2020 Fightin' Phils Still Not Back to Relevancy Thread

Here you go GF.

Them's Phitin' Words!

If the Nats do lose Stras and Rendon, they are in for a step backwards, so I have to get in my shots while I can.

I'll allow this one.

I'll also predict that the Nationals will not win another World Series in our lifetimes (yours, not mine - I could be dead by this time next year). They had their one small market team miracle. Hope they savor it.

Very well could be right about the WS, but DC is not a small market. They are top 10 in most rankings for all sports and currently #11 on MLB value.

Strasburg resigns with Nats!

Strasburg resigns with Nats!

That was the one to keep over Rendon. Or as you should probably now call him, Rendone.

Yup. When Tony Twobags took a swipe at Nats fans with about two weeks to go in the regular season I said he wasn't coming back.

Nats going after Donaldson to play third.

Yup. When Tony Twobags took a swipe at Nats bandwagon fans like me with about two weeks to go in the regular season I said he wasn't coming back.

Accuracy.

Not very accurate IT. Fans weren't showing up even though the team was in a WC spot. Bandwagon fans would have been there.

And most fan bases in MLB are "bandwagon". Hence why the Phillies were so far behind the Nats for several years in a row before last year. Phils stole a Nat to boost attendance. Go figure.

And the "me" part? GMAFB.

Strasburg resigns with Nats!

That's a lot of money to give a guy who plays every fifth game and has a history of arm issues.

[89Hen]

It is, but you can't let him go and he earned it.

Whatever, Mudge.

You are a humorless old turd.

Not very accurate again. If you were making a joke, use the appropriate smilie.

No smilie required. It's clearly a joke when Mudge and turd are used you humorless old turd!

And if IT weren't retired, he'd be just as much a curmudgeon as I am, if not more.

You're an old soul and IT has always been younger at heart than you. Embrace your curmudgeonly self 89!

UNI88 speaks the truth! And I want that book!

By the way, Richard Nixon was once a partner at the Wall Street law firm of Mudge, Rose, Guthrie & Alexander — the same firm that brought us Watergate hero John Mitchell.

It's an awesome book. I frequently quote Dorthy Parker because of that book.

What does retirement have to do with curmudegonhood? It’s a character trait.

Liar! I hope you like what you do for a living.

Look, retirement is just moving on from a paying job to a bunch of non-paying jobs. You don’t just sit on your duff, think happy thoughts, and smile all day!
