And speaking of records...

The Nat's are on course to break the season win record set by the 1962 Mets!

Go Nats!

Now how's THAT for spin!

Any time I see Moonie posting in here, I feel very sympathetic. Like he needs a pat on the head or something...

Hey, at least he gets his pick of seats when he wants to see his local minor league team play. (nothing but good things happened last time I made that joke, right?)

I've been meaning to tell you that I STILL laugh thinking about this post.

The Mets only played 160 games that year, so if the Nats hit 120 in the last two games, I say that record gets an asterisk.

I think Moonie is hoping to hit 120 cumulative wins since they moved to DC in 2005. They are currently 16-46 this season.

Ooh and there is a bonus....

One of the four games we have tickets to this year is Nats vs the Diamondbacks.

A true battle of Champions!

Ps...

Kudos to the Mannyless Dodgers. Nice to see they don't need the egomaniac to do well.

As a Dodger, he hasn't acted in the least like an egomaniac. And he's had every opportunity to do so. From boosting them to their best season in 2 decades, to the extended contract negotiations, to this embarrassing suspension, he's had ample chance to be anything but the gracious business-like player he's been.

Maybe it's just a matter of time, but even during his supposed tantrum in Boston, I didn't really see anything egregiously selfish or egomaniacle from him. The whole thing smelled more of Scott Boras's ego than Manny's.

Appeaser

These kind of disrespectful acts would only come from someone who thinks they are just better/more important that anyone else.
