Congrats to our few(one? Two?) Nat fans!

They were pretty darn amazing.

I don't think it's anywhere near as painful unless your name is Gerrit Cole. The Astros won it all two years ago and the Rangers haven't sniffed a title since Cruz couldn't catch that ball hit by Freese.

That loss couldn’t have happened to a classier franchise. Shame.

Go fuck yourself, you bandwagon jumping bitch.  You're a Yankee fan from south Texas.

[Valmy77 13093]

Congrats to the Nats. They are one hell of a team.

No more baseball until the Alumni game. Sad face.

[Quagmire 2146]

It isn’t in the same ballpark in terms of heartbreak. C’mon. Don’t make me relive this. 1 strike away, twice.

Lol, maybe. Just win 1 game at home with 2 CY young pitchers waiting.

[mdmost 42827]

Yeah, I'd be perfectly fine with Game 6 if the Rangers had won earlier. Instead, I'll probably take that loss to my fucking grave.

Christ...Man that quote nails it for me too. Here's to pitchers and catchers reporting.

I was at opening day against the O's. Sat in a group of O's fans who came up from Baltimore to the Bronx. They knew their team was awful, but they came up anyhow. I can't believe the season is over. Can't wait to try and make it to more than the 37 games I attended this year. All you guys and gals here who love this sport, no matter your team, are pretty cool.

Biggest world series favorites to ever lose, ever

Houston was the original Choke City.  This year they Took It Back.  Biggest football choke ever, now biggest baseball series choke ever.  No pro sports playoff series had lost 6 in a row at home, this one had it happen every game.  The ultimate 7-series choke.  So poetic, so fate, so predictable for Houston.  We're back.

The city should be honest and change their symbol to Sisyphus.  But pushing floodwaters instead of a rock up a hill (the only hills in Houston are trash mounds.)

[Tailgate 3018]

Great series...hard not to like the Nats. 

[Jive Turkey 12567]

never realized how much Rendon looks like Johnny Rage.

[David Dennison 18646]

Tip of the cap to the Nats.

 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Congrats Nats, well earned.

I will say, working that hard to get home field throughout just to lose all 4 of your home games in the World Series is a tough pill to swallow  

[Patrick Bateman 3903]

Congrats to the Nats!!!  Will they re-sign Stras or Rendon?  Or both?

[Jive Turkey 12567]

wonder if Trump will tweet congrats to the Nats after their fans embarrassed him on national television.

the answer is no, Trump will not send a tweet.  somebody will type out a very boring congrats on behalf of Trump and send it from his account.

You had me at “Go fuck yourself...”

[Beau Vine 53978]

I can't believe Dave fucking Martinez managed a team to a World Series championship.  That's like Kliff Kingsbury winning a Super Bowl.

[Underdog 28443]

Meanwhile, Boonie from the Bronx can’t even make it there.

Stras can’t opt-out until after next season. 

Edited October 31, 2019 by spystud13
Scratch that, this season or next.

[UpperWestside 6126]

They are playing the Rudy theme right now in the stadium. That's pretty cool honestly.

Disagree. He’s no Ned Yost. He did a hell of a job this year and can manage this team forever. 

[Pig Bellmont 8691]

No complaints that Stras as the MVP

Everything mentioned in the broadcast during the Series was that he had 3 days after the end of the series to opt out.

[Firemans4Horn 17823]

No wonder the UAW went on strike. GM spends $10m to run this marble mouth guy out at every event.

Should have been Soto. 1179 OPS this series. 

[F250 28674]

Trying to decide if Strasburg wife is hot or meh, leaning towards meh and that's with a lot of bourbon in my veins.

Happy for Scherzer, Strasburg, and Rendon.  They all deserve to have a ring.  Bonus points for not bringing Bryce Harper along for the ride.

Juan Soto can go fuck a goat.

Why the hate for Soto?

[Quagmire 2146]

Cuz he’s good

[ChickenSandwich 9798]

RISP. 

Nothing else mattered. Congrats to the Nats. Bring on Robot strike zones immediately 

[Pato del Muerto 52336]

Pretty incredible series that’s not reflected in the final scores of the games. 

How the Astros had 4 home games with cole, verlander, and grienke starting and managed to lose them all, I’ll never understand. 

Meanwhile, urdiquey is all but untouchable in dc.
