(2,220 posts)I cant decide if I want Michael Brantley or Yan Gomes and Asdrubal Cabrera to win. 😂 I think Im leaning toward the Nats, though, remembering that..thirty years ago?..Dave Martinez played for the Cubs, and was my favorite player. Go Nats! .

The fans who watched the final game at Nats Park, in the rain, also booed and chanted when a Trump ad was shown on the Jumbotron. A twofer!

The fans at the last game were amazing! I loved how regardless of team jersey they joined together to show solidarity against that disgusting occupant. "Lock him up" never sounded so good....

(55,445 posts)They got a permanent ban from the ballpark, but their goal was to bring attention to their new startup (Think "Playboy Magazine for Millennials" so mission accomplished.
Of course I had the whole game recorded on DVR and deleted it before I saw the story

(269,200 posts)but what do I know. One match can last five days but I just live the battle between bat and ball and all the surrounding intrigue. Sadly both sports are losing fans.

(2,343 posts)I was wrong. I did congratulate the Nats in another post. I still can't believe the Astros lost that series. I'm never confident about anything, but I was confident the Astros would win, even when they were down 0-2. My losing record of predictions is still intact though!
