It used to be that way with the Colts/Redskins back in the day. But being far removed from Charm City I've lost some sense of rivalries. <br /><br />So I find myself rooting for the Nats because of the involvement Frank Robinson and now Davey Johnson have with the club. I hope they do well in the post-season.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-67865551423405665832012-09-10T20:05:51.636-04:002012-09-10T20:05:51.636-04:00I'm a Nats "fan" for basically the s...I'm a Nats "fan" for basically the same reasons (except for living near their minor league team). The Orioles fall into that category for the same reason, so it's cool that they're both doing well this season. Still, I'd be pretty hard pressed to name their starting nine, much less any of their bench/bullpen guys.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439278650702057885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-63365412394239893392012-09-10T12:23:03.921-04:002012-09-10T12:23:03.921-04:00Interesting.

Instead I, like you, find myself rooting for them. Reason being the association they've had with Frank Robinson and now Davey Johnson.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-11602461113935895592012-09-10T11:11:34.424-04:002012-09-10T11:11:34.424-04:00I experienced Santangelo on the MLB Network for th...I experienced Santangelo on the MLB Network for the first time a month or so ago.

And my sons have fallen prey to all the Nats hype. I'll admit, it is fun to watch winning baseball but announcer FP Santangelo has gotten soooo annoying lately. I know a lot of announcers are "homers" but this is the first season the Nats have had a winning record and he acts like their "S" don't stink. Especially during the bench clearing episodes last week.<br /><br />Sour Cubs fan grapes? Maybe. But it started way before last week's series. I'll mute the TV and listen to the radio broadcast. And with RG3's performance yesterday, even the Nats first playoff appearance will fall by the wayside in this area.Once a Cubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09335285038636911672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-87714754950726154732012-09-10T09:58:02.102-04:002012-09-10T09:58:02.102-04:00I live in Virginia, so Nats games are on TV every ...I live in Virginia, so Nats games are on TV every day. I find myself watching more and more of them. Since I don't really have a favorite team, they are becoming mine just by availability. I've even considered starting to collect Nats, but I haven't committed yet.Spankeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359644189269593175noreply@blogger.com
