CURSED?!!! They were the Expos in 2004 when the Red Sox won their first WS in 86 years. Give me a break. Enough with the long faces and the oh it's happening again stuff.
Oh, they are in way comparable to the Sox, just shaking my head that they have had decent teams the last few years & just cannot get past the NLDS. Have to admit, though, they blow it in pretty spectacular fashion!

Those division championship banners are almost as bad as having Harmon Killebrew in their ring of fame.

Nobody can pitch in this game. I'm biased as hell but I feel like Yankees-Indians was much higher quality baseball than this.

I guess. Just seems like a very low bar. I mean look at who they're playing. Until 11.5 months ago...

Were you an Orioles fan before Natstown came?
This - I'm from the DC area and all my O's friends fans have been more than happy to jump on board the Nats train (not that I blame them). That said, I'm not sure if it's fair to call them bandwagoners if they were there for the Natinals era.

No I grew up in RI and was and remain a Sox fan. So always hated the Orioles. I've lived in the D.C area 25 yrs and jumped on the baseball to Washington bandwagon when I first moved here (so I guess I am a bandwagoner) But I've been part of a Nats season ticket group starting at RFK and have 3 boys who grew up Nats fans. Two are in college now and none of us are having any fun tonight.

Honestly, I'd like to see some sort of loyalty card or license (maybe with an oath or pledge) before deciding your sincerity. Judgment awaits you!

First born son is usually considered sufficient collateral.

Are the Nats more hatable than the Dodgers? Every time they show a National, they're bitching or tossing their bat or glaring at something seriously.
