I was born and raised here in the DC area, so naturally I root for my local teams. I was never a huge baseball fan until I moved up to NYC in 98 and went to my first Yankee game at Yankee stadium, and since then I have been a huge Yankee fan. I get a lot of slack for that because most of my friends hate the Yankees.
But now that I get a chance to see my own team in my backyard....heck yeah I'm gonna follow my Nats. Good thing is, is that the Nats are in the NL and the Yanks in the AL. So it works out. If you're going to follow your team, don't wait until their good. Be there thru the good and bad, and f*** what people say. DC hasn't had a baseball team in 33 years. This is something that all of us DC locals should be excited about. So don't feel bad man.
I really could care less about the Orioles. Especially Angelos. I hate that guy. He's probably the reason why I hate the Orioles so much. Whats sucks is that he has some of my favorite players on his team. Palmeiro, Sosa, Javy Lopez, and Miguel Tejada. Hopefully they have another shitty season and all those players get traded to the Nats.
I can't wait for Baseball season to start. I'll be in RFK stadium on opening day. Then, take some trips up 95 to see my Yankees.
