Every yer they think this is the Redskins year, maybe the Wizards can really be good, and U-MD basketball has a real shot.<br />They ignore, mis-represent and under-report sports they don't understand, and our guys don't understand baseball and hockey and NASCAR. <br />So they do contribute to the generally held notion that the Nats ain't much good are ain't nothing to get excited about. The Yankees, now that's a baseball team. They don't care what it costs.

Great win. I see some queries about "why fireworks?" Forgive me if someone already answered this, but the Nats' four-game sweep represented the Phillies' last four home games of the year and I'm sure the fireworks were preplanned. Now, of course, the Phillies will get some home games in the playoffs, but isn't it sweet -- oh, so sweet -- to have taken their last four scheduled home games away from them?

I hope you understand why we have to go forward without you... Thanks for supporting our pitchers, thanks for teaching our catchers... Thanks for all the joy, the smiles.<br /><br />Good luck going for 3,000 hits. Some team will be GLAD to have that arm for nailing base-stealers! Whether or not you get the hits, never mind, you are a hero to us.

Perhaps I should have written it as "don't care as as much as" -- but in any event, I didn't write "don't care at all."<br /><br />I'm not sure what the point of your post is. Your understanding of my post was not my intent -- which might be because you misunderstood, or because I wasn't clear enough, or, more likely, both.<br /><br />No biggie. Just a misunderstanding. I just wanted to clear up that I wasn't complaining -- my intent was to give _my_ main reason for wanting the Cards to beat the Mets, and, perhaps, to give others an additional reason.<br /><br />All we have to do is not assume negative motivations here.
