Beware June 18, the Day of Doom.

Nats were 30-32. First game of a double header in front of 17,000 fans at Fenway. Read the 9th:

This team is going to need the psychiatrist from The Natural after this.

This is a fun team to watch but we probably aren't a playoff team due to the BP. Sucks to waste this offense but it is what it is.

Poll  of players on which orgs are the worst to play for places the Nats in the bottom 10.

That said, the Nats got the same number of votes as the Brewers, Cards, and Yankees, all tied at 8th worst with the Royals as well.

Is the Phillies series start of something like the death of our 1961 team after the June 18 catastrophe?

Per nats.talk: Nats went 3-22 with RISP vs the Yankees, with 0 RBIs (they would have had one if Abrams didn't slip rounding 3rd in the first game).

Bumping for Spider ...

My bad. I looked but couldn’t find the thread. I’m just pissed off because I don’t see improvement on the horizon with this ownership. I don’t want to hear rosy bullcrap when I have to watch this freaking mess year after year while Mark Lerner is doing laps in his pool.

I have always wondered about that gif. You have to be incredibly strong to move your arms through all those coins in Scrooge McDuck's pool.  Do you think the Nats are using that to improve their power? Could explain the increase in homers.

Soto probably has a krugerrand pool in his crib on billionaires row...which might explain the swaying

Just  keeping this hear for the next time somebody says, "if the Nats signed" fill  in the blank:

After last night - roll with me on this (it'll all become clear...).

Over here, a local TV station ran a local 'talent' show. The Presenter was out in town, one day, when he became aware that a passing Viewer had recognized him. He acknowledged the Viewer by saying 'yes - it is me...'. After some small talk, the Viewer stated that the Presenter must 'have some nerve - to present that talent show rubbish'. The Presenter responded by saying 'well, we try to please a wide selection of our viewers, but we obviously missed with you. So, I suppose you won't be watching our next edition?' 'Not watching? Not watching?, replied the Viewer. 'I never miss - each week I tell myself "it can't be worse than last week"...and it is!!!.....'

Sound familiar?...
