect haired Bryce

Took the metro to the city and I let out a cry

I stood in the park drinking whiskey on ice

Saying we should have kept Harper in right

We should have kept Harper in right

 

I know we’ll be fine when he goes

We’ve got Victor Robles and Juan Soto

But Harper won’t be there anymore

 

Remember all the Nats Pack Fun

Or Michael Morse’s Phantom Home Run

And Jayson’s walk off in Game 4

And as the Cheers came raining down

And the bases, Werth ran around

I can’t forget the feeling

Even if that round was our ceiling

 

And even though he set the mark

On his way out of Nat’s Park

My feelings are so very dark

The day his contract died

 

Nat’s park was singing

 

Bye Bye, Oh perfect haired Bryce

Took the metro to the city and I let out a cry

I stood in the park drinking whiskey on ice

Saying we should have kept Harper in right

We should have kept Harper in right

[Slateman]

Meh defense, low average, high strikeouts .... what's not to love

[mitlen]

Even with your lyrical prowess, the song still sucks.

I saw that ninja edit...

Well done. Don’t pay attention to Mitlen. He thinks the Archie’s did that song.

Whoa, haven't heard that "artist" mentioned in a while.

With the opt-outs he'll likely want, he could end up playing for all 3 of them at some point...

[varoadking]

VaRK off tonight?     

I was makin' a sandwich.  (I know...that's generally Spider's excuse)

[Slateman]

I desperately want it to be Philly

[Copecwby20]

No one knows except Bryce and Boras. Everyone else is blowing smoke. Wake me up when December ends....

Oh crap. Now I gotta write that too

[Slateman]

Can't hold him back anymore
Let him go
