Let’s go Nats! I’m a Washingtonian, so I’ve been a Nationals fan since they returned to D.C. Our projection is last place and if you are a betting person, we’re a +10000 dog to win the division (bet 100 and win 10,000). Even though it’s 1/5, I’m not taking those odds.
In Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, they mention the Nats. It’s a pretty terrible film, but Cobie Smulders gets in a cab and the taxi driver is wearing a Nationals’ hat. She asks if he’s a Nats’ fan. He replies, “Yeah, from the beginning.”
This was in 2016, so he’s been a fan for a whole 11 years. Not sure if you can say “since the beginning” proudly of a team that was a year older than a decade. But it’s a reference and I’ll take it! We won the series in 2019, I’ll take that too.
So glad to have baseball back.
