Well, THIS sucked!!

For the benefit of my only subscriber on here...I give you this:
Watch "Next year, we win it all" on YouTube
All by my lonesome...on my phone, yet. Will wonders never cease...LMAO
For anyone else who might start following this blog...next year, people.

Excuse me, there's a WERTHQUAKE in Washington right now

Jayson Werth.
All you need to know about Game 4 in the NLDS with the Nats...summed up here.
Am I still breathing?
I'm still in shock, as I watch the O's try to win their Game 4 against the Yankees. (And condolences to Joe Girardi, btw.)
Game 5 tomorrow night. Natitude, baby!! LMAO

Bad memories

Only one picture here. The reason, is found here:
Turdpile of a game
It just means that now the Nats have to go balls-out the next two days to move on. At any rate, read at your own risk...LOL

Oy vey, how much MORE?

This entry fills the void from not writing last night after Game 1.
Good thing I waited...
Best I could do under the circumstances. Anyway, read and enjoy.

Load of shit. All there is TO it.

Even though I was rooting for the Cards to win...Chipper's career shouldn't have had to end this way.Wow. Just, wow...
Chickenshit umpiring. Plain and simple.

The unthinkable?

Let me state for the record that it's my view the deadline for Ryan Zimmerman's contract extension...is Opening Day. NOT this Saturday.
Having said that...
Here is my message to the Lerners and Mike Rizzo: GET THIS FUCKER DONE, NOW!! Just the thought of trading Zim makes me want to puke.
WHY that is being floated is a mystery to me (not to mention Nats fans altogether). There's no way in hell I picture Zim wearing a Mets uniform...just as Mets fans can't fathom David Wright wearing a curly "W" cap.
(Am I right, Mike?)
And you all thought the Albert Pujols situation last year was a fluke...or Prince Fielder, for that matter. We're about to live it here in Nats Town, so please don't laugh at us.
Now if you'll all excuse me, I need to throw up...

At WHAT cost?

The Edwin Jackson signing, as reported in the St Louis Post-Dispatch. While I'm surprised the Nats pulled this off, I'm still not happy.
Why? Because now John Lannan is being dangled as trade bait. What's wrong with having BOTH these guys in the rotation?
I thought the idea was for the Nats to be competitive. Shipping out Lannan DOES NOT make us that!!
Christ, let's get to spring training already...

For God's sake...DO SOMETHING!! Please?

     The annual MLB winter meetings are happening this week in Dallas. And so far, I've heard absolutely NOTHING out of the Nationals' camp.

     All right, what's the fucking problem? ARE we going after Prince Fielder, or not? (And exactly how much is it gonna cost us?) Look, if the Marlins can throw around money for Jose Reyes and Heath Bell--not to mention offering Albert Pujols a 10-year deal--certainly the Lerners and Mike Rizzo can find a couple hundred million for Prince. RIGHT??

     I mean, now that we know Chris Marrero is out for spring training (and Adam LaRoche ain't the long-term answer @1B, and Michael Morse belongs in LF full-time...IMO), we need somebody to man the position. Am I right? So something has to be done. Right??

     Well, that and finding a CF. Or does Roger Bernadina figure in the Nats' future plans? We already know Laynce Nix is in Philly, so that option is off the table.

     So having ranted on the inaction in Dallas, let me move on to other matters. Namely, how Danny Espinosa got shafted for NL Rookie of the Year.

     You can NOT convince me Craig Kimbrel (or Freddie Freeman) of the Braves beats out Danny. Who are you trying to bullshit here? There's a bias here against either the Nats as a team, or D.C. as a baseball city. Either one or the other. What DO we have to do to get respect for the Nats?

     So there you have it. I've written yet another blog post here.

     Yee-ha.

You know it just HAD to come to this, right?

     All right, admit it. You were trying to come up with Jack Buck references to go with how David Freese ended Game 6 of the World Series, weren't you?
     You know what I mean, right? Now me, I swore I could hear "GO CRAZY, FOLKS, GO CRAZY!!!" in my head as the ball took off towards center field. Could you blame me?

     I'm sitting home flipping between Game 6 and the Capitals game, and once the Caps game ended I turned my attention to Game 6. "Surreal" couldn't begin to describe what was happening. Just when I (and America) thought the Cardinals had nothing left in the tank--or, in extra innings, running on fumes--all of a sudden the Cards mount not one but TWO comebacks.

     And I'll go this far to say Albert Pujols upped his asking price in free agency (to about $200 mil, IMO) by delivering in the bottom of the 9th with a knock. But there are other heroes abound from last night...which leads us back to David Freese.

     Before he ended the game, he brought about the 1st comeback by tripling off the fence in right-center field to tie it at 7-apiece. (And I'm like, "Holy shit, what is this??") Then again, should we really be surprised at last night's game?

     10 1/2 games out of the wild card picture in August...and yet here we are tonight with a Game 7. At least I didn't lie on my YouTube channel when I said it was going 7 games...lol

     All I can say is, regardless of what happens tonight, it's been one hell of a year for MLB. Now if we can just get to the offseason--and what the Nationals do in the offseason--we should all sit back and have fun. PLAY BALL!!!
