Crazy ass Nyjer Morgan was a true wild card. Big Dunnkey. Willinghammer. That was a weird and exciting team. You guys remember Sharkadina? Man did he come along to early and miss his time with us, he could have been a God in the current era of baby shark. I wish Werth had been able to win this with us, but I think Beast Mode is the guy I miss the most. And I know this isn't popular, but I wish Bryce had been able to win a ring here too. He was a tight-assed galoot but he was our tight-assed galoot, and him leaving wouldn't have been so ugly and awkward if we'd gotten over the hump first. God my original Nats memory was Brad Wilkerson hitting for the cycle. That awoke my childhood love for baseball and got me to start buying in on the idea that a baseball team in DC was going to be fun. What a rewarding experience all of this has been. Mikey Mo is one of my all time faves. Also loved Dmitri Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morse and Clippard are the two I miss the most. I still believe to this day that Rizzo made the wrong choice going with LaRoche over Morse...he was the teams' heart and soul. I was really hoping Rizzo would have gotten Clip at the deadline but the Indians were also in the playoff chase at the same time. And of course I really wanted Barrett to get some more innings to prove himself and make the playoff roster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always a heavy critic of Werth's contract but I eventually understood what he meant to the organization at the end. And Morse, loved that dude. Hell, I was even wacky for Willingham too. ****, I bet Nick Johnson could drink with the best of them. I'd pay money to see him dance in the dugout. I'd even go and say Levian Hernandez gets an honorary shower. His soft stuff and locate style of '10 and '11 was heartwarming during those two non-contention seasons. The feels. I loved going to games at RFK in 2005, the last year I lived in nova. Those were the days. If Storen is somewhere in a monastery in Southeast Asia, completely disconnected from the troubles of this world, I hope we can crack one open for him too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I only wish Desi were still around to get a ring. He had his limitations as a player, but he came up through the hard years and was as good an ambassador as we could have had outside of Zimm 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew. That's hard for me. The best I can muster is a polite no comment for Storen. But (at least for me) I'd pour a little out for Jordan Zimmerman. I was sad when he left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander -JB- Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 As much as we adored some of the guys of yesteryear, they were never part of a championship team and so like many failed past relationships we just have to let them go lolol 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People love Jayson Werth and treat him like a legend and he had the big HR in game 4 of the 2012 NLDS. However, in 2017 Dusty refused to play Howie in the NLDS even though Werth was awful. I was infuriated that Dusty wouldn’t move on from Werth because he was a hindrance. I just don’t look at him the same way a lot of Nats fans do. We won BECAUSE those guys are gone! This team won the championship!!!!! If it was meant to be for those other guys it would have happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 WHERE THE **** CAN I BUY A NAVY BLUE NATIONALS JERSEY WITH THE PATCH ON IT!!! NEED THAT NOW!!!! Damn what an amazing run this was. So much fun. Went to Modell's before work and that **** was packed and they didn't have much in adult sizes. Got my son a shirt and myself one of those ugly black hats, but I needed one. Also bought a flag to hang in my basement next to my Caps one, a baseball, and a penant. Will probably order the rest of stuff online. I have a wedding on Saturday on Kent Island at 5pm so unfortunately I can't even go to the damn parade. I already asked my cousin to move his wedding, and he said I wasn't the first one to ask him that. Unfortunately he can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just guessing that the Stros got double the favorable calls. Not that it matters now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Kind of a random thought, but I suspect the Nationals lose the World Series if Dave Martinez doesn't go ballistic after that runner interference call against Turner. I think that changed the tone of the last two days. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked on MLB shop website and I've never seen it. If they are getting them in, they are selling them so quickly. Even just googling for them I don't really see anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier today I only saw the white ones. https://www.mlbshop.com/washington-nationals/mens-washington-nationals-juan-soto-majestic-red-2019-world-series-champions-alternate-big-and-tall-cool-base-player-jersey/t-36458958+p-9285469553711+z-9-2497013852?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r0c1:po-1 I saw someone on here say earlier that Zimmerman was retiring a National. Did he really say that or was that just speculation? I'd love to get a Zim jersey but only if I know he's gonna be a Nat for life!
