    Umm we held first place until late July and held a wild card spot into September.

    Yeah, and we had a winning record against the Nats that year. I remember it well after forgetting about that season entirely and looking it up on Wikipedia today. The Nats had nothing to do with us tanking at the end of the season. My point is that the Nats haven't really gotten in our way. We've certainly beaten ourselves and can't win a postseason game. Argue against that point big boi.
    thank you weso1!

    The Nats owned us at the end of the season.

    Also, 2012 they won the division and forced us to play in the wild card game.

    Dude, we were 17 games back in the end. The Nats had virtually nothing to do with it. We lost to everyone.

    In 2012 we still got into the playoffs. The playoffs definitely own us. The Nats do not.
    thank you weso1!

    I could never root for a division rival in the WS. Regardless of who it is.

    I get it during the season, but they made it to the WS without going through us. I'm not jealous of their achievement and glad they beat the Dodgers. People take winning and losing in sports too seriously. Seriously.

    It has to do with 2013 and them thinking they were hot **** the entire season.

    Let’s be real clear here - go read their boards if you don’t believe me. Their fans are entitled scum and loathe us. They got to cheat big time when they started up - I mean re-located cities- they are evil and trash- and anyone rooting for them is lost in the wilderness.
    If the Nats ever win again, it shall be far too soon in my book.
    To hell with them.
    May they suffer for a thousand years in the belly of a Banther.

    where is all the media etc to **** on George Springer for not running out of the box?

    that was in a world series game and way worse than what someone did a few weeks ago and we heard about it non stop

    For whatever reason, i guess because he's a phenom, people are always all over Acuna.

    It is beyond ridiculous at this point. I HATE that his team didn't back him up, at least in public.

    Quite frankly, I lost a ton of respect for Freeman over the incident.

    The new playoff ball may have played a role in Acuna getting caught watching what he thought was a homerun. In the reg season maybe that's a few rows deep.

    both examples show that balls hit at the velocity and launch angle of both

    would have traveled much further during the regular season

    Yep, but you can't deny Max, Stras, and Corbin. They should have won the division. The only reason they didn't was they crapped the bed for a month and a half and lost Max to the back injury. The worst part though will be going into Nats park and seeing that banner flying. I am pulling hard for Houston. And yeah Nats fans are the worst, and what makes it worse a majority of them seem to be former Braves fans. That is something I just can't abide by the switching of allegiances all because you moved Triple-A.
