L.A. 14, Nationals 2. Congratulations. You got Bryce Harper. And you're First in War, First in Peace and THE WORST IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.

That disaster at Nationals Park against Los Angeles actually earned you a wonderful prize. Congratulations, you got Bryce Harper, the Chosen One. If you get trounced by ManRam and the Dodgers again, you'll get 100 losses, and you get the #1 pick in the draft. This blowout at the hands of L.A. reflects the Obama/Pelosi/Reid regime over at the White House and Capital Hill. I hate the Los Angeles Dodgers, and this is a slap in the face to baseball fans in D.C. With the Redskins underachieving and the Wizards still licking their wounds after a 19-63 disaster, at least D.C. already has a winner: The Washington Capitals. I wonder which is higher: Obama's approval rating or the Nationals' winning percentage... Anyway, if you lose tonight, this will make the people in Montreal happy, it was 5 years ago last week that the Expos played their final game in Montreal, and right now, the Nats are not making ANY progress in bringing a winner to D.C. I hope Strasburg and Harper will help you down the road, but this 14-2 loss is another embarrassment to the city, just like the current resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

This is one man's opinion, but Nats fans deserve better than what I heard last night and all season long.

I think we’ll be the only team with 100 losses. I’m with Ed…let’s see Harper against better competition and see if he’s still the best. I hope he’s the real deal. I do like the thought of drafting a position player.

I’ll go to the games to watch them lose.

How cheap are they?

They can’t be worse than the Pirates…

In the future can you save the politics for political blogs, this isn't the place...

I'm sorry for putting politics into this sports blog...

I’m just ticked off at how the Nationals have done since 2006, D.C. fans want a winner on the diamond, and I feel your pain. By the way: L.A. lost to the Pirates, while the Nats lost, so Pittsburgh is fading fast in the Harper sweepstakes. Hopefully Strasburg and Harper on the Nationals may be the 21st century version of the Expos’ Steve Rogers and Gary Carter. And do remember this: The Capitals were a disaster pre-Ovechkin, now they’re a Stanley Cup contender. If Strasburg and Harper do live up to the hype, expect the Nationals to be a playoff contender in 2011 or so, and a World Series contender 5 or 6 years down the road.

My name is Finlay, and I love to fight!
