Bum Beimel Rips Uncaring Nats Fans!
You're probably right, Joe: Nats fans probably haven't given you a hard enough time for sucking this season. But before we continue, did we mention we loved your work against Pablo Sandoval out in San Francisco in May? That was awesome.
Buried in a story story by the Washington Post's Paul Schwartzman about the commitment of loyal Nats fans in the face of the piss-poor product on display at Nationals Park, Joe Beimel suggests that Nats fans don't care enough -- because most choose to cheer on the team - rather than give the team "a hard time" at home games. See Joe's quote above.
But surely we can address Joe's concerns, Nats fans. This is a call to arms!
First, join the Nationals Enquirer in lovingly Booing Joe Beimel each and every time he steps onto the field at Nationals Park for the rest of the season - or until he returns to LA, whichever happens first.
Then, join The Nationals Enquirer for an upcoming "Nationals Enquirer Brown Bag Night" at Nationals Park (date TBD), where we'll all get together wearing paper bags on our heads while we cheer on the home team and heartily boo that bleeping stiff, Joe Beimel. More details to follow.

Nationals Enquirer Brown Bag Night? El Rey will buy a ticket for that game. I’ll put an upside down Curly W on my bag. Beware stadium security though. They are like Nazis in Nats Land. Give some guys a clipboard and a little authority and it goes to their head. Beimel does have a point. The D.C. area crowd is too politically correct and is almost too afraid to Boo except when W threw out the first pitch last year. Most Nats fans are wimps! They would stand by and watch their wives and kids get slapped around by street thugs outside the stadium. Believe it or not, there are still some Nats fans that believe in “The Plan”.

I for one agree with Joe...most of the fans DON'T care. They arrive in 4th inning, leave after the 7th and spend most of the time in between running their yaps. I'll bet if you quizzed all the fans sitting in the stadium during the middle of the game and asked them to tell you the score without looking at the scoreboard less than half of them would answer correctly.
It's pathetic.

i agree with beimel, nats fans are a bunch of losers just like their team! Send that team back to canada where they belong. Canadians aren't baseball fans they have an excuse not to care!

Joe Beimel is the best thing to happen to the Nats!!! It's true - when I went to a few Nats games in DC, you couldn't tell who the home team was. Visitor teams fans went crazy while Nats fan seemed apathetic. Go #97!!!!!
