Nats failure thread

[filihok]

There was this

and there was also this

This seemed to have been remedied last night

and then there was this


We also have this


And, we can't forget THIS, of course


I'm sure there are many, many, many, ... many others

but I was at the Tim Lincecum game the other day (Nats actually won) (Not to mention the Nats were supposed to lose to the Unit last night for his 300th, and they F'd that up too) and looked in horror upon this:



A statue honoring former Senator, Walter Johnson. A good enough idea, right. I was horrified by it. It was ghastly. Some three-armed, scaly, mutant version of The Big Train.





It appears that underworld demons are rising up to devour Johnson's right leg and his three-appendaged arm is covered by demon scales.

WTF?! were you thinking?

I think that they were going for 'movement' but it just came out looking like something from the mind of Dante Alighieri cased in bronze.

You fail again Nats.

Wow, that is hideous.

poor walter johnson

[Rongar]

As a fan of the Nats, my spin is: "Lovable losers"

[etothep]

You left out they the statue doesn't say he played for the Senators. The Nats are trying to claim that Johnson was actually a Nat simply b/c he played in the same city. Can the Clippers lay claim to having had Magic or Kobe play for them then?

And the angle of the first Johnson pic can't help but lead you to phallic thoughts

[RedsoxRockies]

Walter Johnson was a mutant?

[filihok]

Walter Johnson was a mutant?

So the Nationals would have you believe

[McPhale]

Don't forget this little bit of failure by the Nats.




I haven't been able to bring myself to go to any of the games yet. I have tix for the Red Sox when they come here later this month, but the Nats have screwed up so much this season (on and off the field) I just can't justify going. It doesn't help that on my days off, I've had the choice of teams such as Pittsburgh and San Fran to go watch.

lolol

[RedsoxRockies]

I am still laughing about that statue. Who designed it?

That's not the only one either. The other one is supposed to be designed to show the hitter's "motion" as well.

Yeah, they didn't look near as bad as the Train

[Mike67]

Well, officially from 1905-1955 the Senators were called the Nationals.. Just, nobody cared.. You know, much like when the Phillies called themselves the Blue Jays for a couple seasons..

A nice little article on the failures of the Nats from today's Post....
