Fans gathered Sunday night in Nationals Park to watch a World Series showdown between the Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros, politics aside. That game however, quickly turned political when President Trump was recognized for his attendance on the stadium’s jumbotron. Fans quickly erupted in an audible “boo” followed by chants of “lock him up.”
The owners of the Washington Nationals, the Lerner family had previously asked not to sit by the President ahead of Sunday’s game, according to WUSA9. A representative from the family told the news channel that the family requested that the MLB not put them in an “awkward” position to turn down a request to sit in the President’s section.
Earlier in the day, President Trump made a pivotal announcement that U.S. Special Operations Forces had successfully killed the ruthless Islamic State terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in northwestern Syria. The operation was at Pres. Trump’s direction. It wasn’t enough for Nationals fans.
Sunday’s game was the President’s first appearance at a Major League Baseball game since taking office. Breaking a longstanding tradition, Pres. Trump decided not to throw out the first pitch.

Well the WS is over. The Trump curse invoked with gusto.
Well, now I want the Nationals to lose.
I did not have a favorite this year, now I want the Astros to whip the Nationals.
I’ve been pulling for the Nats (love Rendon and Sosa!) but I’m afraid I’ll have to switch my allegiance and go with Altuve and the Astros.
These same people would expect us to kiss Obama’s ring if the situation were reversed.
Of course the President got booed. The game was held inside the Beltway.
Trump curse.
The Nats haven’t a hope of winning against Houston now. At least Houston supports our President.
The Nats franchise is actually done for now.
Say goodbye to it.
And they lost. Good.
Any relation to Lois Lerner??
DIE NATS.
And the Nationals have been tanking for the last three games.
The thing about the World Series is, the other team is in it to win it, and they got to the World Series, too! There is no room for error or distraction.
Donald J. Trump is the biggest distraction on Planet Earth.
The second the Nats took their eye off the ball and started blathering on about Donald Trump, they started losing. They were probably drafting press releases in their heads about how they were going to forgo a White House reception. Ha!
The Astros have kept to their knitting, and they might just walk away with this thing, after dropping the first two games.
A bonus is this is George Will’s first WS with his beloved DC baseball team.
Lock him up for what, exactly? You liberals are such easily manipulated fools, wallowing in your mire of hate. Shouldn’t you be more focused on using the right pronouns for perverts or something?
Trump WANTED us to see him getting booed by swamp rats.
Crazy like a fox, that one.
Die gNats die.
#TrumpCurse
That’s okay. The Astros will beat the Gnats and will go on to visit president Trump in our White House.
That’s cool.
I have always liked the Astros because of Nolan Ryan and those damn gorgeous unis from the Astrodome.
When I heard this story before this 3 game stand I said it was the kiss of death and that has proved to be true.
In another thread a FReeper was at the game and said the boos and cheers were about 50/50...And he didn’t hear a “Lock him up”...
Just remember that Houston mayor Turner, would LOVE to give Obama a “Monica”.
.... and I refuse to watch sports....
