Describing A Nationals Game In 6 Words
It Ain't Easy Being A Nats Fan, But It Has Its Moments

When I lived in DC in 2006, the only reason to go to a Nationals game at all was Alfonso Soriano. And maybe Ryan Zimmerman, who was an emerging rookie. But that was it. The Nats were still playing in RFK, which is one step above playing in Hell, and of course they were constantly losing.

Not much has changed since then except that the team moved into a new stadium. They still suck, and they're still barely watchable.

What that must be like for a beat reporter covering them is beyond me, but you know what they say, "When you're given a lemon, make lemonade."

Well, Chico Harlan, who writes the Nationals Journal for the Washington Post is doing just that in his own hilarious way. He wants Nats fans to describe the team, or at least their most recent game, in 6 words. No more, no less. And the responses are as awesome as you'd expect them to be.

Dukes beats women, cheers like one.

Jim Bowden's talent strategy? Damaged goods.

We suck. Most of the time.

How far's THAT....? Warning track, Bob.

Fire Jim Bowden. Fire Jim Bowden.

Statistically speaking, we'll win sometimes, right?

They must have been drunk. Or high.

Somebody's getting beaned tonight. Can't wait.

We are still in last place.


And my personal favorite in talking about an opposing Mets pitcher:

Nelson Figueroa is a giant douche.

I'm just impressed there were 152 comments when I wrote this post. That suggests there are about 100 more Nats fans than I thought.
