After winning the first two games on the road, the Washington Nationals lost three games in a row in their World Series home stand against the Houston Astros this weekend following several snubs of President Trump by the team and protests by fans. After scoring a combined 17 runs in their two opening victories the Nationals have only scored one run per game while getting blown out at home by the Astros who have scored a combined 19 runs in their three road victories.
When Trump announced he would be attending a possible Game 5 on Sunday, the Nationals announced Trump antagonist chef Jose Andres would throw out the ceremonial first pitch for that game. (Trump had already said he was not interested in throwing the first pitch.)
That was followed by a report the team owners did not want to sit with Trump and quietly let it be known he should not ask them to do so.
At the game Sunday night, Trump was loudly booed by the wealthy D.C. swamp rats in attendance who also chanted, “lock him up”, even though just the day before a raid in Syria ordered by Trump had led to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Need a separation of sport and state for me to keep watching.
Whoohoo!

LOL!! :-D
Yes — about Altuve! Now instead of fearing him when he is at bat, I will be cheering!!!
I am getting PT for a back problem and the therapists -— all sporty males -— are a riot and BIG Yankee fans!!! They know I was born in and lived in Boston for many years, so we have had a few ‘’discussions’’ when I would go for treatment. I want the Sox back so badly -— if only to tease those elder abusers!!!!!!!
Yeah. Ok. Sure.
Just thought I’d point ESPN this morning on their coverage spent like 45 seconds on the Game 5, and, NONE OF THE top 10 highlights were the world series game...NONE.
Obviously, ESPN hates the Astros and PDJT.
Who/what is this ESPN? ( /sarc)
'Elder abusers'... LOL! :-D
Wow, that must be tough to be a Boston Red Sox fan deep in Yankees country in New Jersey.
We live above the Red Sox/Yankees 'Mason-Dixon Line', which runs approximately through New Britain, Connecticut, lol. Hubby and I live only 5 miles from the Massachusetts border, so it's safe Red Sox territory here.
The Sox had *better* return to their usual greatness in 2020. I still cannot believe how awful they were this season. Barely above .500 at the end of 2019.
Hope your back is feeling MUCH better, FRiend! :-)
Today at PT I told my therapist, Garo, about my going from the NATS to Houston ( yea— Astro home run!!) because of the treatment Trump got from the National owners. Garo hadn’t heard that and I think he is an Astro tonight!!
Yes— Red Sox!! C’mon back! We need you! And I NEED you to get back at those therapists!!
Astros just sent a ‘Bill Buckner’ down to first base - Nats made the out look easy 😊
I have the game on both the radio and TV. The radio is about 5-6 seconds ahead of what I see on TV. So it is interesting to know what is coming on TV. The radio announcers are good in that they explain a lot— more than the TV announcers.
Baseball Radio announcers are amazing
Go Astros!!
Very interesting. Yes, radio announcers are usually better than TV announcers... They have to “paint that picture” in your mind, etc.
Can’t find one either! Strange. And I keep looking. Another run for the Astros. About time after having so many on base! Listen to that crowd!
Geesh... Nats now ahead. Maybe A.J. Hinch should’ve kept Greinke in??
It IS strange that there isn't an 'official' World Series Game 7 thread. It's the freakin' World Series!
FR ain't what it used to be :-(
Yes— Greinke was starting to throw balks, but that’s better than homers!! Bad call.
Funny, I was thinking the same about MLB....
