DC Optimist: Seven-Game Non-Winning Streak is Even More Inconsequential
http://dcoptimist.blogspot.com/2007/05/seven-game-non-winning-streak-is-even.html
Relax Everything's going to be fine. For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else”". Wednesday, May 9, 2007. Seven-Game Non-Winning Streak is Even More Inconsequential. Why does everyone insist on piling on. Seriously, Linton Weeks, do you just want to never be able to get press credentials)? It's like no team has ever had a lengthy losing streak before. Why this rush to anoint the Nats as the worst team of all time? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Unwilling to Be...

http://dcoptimist.blogspot.com/2007/10/capitals-and-nationals-partners-in.html
Relax Everything's going to be fine. For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else”". Thursday, October 4, 2007. Capitals and Nationals: Partners in. The Nationals just finished off their surprising season. The Capitals are about to begin theirs. We look now at the striking similarities in the two clubs' situations, and why there is more cause for optimism for each than there has been in years. Young, rising superstars (Ovechkin / Zimmerman). Nationals: Ronnie Belliard...

DC Optimist: OPTIMIST OF THE WEEK

Relax Everything's going to be fine. For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else”". Friday, April 13, 2007. OPTIMIST OF THE WEEK. It is with pleasure that DCO introduces the Manny Acta Optimist of the Week Award. Each Friday we will recognize a figure from the Washington sports community who best embodies the values of DCO and of the Nationals' indelibly positive-thinking manager. Even with most of the sports world expecting (hoping for? OPTIMIST OF THE WEEK. Eagles ...

DC Optimist: Manuel Elias Acta November 14, 2006 - July 13, 2009

Relax Everything's going to be fine. For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else”". Monday, July 13, 2009. November 14, 2006 - July 13, 2009. This truly is one of the darkest days since this blog’s inception two-plus years ago. The Master, one of our key inspirations and mentors (two fleeting encounters count as mentorship), Man-Act, Chairmanny, is no more. September 23, 2007. Final Nats home game of the season, and final Nats’ game ever at RFK (my first weddin...

DC Optimist: Mets Worse Than Nats in the Eyes of History
http://dcoptimist.blogspot.com/2009/09/mets-worse-than-nats-in-eyes-of-history.html
Relax Everything's going to be fine. For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else”". Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Mets Worse Than Nats in the Eyes of History. Maybe you’re a little down about the constant negative/hacky Redskins-related commentary these days, or the latest lame Harlan-wrought snippy shot at the burgeoning Nationals, or the squalid lack of DCO posts since the tragic mid-July termination of our mentor and inspiration. Manny would be/probably is proud.

DC Optimist: The Chair(Manny) Has Spoken
http://dcoptimist.blogspot.com/2007/06/chairmanny-speaks.html
Relax Everything's going to be fine. For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else”". Thursday, June 14, 2007. The Chair(Manny) Has Spoken. Again, six runs scored with two outs. Again, double digit hits. Another nice start from Matt Chico. But what may be flying slightly under the radar here is the continual maturing of Manny Acta as a legitimate big-league manager. We don't know. "[spoke] a little Spanish," is all he revealed. Now the Nats look for a win tonight that ...

DC Optimist: We Can (and will, and must) Get Through This

Relax Everything's going to be fine. For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else”". Friday, June 12, 2009. We Can (and will, and must) Get Through This. Who knows, maybe someday Alex will even rise enough to not be so arbitrarily and automatically attached to the horrible beard-grower in southwestern PA. A few 70-goal seasons should do it. And not for the atrocity that occurred in Detroit, and the gushy coronation that ensued. Now how about those Nats? Nats Fans: Les...

DC Optimist: Caps Finding Creative Ways to Battle Demons of Playoffs Past

Relax Everything's going to be fine. For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else”". Saturday, April 18, 2009. Caps Finding Creative Ways to Battle Demons of Playoffs Past. Remember back when the Caps made that little run to the Stanley Cup Finals. Over a decade ago? Remember all that talk of burying demons of playoff failure past, specifically those particularly spiteful demons who would cause the choking away of 3-1 series leads? So, there may yet be a greater (subc...

Relax Everything's going to be fine. For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else”". Friday, May 1, 2009. Hope and Sanity From. Those were nice days, days in which we might have dreamed of the Pens merely being relegated to talk of moves to Kansas City, days in which they might have again been abandoned by their supposed non-fairweather fans. Who are of course superior to the all-bandwagon crowd filling Verizon Center. He made a trip to Washington. So, thank you, Barr...
