mlktwins Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) Just want to say GO NATS!!!!! :-) We are so excited in our house. Our area is going NATS crazy. Edited October 16, 2019 by mlktwins 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Just a very frustrated Cards fan here (so... many... strikeouts...). Congrats Nats fans! I’m rooting for our homeboy Scherzer to get his ring now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovinmyboys Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Yes we are so excited! We are lifelong Royals fans, but we lived in the DC area for a few years and just moved in July. We rooted for the Nats while we were there and have had so much fun this postseason. Wish we were still there to celebrate! When the Caps won it was so fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Sad Dodger’s fan, but honestly impressed with the run that the Nats are on. Also, Howie Kendrick is such a nice guy and it was really cool to see him have his moment. I’ll be cheering for them in the WS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 My dh has been watching. My SIL is a huge fan. I'm more of an Orioles fan. I'll be watching the World series more closely though. Partly because it is the hometown team and partly because I don't like the Yanks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Dh doesn't watch baseball, except for the World Series. He said figures they would get in, now that we aren't in the DC area anymore!

Farrar Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I went nuts. Mushroom and dh went down to the stadium last night to scream and watch the big screen with the fans. It's been since 1933 that a DC team has made it to the series! We're so beyond excited. The team moved here right after my boys were born. Baseball is basically our main sport we follow. We're over the moon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie in VA Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) I can NOT stand it I'm so excited!!! Washington needs good news, and the Nats delivered! "Old Man" Zimmerman deserves this! Max Scherzer deserves this! Strasburg with the injuries...bless Davey Martinez! Everyone wanted him fired in May. Now look. This team even got me loving "Baby Shark!" Thanks, a lot, Parra! I am not superstitious, but the Nats have made me more than a little stitious, lol. My not talking about them, my not wearing my Nats shirt, my not touching Dh's Nats hat, and my not being in the room when their games are on are why the won. You. Are. Welcome! Now, no more Nats talk from me until after You Know What. Edited October 16, 2019 by Angie in VA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie in VA Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) Full disclosure: We are Baltimore Orioles fans too, since before the Nationals came to be (I know, I know, The Expos. YKWIM!) I didn't stop loving my first born when my 2nd child was born. I have enough love in my heart for both the Os AND the Nats. I would admit to taking both jerseys to a Nats v. Os game and donning the shirt of the team at bat, changing all throughout the game, but doing such a thing would be crazy. Admitting it here? Even crazier!

That kid!) It went against all that I had to cheer a) for NEW YORK and b) against the Diamondbacks, but I decided New York needed a ticker tape parade the month after 9/11. So I rooted for the Yankees. Yep, that's right. Arizona won! You're welcome, Dback fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I will be cheering for the Nationals. I am a Dodgers fan, but I knew they would choke in the post-season, no matter how great they do in the regular season. So, I will cheer for the National League in the Series, as usual. Unless the Giants are in the Series. I never cheer for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I had to admit that home run by (I think Soto?) was an incredible hit! I mean, I still hope our Astros win and all (and preferably in 6 games or fewer, b/c I'm going to be in the rough area of the game on the night of Game 7, if there is one, and I don't want the increased parking fees I'll find.......LOL!), but.....gotta admit, the Nationals are a pretty good team!

I'm finding your Nationals to be hard to root against, too. Man, they played well! Also, I was so annoyed with (Soto? is that who hit the awesome home run early on?) and his little self-righteous, taunting clap and then his signal to the heavens. Gosh, what a prideful, annoying guy! ONLY, then I read this morning an article about the Baby Shark thing going on, gave context to his annoying clap, lol, and then it seemed sweet. :sigh: I mean, I still want them to lose, but....it's sure nice to have GOOD opponents this go-round.....not just guys who can play baseball, but players and fans (well, I guess yet to be seen but I'm assuming) who are nice, etc. And I didn't realize they started off as the Wild Card winners!

I didn't like how the NY fans were acting during the ALCS! Yes, Baby Shark is HUGE here. Fans and players really get into it. Fun to watch. Soto turns 21 on Friday :-). It is nice to have GOOD opponents and both sides are being really classy! I think our fans are great too, but I know they were heckling Harper during his Philly's games in DC. I don't feel too bad for him though -- rolling around in his $300,000,000 :-). I think this is going to be a great series with 2 great teams. I do want a win for the NATS :-). We don't have one yet and this year's team is special. They've been fighting for every game since May, when everyone had written them off. To see them come together, how close they are (young and old players), the fun they have in the dugout with their dances and Baby Shark. I just feel it is our time. And...maybe it helped not having Harper there and whatever energy that brought to the team. And...I really want to get the win for Zimmerman and the other guys who have been there awhile. I also want a win for Rendon. Love him too - he is adorable and so humble! I want him to stay a National after this season ends!!! I wish I could take a nap before tonight's game -- LOL.

They just seem to really enjoy each other! Makes me smile to watch. They didn't show Zimmerman's, but his dance starts with him walking with an invisible walker (old guy) -- LOL. And to see Strasburg participate is so much fun. He is a total introvert! He is even allowing hugs and is smiling while he is getting them -- LOL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everytime they kept saying his name last night, I thought they were saying Han, and I thought it was hilarious his parents named him Han Soto. (ha) Finally they put it up on the screen and I realized it was Juan, which makes a bit more sense, and which I still love, though, for the play on words (whether it was on purpose or on accident). And it really IS going to be a great series, regardless. Somewhere just below half of me wants y'all to get y'all's fairytale, but don't tell anybody I said that, LOL! And yes to the coffee.
