Pigskin Envy
A tough end to another Washington team's season. But as low as burgundy backers may feel, BallWonk's thought as the clock wound down in the fourth quarter was this:
Squeaking into the playoffs as a wild card, then getting completely wiped out in the first round of the playoffs? That would be a freakin' great season for the Nationals.
DC United made the playoffs (again) this season. The burgundy warriors came back from Inner Suckolia to eke into the playoffs. The Capitals are playing just well enough to think about doing what their football peers did. And the Bullets are well on their way. So the Nationals basically owe it to DC to struggle out of the gate, then get hot before the All-Star Break, slide into the wild card by half a game in September, and then get swept by the Padres in the NLDS.
It's tough to get demolished in the first round of the playoffs. But better that than not playing at all.

Risky theme. I think you've hurt someone's feelings, but what's for me - I like it. No matter what they say if your opinion is true.
It is one of things I can never understand ... how people can think that way. It's so illogical that it can only be based upon moronity.
