Margaret Thatcher?!? What?!?
That's the classic Philly Pinochiopoke. A time bonered staple.
Well it’s a matter of semantics. If I was a Mets fan I wouldn’t have been happy at the end 2008. They screwed up and missed the playoffs the second year in a row.
Four separate sources calling the end of the 2008 mets season a quote “collapse.”
Really, my point is that neither the Mets or the Nationals are invulnerable. Either team would have less of a chance of making the playoffs if they were in basically any other division in baseball.
Ok sure in 2008 they only handed the WC to the Brewers, gift wrapped.
This has truly been the greatest season ever for hate-watching The GOP.
If I eat cake now then how will I have cake later when I might really want some cake?
Mets fans everywhere, indeed. Suddenly everyone I know has been a stealthy Mets fan for years.
Right on. The one I heard was a little different but it basically said the same thing, something about him agreeing to go there to be the closer and relying on using him in that role only.
Not sure exactly what you mean by show my work but if you google the mets you’ll see that they are known as loveable losers and for putting their fans through seasons of thinking they’re turning it around only to disappoint much like what’s going on with the Nationals now but for many more seasons. Sure they’ve had…
2007, when they should have won the division but the wheels came off at the end.
I don’t have the exact quote but a few days ago Williams basically said that he’s only going to use Papelbon in save situations. I’m not saying it’s not a dumb way to go about it but it’s his stated plan. Frankly it would work better if anyone in a Nationals uniform was pitching like they were expected to.
Ugh. I long for the day when the Nats will stop being so constantly compared to the O’s. Orioles fans seem to have so much contempt for Nats fans and I really don’t understand the logic. Take a look at Baltimore’s record, I’d just leave them out of the ‘it could be worse’ conversation. All it would take is a very…
Papelbon sort of did say that. He said he would reject a trade to any team that wouldn’t agree to use him as a closer. Not that I’m trying to take away blame from Williams. It is broke, please fix it.
I was going to post he entire lyrics to “Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream” but I’ll just settle for “I’ll let you be in my dream if you let me be in yours.”
Tomato patato.
I used to have this dream regularly but I haven’t now in probably a couple of years:
