The Nationals are terrible. And apparently their fans have resorted to other sources of entertainment, including misleading Red Sox fans who were heading to Washington for their series.
Here are some excerpts from a Nationals MLB.com forum:
risoxfan74: Hi Everyone, I'm coming in this week for the Sox series. Are there any decent sportsbars near the ballpark? Thanks again!
PowerBoater69: There's only a beer garden next to the park, you're better off up the street on Capitol Hill, Remingtons (639 Pennsylvania Ave SE) is a NE Patriots bar so they'll probably have a large Red Sox crowd this week.
PowerBoater69: As a bonus this week the Bullpen will be filled with ugly women who can't dance and have grating accents.
risoxfan74: Thanks so much everyone. Enjoy the games this week!
professorx: I am also coming to the 3 game series for the Sox. I think its great that other cities have bars for Sox/Pats fans. Does the bar you mentioned in Cap. Hill, Remington's, usually have a good showing of Boston fans? Or is it usually kinda quiet with not that many fans there? Either way I will give it a try since I will be staying in the Cap. Hill area. Thanks for the heads up and good luck to a fun series.
Angelossux: There is a bar on 8th street, on Barracks Row,not far from the stadium,which I think all Boston fans will feel very comfortable in. It's called Phase 1 and is very nice.
professorx: Hi everyone and thank you all for the helpful tips. i just wanted to let all Red Sox fans and Nationals fans if they want to join us in some pregaming fun at one of the mentioned bars. My hotel is in the Cap. Hill area so I think i will probably start out at the bar called Remington's and then see how it is and go from there.
PowerBoater69: I walked by Remingtons yesterday and I don't think I've ever seen so many Red Sox fans in one place other than Fenway.
And then after the game...
professorx: You Nationals fans are pretty funny. I went to Remington's yesterday only to find out that it is a bar only for guys if you catch my drift. I pounded my drink and got out as fast as I could. On the way out I was fortunate enough to get Adam Dunn's and Ryan Zimmermans autograph a they were there getting something to eat for the game. lol (last part is obviously false) Good luck in the next two games. oh and by the way Phases bar is no better
Oh, those clever Nationals fans and their homophobic jokes.
Cheer and debate with
6,000,000+ fans!
