Why so much snark over the Nats? Is it an inside joke?
Or are there true Nats haters here?

Don't you realize it's like a form of racism to make fun of a major league baseball team?

The Nats are like any other team. They play the same game; they run the same drills; they wear the same style of uniforms. How are they different?

They're not!

Stop picking on the Nats, man. They're just like you & me.

;)

7. It's the Washington Traffic Circles now. They renamed the team to change its image.


Why they went with Traffic Circles, I have no idea. That only makes me hate them more.

8. What are Nats?
Are we talking about a MLB team here? I don't remember any "Nats." :wtf: is a nat anyhow?

When I used to watch baseball, there were only 26 teams and they looked like baseball players, not 'rroided up football players with deformed arms and necks.

How many MLB teams are there nowadays anyhow?

My ass is grass for this one. I just know it.

25. Tha Nats (or "Gnats") are the swirling whirlpool drain of the National
League. The suckage can be felt over all the East Coast, even unto the Mighty Marlins and the Phitin' Phils.

Someday they will be a great team.

Just not today.

Or tomorrow either.
They give out penants on fan appreciation day that read
"Sorry For Your Loss"

The Nats still suck, however, but remember - there is nowhere for them to go but up.....
