Dear Washington Nationals,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You closed Five Guys and are building Shake Shack in Nationals Park? Copy cats! \u00a0If you take our Brooklyn beers, I’ll be furious. \u00a0Let me guess, it was all Alex Cora’s idea?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Should I be talking about your actual team? \u00a0Is there actually anything to talk about? \u00a0You’re going to finish last, it’s just a matter of how badly. \u00a0Oh, I know, you’ve got a shiny new slugger in right field stolen away from the Phillies. \u00a0Kudos on making them a weaker team, that should help us out. \u00a0I’m sorry you still have to pay him that much money in 2018. \u00a0Don’t worry though, those draft picks you got when Steven Strasburg left for free agency will probably be reaching the majors right around then and won’t be making much money.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At least your team isn’t _completely_ horrible this year. \u00a0Maybe you can play spoiler and beat up on the Braves and Phillies a bit in September. \u00a0Still, you’ll have to pitch and I’ve seen a better rotation in batting practice. \u00a0Livan Hernandez and Jason Marquis should fun to face this year. \u00a0The Mets couldn’t have a better Opening Day opponent.<\/p>\n
