GDT: The Washington Nationals are the 2019 World Series Champions!

That and not going to Cole there.

Also not walking Soto when you had two outs and Eaton on 2nd

Congrats to the Nats fan. The worst thing isn't losing, the worst thing is I work with people who aren't baseball fans/Yankees fans and they're going to rub it in. It's going to be a long off season.

Has there ever been a World Series where it went 7 and the road team won every game?

No and never in NBA and NHL.

Hey, Houston beat the Yankees, so Yankee fans can’t really make fun of you. I mean, they can, but, you know.

If you just wanna see a guy enjoying life check out twitter and the Ovechkin live tweets during and after the game. Pretty good stuff.

Samantha Pell and the Capitals twitter feed pretty much have it covered.

They are mainly pissed at him for the 7th, but that was a ridiculous move too.

Incredibly sentimental right now. My parents brought me to my first Expos game when I was two years old, growing up in Montreal, and told me about the Jarry Park years. I loved the likes of Carter and Dawson and Raines, through Gallarraga and Pedro. Eventually, I moved to Washington from Montreal when I was in my teens and later my club followed me here. I know the move left Montreal fans with bittersweet and mixed feelings for the team, and understand, but for me it felt like a personal connection for this transplant. Long and dreary years at RFK, then the brand new park in Southeast, to a title. Amazing. So happy.

No....there's probably a prevailing sense of extreme anger in Expos fans right now that another city has their championship.

And the fact that this World Series result happened probably also confirmed one thing in the minds of Expo fans....they will never see the Montreal Expos return to MLB again, because MLB probably doesn't want that brand around as an active entity anymore.

If, somehow, they did come back, I'd want the whole history of that team returned to them, which now also includes the World Series trophy, forcing Washington to start all over again from nothing.

its been 14 years

is there really a sense of anger in montreal over the nats winning the title? its not like when the avs won the cup in '96 right after leaving QC or the rams winning the SB a few years after leaving socal

 

[DougieSmash]

Nats in six.

Almost...

So glad to see Scherzer, Stras, Soto and Rendon win it. Awesome.

 

[Master P]

lol

Underrated part of this: Noted trash can Fernando Rodney somehow gets a World Series ring.

How many ****ing former Tigers won rings in this series alone? Like 4?

In that vein...LOL at this list (and the fact none of them were ON the Tigers when winning)

 

[DougieSmash]

btw. I hope Stras and Rendon stays in Washington.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Maybe the Angels will let go of Trout and win the World Series

 

[NJDevs26]

So why exactly did AJ Hinch bring in Osuna in the 7th inning...was he trying to get cute and save Cole for the last 3-6 outs? Might as well have brought in Cole first and let your closer pitch the closer innings if Cole couldn't finish the game.

Thomas Boswell - Heroes can’t help themselves. They hear the call to battle and they charge toward the sounds of danger. Sometimes, if that admired hero is a general, no one can tell him whether his ideas about the best plan of action are wise or simply brave. Sometimes, only the field of battle gives the true answer. And you can’t know until you get there.

For more than three days, Scherzer has been 6-foot-3-inches 215 pounds of adrenaline in spikes, pure kinetic energy barely contained in a Washington Nationals uniform. After feeling angry, disappointed and perhaps even mortified Sunday when he could not pitch in Game Five of the World Series because of back and neck spasms, he made it clear that, with the help of a cortisone shot in his neck that day, he planned to pitch a Game 7, if there was one. It was not a point to be discussed.

On Sunday, when Scherzer couldn’t start, Annette Lerner, wife of team principal owner Ted Lerner, remarked what a tough break it was for the team but that, as in the lyrics from “Damn Yankees,” the 1958 Broadway play, “You’ve got to have heart, miles and miles and miles of heart.” That song is sung by the Washington Senators team to inspire itself to beat the New York Yankees.

Nats beat two teams with a combined 213 wins in one postseason. Gotta be a record, no?

 

[Del Preston]

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Does this mean Fernando Rodney's finally gonna retire?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Most likely should not have pulled Grienke, burn if you are you need to put Cole in there.

You can’t let Osuna pitch to Soto either. Really poorly managed game.

1. If Montreal builds a new park then there is a solid chance of the Expos 2.0 becoming a reality.
2. Not a chance Montreal would get the Washington Nationals 2005-Present history lol.

Better him than someone like Ozuna getting a WS ring or the person that signed him.

Yeahhhhhhhh

Awwww how sentimental. The rest of us in Montreal that were diehards and went to games had our hearts ripped out and were tormented by those that followed greed.
