So of course, over the following winter, the team redesigns its uniforms, launches a major new marketing program, and revamps its mascot. Yeah, that's exactly what any business run by grown-ups would do in the months immediately after losing its marketing chief. A real shame, too. I like the idea of Screech having thin legs like a bird, and I like the idea of having Screech take up a little less space in the aisles. But this is a huge downgrade. Screech was a terrific mascot. Granted, Screech was no Phanatic, but nobody else is, and in a world of TC Bears and all, Screech was very good. This is like a high-school art class project to design a new mascot for the football team. Or maybe a transporter accident, where Rob Lowe's "Clint" alter ego and old Screech both beamed up and got combined into one monstrous half-primate, half-avian freak. I only hope the Racing Presidents do not suffer a Screech-like downsizing. They're the real mascot face of the franchise anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moviemaker92 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I think the Nats might be the biggest joke in Baseball right now, excluding the Pirates. Their fan base is lacking, they have this beautiful new park with no one in it (You can't sugar-coat that) and their mascot is just terrible looking. Makes me wan to vomit, actually. To steal from another poster on this topic, and a prominent Washington sportswriter and Monday Night Football analyst, the Nats are craptastic. What are the odds on the Nats winning the World Series? Gotta be in the high double digits at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Since there's a tepid interest in the Nationals (last year didn't help), one can wonder how far they have to go to develop and entice a fan base to come to Nats Park for games this season unless a popular opposing team comes into town (like the Mets, Cubs, O's, Phillies, Brewers, and Red Sox).to quote that great thespian Destiny Hope Cyrus, pessimisticNatsfansaywha??? It will take a while to get used to the statement that the brewers are a popular team. Luckily, they won't have to worry about that this year.

The_Admiral Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The Brewers drew over 3 million. They're a popular team. They don't have a national following, though. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The Brewers drew over 3 million. They're a popular team.

BrySmalls Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Well since the Nats are the doormat of baseball right now, I'd expect a lot more opposing fans to be at the B-Grade Stadium this year.That is, IF the Nats are this year Rays, then who knows.

To steal from another poster on this topic, and a prominent Washington sportswriter and Monday Night Football analyst, the Nats are craptastic. What are the odds on the Nats winning the World Series? Gotta be in the high double digits at least.First off, "excluding the Pirates"? I'm sorry to rain on any Pittsbughers' pity parades here, but the Pirates are not the biggest joke in baseball. The Nats are. I mean, really, this isn't even debatable. Fortunately for the Nats, their chief clown has left the tent, so they're less of a joke than they were a week ago, but still. There's a certain dignity in being doormats for as long as the Pirates; see also the Kansas City Royals. Or maybe that's not so much dignity as the situation passing the point where it's no longer a laughing matter. Either way, the Nats are the biggest joke going.As to winning the World Series, you mean ever? Or just this year? If this year, then the odds are only in the double digits if you're counting the digits to the right of the decimal point. But ever, the franchise will turn around sometime. I'm not hopeful that this will occur while any member of the Lerner family owns the team, but baseball has strange cycles, and it's hard to keep even a joke of a franchise out of the playoffs for more than about twelve years in a row. It can be done -- see Pittsburgh -- but there's enough luck to the game that it's really hard not to stumble into the playoffs every once in a while. My wife is a huge Screech fan, and she absolutely hates the new Screech. Her response to seeing the photos was to say that maybe she didn't want to go to any games this year after all.

BrySmalls Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I hope to go to, at the most, 5* Nats games this year. They don't deserve any more of my time or money and will happily find other activities to spend time/money/energy on during the summer days.*Pending IF they are actually phenomenal this year.

DC has won a World Series since the Cubs last did and they were without baseball for 33 years!!! the next biggest joke is the Nats, but for a team thats so hyped and so loved having won nothing in over 100 years, that to me, is a joke. *no offense to Cubs fans, just my opinion* "I don't understand where you got this idea so deeply ingrained in your head (that this world) is something that you must impress, cause I couldn't care less"http://keepdcunited.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallWonk Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Aw, geez, I just noticed: Screech's jersey is untucked. That's fine for old Screech, who didn't wear pants. But once you give the mascot pants and stockings, you've gotta tuck in the jersey.Also, does new Screech really have no tail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this year, then the odds are only in the double digits if you're counting the digits to the right of the decimal point. I mean the vegas odds. You know, like 1 Trillion to 1. You do bring up good points about the Nats that have caused me to sway. The stuff they do blows me away. Screech 2.0. NatsTown. Their players. Back when the league ran the team, this was expected. Now that they actually have real owners, they should at least be trying to find players other than those who have been left for dead, or are complete and total liers.
