Gameday Thread: Nationals vs. Astros - World Series Game 7

[fan_since79]

GM gives shout out to his 90-yr old dad and the Nats' 94-yr old owner.

Let's hear it for old guys!

Fernando Rodney gets no love. Haters!

Hopefully Osuna’s SO got the fvck out of dodge during the 9th inning.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't Strasburg.

Make it co-MVPs like they did for the 1981 Dodgers.

Fairweather MAGAts who stubbornly rooted for Astros (Hi, David Doyer fan Wohl!) after that loud booing on Sunday are triggered.

You do realize this is baseball, right?

Good to know my Friday commute won’t be impeded due to a parade.

Strasburg should jump in the car and start doing donuts on the field.

I have to admit I thought they were buried after their 19-31 start.

Great season, historic win for the Nats.

Astro fan doesn't care for the baby shark. Probably how the 2002 Giants felt about our Monkey

[Duren, Duren]

Hader could have eliminated this entire story. Instead. A foreshadowing of things to come. 

Washington will seriously decline but so what? The franchise can coast a decade without criticism. Lots of hilite footage to look back on for their fans.

From here on out Nationals fans will say they never won a world series in a season they didn't start 19-31.

[ukyah]

i'm stoked. i'm always rooting for the team that's never won a world series. i don't dislike the astros, so that would have been fine, but there's few things more fun that watching a team win it for the first time.

Yes he was, in spring training! EppLOLer cut him. To be fair, it was probably Doug White. 

I love how personal accountability just goes out the window with takes like this Chuck.  He had a 7 ERA in spring.  He was signed late and made it until a week left in the spring.  While he was here he wasn’t good.

Oh well, he doesn't show up on BR major or minor leagues.

Essentially what the Angels did.

Congrats to the Dodgers for extending their unbelievable streak of being the doormat to the eventual WS champs for a 4th straight year!

Looks like he was obeying the speed limit

[Blarg]

I think Ortiz on FOX was the only one that held the Nationals winning the World Series.

The Nats kinda reminded me of the '02 Angels.

I didnt realize how slow they started out.
