This sordid clambake really is tits up.

[Softball Bat]

Baseball is long and boring because it's supposed to be.

Yep.

MLB wants to act like it relishes its rich tradition while at the same time it seeks to mold the product to gratify the current ADD culture.

MLB should embrace the fact that it is something different.

Culture changes and trends change.


They need to lose that hideous strike zone box.

Hating Trump is what unites DC....and America. You don't have to like it, you just have to suck on it.

TRUMP FOR PRISON 2020

And hating DC is what unites America.

[Truman]

Says the cuck that murdered three children. How'd that HER prediction work out, fatass? How's that Trump early resignation coming along? I hear the new Hard Rock downtown could use a new crane inspector - please do the world a favor and apply.

Just die already. What a hopeless drain of plasma donations.

DC isn't America. And neither are you. With the lineup of feebs, cucks, and socialists CNN serves up on stage every month, you're teed up for four more years of misery. KAG.

Don't you have a futile and meaningless DC statehood petition to push? Go 'strohs.

DC is America you god forsaken moron. We're the living breathing lungs of a still somewhat healthy democracy expressing our disgust for the authoritarian criminal syndicate that is trying to strangle it to death.

Anyway why are you Trump kneepadders so fucking butthurt over it? Haven't you spent the last five years telling everyone they are fucking snowflakes and FUCK YOUR FEELINGS and all that stupid shit? Lol

Again, you don't have to like it.....

[Ban Kierfag]

DC is a SWAMP that doesn't look anything like the rest of America!

You're a blue dot in a SEA OF RED.

No, it isn't.

If DC were America, we'd have a poorly equipped cunt failing our country right now. But it isn't, and we don't. Thankfully.

As for your athoritarian criminal syndicate... See above. Your cunt didn't get elected.

Scoreboard, you talentless fuck.

Yeah, I guess I did.

Wasting a few minutes on that ridiculous replay was pathetic.

Yep. You are a fucking snowflake, and none of us give a fuck about your feelings, since all you can ever do is pussy bleed about Trump. Every hour of every day.

[EAP]

HOLY SHIT! THE NATIONALS JUST TOOK THE LEAD.
WHAT A GAME!!!

[EAP]

Oh fuck. They're bringing in Cole. He's filthy. Unhittable.

[Kierland]

Nice.

[EAP]

Soto just drove in a run!!!
Holy shit!! 4-2 nationals in the 8th.

[EAP]

6-2 nationals!
Unbelievable!!!

[smackaholic]

Oh fuck. They're bringing in Cole. He's filthy. Unhittable.

You mean they should have.

Gotta feel bad for Greinke. Dude was just cruising. Then he hangs a change up.....

[Screw_Michigan]

Rack the fukkin Nats!

Championships are often lost by coaches and managers who outsmart themselves and tonight was no exception. Why the hell Finch pulled Greinke is beyond me and why Cole didn't pitch is also a mystery.

From the abyss of misery after Game 5 to coming from behind to win tonight. Amazing.

First in war, first in peace, first in the Major Leagues!

Everyone else can suck it!

[Softball Bat]

Condolences going out to Rumps, wherever he may be...

[Screw_Michigan]

First Nats game was Padres-Nats at RFK in 2006, before I moved here. Mgo was there.

Went to 20-25 Nats games from 08-11 when I lived in SW DC and could go to games for $5. Some really shitty teams but all that mattered was watching games and sitting in the lower bowl as close to first base as possible for $5.

Don't go to many games anymore but watch plenty of games on DC.

Anyone remember the threat where Smackie dissed the Nats? Bwaha.

[Kierland]

Only Nats game I have been to was the DC trollstop a few years back.

[smackaholic]

Yeah, absolutely horrible game management. No excuse to not have Cole ready. And I would have stayed with Greinke also. He was absolutely dominant. His pitch count was low. He throws one shitty changeup, then walks a guy. BFD.

[smackaholic]

Hard to beat up on dude that gave up the 2 run dinger. It was a pretty decent pitch, low and away.

[smackaholic]

Where the 'stros really messed up was in not beating up Scherzer earlier. Dude was on the ropes, every inning, pretty much.

[Screw_Michigan]

Same. Didn’t watch any of the WS this year. I saw part of a Houston vs Yankees game during dinner in Utah a Couple of weeks ago. I haven’t watched enough baseball in the past few years to enjoy it. I’m happy for Smackie, though.

What about me, mother fucker. Smackie is a Dodger fan.

[Screw_Michigan]

You chose to post a picture of a trannie burning an American flag as your avatar. I cannot work up any happiness to extend to you. You'll have to get through this on your own.

Wow, where's that triggered gif your troll Pikkkle has been posting...

Congratulations, Screw_Michigan.

Agree with that. I think Scherzer was just tired and worn out. The Astros left a lot of guys on base. That usually doesn’t work out too well...

He wasn't 100%.

[Screw_Michigan]

Congratulations, Screw_Michigan.

Thanks IB!

[Left Seater]

Congrats Screwy. Always awesome when your team wins it all.

It's been a good day. Are you not a baseball fan? Figured you would have been posting about the Stros.

[Left Seater]

Not a MLB fan. Enjoy college baseball and the College World Series might be the single best sporting “event”.

But no didn’t watch a single minute of the WS.

[Smackie Chan]

I'm happy for Screwy but won't congratulate him since he didn't contribute anything to the team that won the WS, just as I wouldn't expect to be congratulated if LA had won. I wanted the Nats to win after they beat the Dodgers in the NLCS and am happy for DC and Nats fans everywhere. Great series, Hollywood-type storylines, and simply a case of a team getting hot at the right time of the year. Martinez managed the team well, and while Hinch will catch flak for his decisions, he didn't do a bad job. No way should any manager have put Cole in during the middle of an inning, and Greinke had already gone longer than most people expected. He pitched a helluva game. Hinch going to Harris turned out to be a mistake, but hey - that's baseball.

I went to several Nats games when I lived in the DC area and it's an excellent ballpark. While the Dodgers will always be my favorite team, I'm also a Nats fan. Watched many of their games on TV when I lived out there, and think F.P. Santangelo is an outstanding color commentator - deadpan delivery with a great sense of humor and deep knowledge of the game's intricacies. Bob Carpenter is a decent play-by-play announcer; certainly no Vin Scully, but better than douchebags like John Sterling.

Congrats to the Nats! No one had them pegged to win it all the season after losing Harper. Hope the Dodgers can snag both Rendon & Cole as free agents, but ain't holding my breath.

[Screw_Michigan]

Well said. Except for the FP Santangelo part. I don't think there's a bigger bootlicker in MLB than FP. Almost as insufferable as reading Pikkkle's posts.

[Screw_Michigan]

I’d still take a 75% Scherzer any single day...

Matter of taste, I guess. Always liked listening to him despite his being a homer.

Almost as insufferable as reading Pikkkle's posts.

Difference being there's at least one person who can tolerate FP.

So, I take it you are one of those that cringe when one uses the pronoun "we" when referencing the team you support? I fukking hate that. If you aren't on the roster, "they" is the word you are looking for.

As for not going to Cole in the middle of an inning, why not? Is it that starters can't just walk up to the mound and throw? He was already warm. Does a middle of the inning reliever get to throw any warmups?

I thought they should have let Greinke stay in. He was absolutely dominant. It was the 7th inning, but his pitch count was still very low.

He hung one changeup and dude made him pay. Then he walked a guy. I believe his second of the night. It is not as if he was getting hammered. He might have very well settled back into his grove and continued what was looking to be one of the great all time pitching performances in series history.

What sucked for Harris is that the pitch he got taken out of the yard on was actually a pretty good pitch. It was low outside corner. Prolly right where he was aiming.
