Sticksboi05 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 a) What are you going to watch, a Nationals/Orioles playoff game or a Redskins regular season game? Would the Nationals making a deep run (at least NLCS) finally make people realize there are more teams than just the Redskins in D.C.? Thoughts?

Bang Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I will watch the Redskins game, but i will flip back to the orioles frequently. Baseball's not like football in that every instant must be seen to gather the whole. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thank Jebus for DVRs. Nats, no question, but I can never miss a Skins game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Being that I played baseball my entire life....I love the Skins, but a regular season game for them doesn't compare to a deep playoff baseball run. I'm watching the Nats. On the flipside, if it's the Orioles, I watch the Skins and check in occasionally to make sure the Orioles are losing.

SuperBash Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd give up watching the Skins for half of the year if it meant I could watch the Orioles in the playoffs. Plus, I'd be at any home game for the O's in the playoffs for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I would probably still watch the Skins with more passion but I would flip to the O's playoff game quite often. If it happened to be an elimination game, I would be very tough. My Redskins will always be my first love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskindan07 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Alright guys it's either Redskins super bowl or O's/Nationals world series game 7; which are you watching... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Alright guys it's either Redskins super bowl or O's/Nationals world series game 7; which are you watching... Considering they're on completely different times of the year that's a pointless question. There is a pretty good chance though that the Nats will have a home playoff game the same day as a Skins home game. The times would be different though as playoff games are generally on during primetime while the Skins game would start at 1 or 4, but still I wonder what game most people would choose to watch. I'd take the Nats playoff game because playoffs > regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHuv21 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ever heard of a bar??? Multiple televisions with different games on. For instance, the nats next/last series with the braves is during the skins week 2 versus the rams. I'll be saddled up at a bar with both of them on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The fact is with today's technology, we're all pretty much going to see the majority of both games if they are on at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybrant Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Skins are #1 for me. No matter what the situation is. Same here. But I'm not a huge baseball fan (will watch playoff games) anyway so it's easy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 On the flipside, if it's the Orioles, I watch the Skins and check in occasionally to make sure the Orioles are losing. THIS!!!!! Seriously thoug, I love the Nats, but we all know the Skins are king in this town. With that being said, if the Skins were playing the same time as the Nats, I will probably have to find a way to bring a second TV from out my room and the box so I wouldn't miss either. "Depends on who and how the Redskins are playing" If the Redskins are getting blown out, you better believe most of the time I will be watching the Nationals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsluggo Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd watch a Skins preseason game before a Nats/Orioles World Series game. i'd watch the tape delay of an interview of redskins players fromthe 1960s whom i had never heard of over a Nats/Os World Series game 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd watch the Pirates over the Redskins if I couldn't get to a bar... I love the Redskins, but I've seen them play meaningful games before... The Pirates? Notsomuch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'll definitely pay more attention to baseball playoffs if the Nats/O's are playing. But I'll still devote Sunday afternoon to the Skins. Maybe not pay as much attention to the Skins stuff during the week, but I'll still pay attention to the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Can we keep this stuff out of the thread. We get it. Actually, believe it or not, I'm not trying to go the G.A.C.O.L.B. route on this one though I mostly support his point of view. The title of the thread makes it sound like one or the other, but it is distinctly different for me depending on the team. That wasn't a throwaway job, I really would check in to actively root against them. In one scenario, the baseball team (Nats) has priority. In the other, the Skins have priority. That's all it was.

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 You forgot the "/Ravens". I mean if you're going to include O's fans, include their city's football team too. Good question though. I'd definitely be Nats playoffs game dominant but the Skins would be on between innings, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Baseball is riveting when your team is winning. Even when the Olympics were on I found myself paying more attention to the Nats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely be Nats playoffs game dominant but the Skins would be on between innings, no doubt. This is a Redskins board, the question is about Redskins vs. people's favorite baseball team, which happens to be either the O's or Nats. Ravens have nothing to do with it because this is not a Ravens board. A lot of Redskins fans are Orioles fans. Once upon a time most baseball fans in the area were Orioles fans because there was no other local baseball team. Nowadays there is a DC team and a segment of Nats fans abandoned the Orioles and root against them now even though the two don't play in the same conference so it makes no sense. Some would even say turning your back on a team you grew up rooting for so needlessly basically to root for the new team and abandon the old team while they weren't doing well is what a bandwagon fan would do.

Sizzla3000 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I seriously doubt MLB would put any of the playoffs games head 2 head against the NFL. The only chance would be a Monday night game and I don't think the Skins have any early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
