World Series Game 6 preview: The Nationals, once again, must win or go home
Washington Compost ^ | October 29, 2019 | Sam Fortier

No need to read the linked article. The fans at the Nationals stadium booed our President the other night. People who go against Trump tend to lose.

I have family in Houston, so I was rooting for them anyway.

But in fairness to the Nats, the headlines, even on FoxNews, have been exaggerated to the point of lies. It only took a few seconds yesterday immediately after the game to youtube three videos taken from different areas of the stadium.

Eg, FN headlined: "Trump Roundly Booed," but all 3 vids I looked at belied that. When PDJT's presence was announced, there was first a combo of applause & cheers, soon joined by boos. But it never seemed that the boos dominated. They were just mixed in with the cheers and clapping.

And the report that "the crowd cheered 'Lock him up!'" is a lie, as the videos prove. Now, I'm certain that *some* people somewhere in the crowd yelled that - I'm guessing the MSM section itself is the likeliest place you'd hear that - but to characterize some unknown number of people as "the crowd" is unfair to Nats fans.

I was there, it was a setup. The cjanters were close to where Trump was, we couldn’t hear them and it was 50-50.

I’m torqued at them for 2 reasons: They took a dive after the first 2 games, and then they dissed our President. I can’t wish ‘em any bad luck, but if they have some I hope I hear about it.

I am not a fan of either team, being from Pennsyltucky. But I’ve heard that Verlander is a moody prima dona who holds grudges.

Are the Astros any better toward Trump than the Nats are; I mean from the front office on down? Asking for a little old lady.

Send them back to Canada.

If Montreal can't support a major league team, maybe Calgary, Vancouver or Winnipeg can.

Just a hunch, but I'm guessing the ratings will be through the roof! Go Astros!

I hope many Astros fans will attend the game in MAGA wear

The Astros are owned by a Democrat donor and friend of Obama.

The Astros owner goes golfing with Obama and donates a lot to the Democrats.

The Nats owners also lean Democratic, though not as much.

But the father probably doesn't get out much on the golf course.

If it was indeed 50/50 it would reflect the voting of the election in 2016 of the nation as a whole. Certainly not DC but the actual makeup of who was there that night would be mostly well off people given the cost of entry. To me that would indicate mostly the DC suburbs. If the DC suburbs are 50/50 I think our side is looking good.

I love that guy and want to see him get a win and a ring

Verlander did get a ring in 2017. He's also a friend of President Trump and they have golfed together.

Alex Bregman showed himself to be anti-Trump via a social media post sometime after the first series win. i’m sure a few other players are also having been mislead. But not Reddick...he supports Trump.
REDDICK is the smart one on the team

The Nat owner(s) did make it clear to POTUS that if he came to Sunday night’s game he was NOT welcome in their box suite. How chintzy and pointy-@$$ed can a person get. But if they’re buds with Obloviate, it’s all downhill from there. I wonder how they’ll feel when O goes to Gitmo (or worse) for impersonating a Natural Born Citizen?

I hope the Nationals embarrassing collapse is humiliating tonight. 45-0 should do it.

Just wished it was someone other than Verlander pitching.

That guy is my hero. Nothing to do with his pitching skills.

Not just the fans reaction. The Nat owners refused to have Trump sit with them, or them with him.

I had been rooting for the NATS till that happened.

Go Astros!!
