“Wow. WE DID IT! We’re going to the WORLD SERIES!!
Which is best of 5, right? And we play the team from the Western division? I think…the Broncos, or something?
God, this is so exciting.
Like Ryan Zimmerman said, we’ve been with you guys through thick and thin.
I mean, I’ve been a Nats fan FOREVER since I moved here from Wisconsin in 2017.
Now, we’ve suffered a lot as fans. We’ve been disappointed when Teddy didn’t win the President’s Race.
We’ve had to wait up to 15 minutes sometimes for a half-smoke.
For chrissakes, we’ve even had to deal with weekend track work coming from Clarendon after pre-gaming at Spider Kelly’s.
But we stayed the course. We persevered.
Because we LOVE this team
We loved them the minute they arrived here from Saskatchewan in…what was it, ’92, right?
We sold out game after game to watch our all-star pitcher do his thing.
Why are you asking me to name him? Don’t be a dick.
We migrated with them when they moved to Nationals Park from FedEx Field in Maryland.
We sold out game after game to watch our all-star pitcher do his thing.
Why are you asking me to name him? Don’t be a dick.
And when it came time to support this team in the playoffs, to fill out that luxury box my company bought for my clients at Lockheed, you bet your ass I was there.
I was going crazy for Ovechkin. He plays baseball, right?
And I’m all aboard the shark train! Because we’ll eat you, or something.
But what I love most about this franchise is its motto – STAY IN THE FIGHT.
That’s inspirational man.
When we were on the verge of elimination against the Cowboys, we didn’t give up.
We hung in there.
We stood our ground.
We showed that D.C. is a city of grit. A city of hustle. A city where living in a $3,300 one-bedroom luxury apartment next to a halfway house builds character.
So onto the World Series.
Let’s show ’em some Natitude.
Time to win the Stanley Cup again.
