Angry Today? Don't Worry... We Can Still Bash the Nats

We know that everyone right now is sulking on this dreary Sunday night just like us. It isn't because of the weather, although it doesn't help that the weather blows after the Phils blew today. Hell, if it wasn't for the weather, Doc was mowing people down today after a rough 1st inning. But the real reason was that it's absolutely terrible to have to watch those degenerates and AA ballplayers beat us - especially when their fans (if they actually have any) can't even fill 100 seats in their own stadium. But let's take a second and still take a look at just how pathetic the NATINALS are to make us feel just a little bit better...

We had the pleasure of getting to watch the Nationals' broadcast on MASNTV and the pleasure of getting to listen to the Nationals' radio broadcast today, and they were both giant jokes.

First off - MASN stands for 'Mid-Atlantic Sports Network' but the clever marketing people have decided to give themselves a new nickname via commercials 'MAXIMUM ACCESS to SPORTS NETWORK'. Wow, sign us up for for that network considering your marketing people have now sucked us in. Oh wait, you still cover the Nationals and Orioles - we'll pass, thanks.
Speaking of MASN, their announcers had an interesting game plan today. As soon as they could smell bad weather today in the 4th inning and Doc was cruising, they began hoping that they could get a rain delay so that Doc wouldn't be able to continue when the game resumed. The two knuckleheads were literally pleading with the weather to hurry up and open the skies before the 5th inning was over and the game became official. We've never heard two grown men whine like that because that was the only way that they actually had enough faith to believe that the Nats could get a W. MASN apparently has made great marketing AND PERSONNEL decisions...

Great marketing... Note all of the people they had to pay A LOT of money to actually wear Nationals' gear...

Secondly, we've got the radio crew. They spent the last inning (probably longer, but we didn't listen the whole game) complaining about how disgraceful it was that Phillies' fans engulfed the stadium and were cheering. In one respect, they're right. It's a complete disgrace that we own CBP South so badly. On the other hand, REALLY? They should just be happy that they have fans in the stands for once. Without Phillies games, they would forget what the sound of cheering was. Not to mention, if the Nats make any money this year (even with profit-sharing), it will be solely from the money we use to buy tickets and the Werth t-shirt jerseys that we buy just so we can burn them.

In fact, YOU'RE WELCOME, WASHINGTON. Ungrateful, pricks.

Regardless, fear not Philadelphia Phillies' fans... They can all celebrate their series win, but they're still embarrassing and still about 300 games out of first. Don't forget the factor that the rain played this weekend in stopping our great starting pitchers, and take deep breaths - it will all be just fine.
