[quote=CultBrennan59;1010897]Immediately after the Nationals lost to the Reds 15-0 this season and commentators said "The worst loss in the history of the Nationals" (and we've had some very bad teams) I immediately said that the Nationals are NOT winning a world series this year.[/quote]

Immediately after reading any of your post I instantly say "this guy doesn't know what he is talking about."

Funny. But I've been around sports too much my whole life to not know what I'm talking about. Predictions of mine are...predictions.

[quote=SmootSmack;1010898]That'd be more impressive if you said that before the loss. To make a statement like the immediately after a 15-0 loss...I mean I'm sure many were saying that at that moment[/quote]

Yeah I know what you mean. I'm just saying that game is what put the final nail in the coffin for me.

That's was their first loss of the year. It was like the 3rd game of a 162 game season. That was the final nail in the coffin for you? Harsh

Yeah, I can be harsh on teams sometimes, the future of DC Sports is bright, but not all teams can win their respective championships so soon.

Also I thought (but didn't put it down on paper or anything) that whenever a team is so heavily favored or picked by the media to win the world series (SI has us winning it all) that pressure gets to teams. So already right there, I was hesitant. Add in the worst loss in franchise history and that we got rid of a great player in Michael Morse and that was the 3 strikes for me to count them out.

We never should have sat Strasburg in the playoffs. That I was against and put on paper.

Exactly where do you keep this log of all your predictions? Do you sit in front of the TV night after night jotting down predictions in a TMNT Trapper Keeper?

Its been heard by friends and put down on other blogs/internet outlets I belong to. None of which I'm going to tell you about.

You really have a vendetta against me. You really take citing sources seriously. Jez...

lol...you know some posters here already have nail-in-hand and are leaning over the coffin as we speak waiting for that first play of the first preseason game: Morris off the right for 1 yard gain and the nail is driven in while cursing at the tv "f*ck Kyle"
