Shallow Thought: The Nationals are My Second Favorite Team
Posted by: Nick the Greek in 2008 MLB, Cubs, Nationals, Shallow Thoughts
I have been accused by my good friends at the Nationals Enquirer of being a “pathological Nats-hater” but I must say that the Nationals are my second favorite team. Well, at least for this weekend anyway. They get the honor of filling in the blank of my regular quip:
“My two favorite teams are the White Sox and whoever is playing the Cubs”
Of course, not expecting any chance of a win this weekend at Wrigley for the Worst Team in Baseball, I must say I was pleasantly surprised to see this team clobbering the Cubs 10-5 in the 9th.
No wait, 13-5!!! And to make it even better, ex-White Sox Willie Harris (you know the man who scored the final run of Game 4 in the 2005 World Series) jacked 2 Home Runs and knocked in 6 runs. Wooo Hoo!!! Go Nats.
Wait…Willie Harris has 12 Home Runs this year. Tied for the TEAM lead. OK, it is official. The Nats are not only the Worst Team in Baseball…They are the Worst. Team. EVER. Willie Harris leads the team in Home Runs. You got to be kidding me.
Yet, It’s a final…they just be the Cubs!

Betcha can’t find one who works cheaper than me!!!
and tell me that you don’t find it incredulous that Willie Harris is leading the Nats (to victory and in HRs).

Was at the game with my daughter. Expected a blowout, and through 5 solid innings from Jason Marquis the Cubs we’re looking great. What a mess it turned out to be. I blame SpongeBob SqaurePants, not Willlie Harris. A stuffed version of SpongeBob was the gameday giveaway. Nothing but trouble happens when SpongeBob is around.

You could always hire me…
The world needs more people to talk about the Yankees.
