Why is everyone so down on the Nats?

[T Roy]

The Nationals had the best record in Major League Baseball, yet ranked 15th in attendance and were eliminated in the division series. I don't see much of a reason not to be down on them.

The Mets will need to be reckoned with too, when their pitching is ready to rock and roll, thats coming! No one will beat them in Citifield.

One other thing, when Phillies' fans hate your team, you know they're relevant, because nothing from Philly ever is.

You saw a lot more stuff than I did. But then, I tried Twitter and didn't really like it. I just think their inexperience caught up with them. They sure made it an exciting year, though!

Because you play to win it all a chance at winning a world series. who knows when the Nats will remake the post season. We will never know how Strasburg would have pitched in the post season he would have at least greatly increased the chances of the Nats making the NLCS because he was the teams best pitcher in the regular season. I understand the team wanting to limit his innings but they were in contention to make the playoffs the move didn't make sense.

Everyone is so down on them because guess what? They choked.

I'm not hating. But c'mon.......they choked. Don't deny that. Stop trying to think the Nats have haters because really, they don't. Maybe a couple people.......MAYBE. But seriously, stop trying to play victim here.

They choked. Simple as that.
