OF THE GRAYS

" OUR WHITE POWER GROUP WILL NEVER AGREE "

Here's a strange Box for you
   
  correction very original Box

we're here to tell you WHY

Washington's Nationals are

WORST team in Baseball

IT'S THE  CURSE !!

You long time Box readers yes there  are so many you should remember - and thank God it's such a young  audience we have - most of you are not suffering from Alzheimer's and  should remember our campaign right here in the Box ......

.......... to have the Montreal  franchise back in 2004 moving to Washington DCnamed the GRAYS in honor  of the greatest team in Baseball history out of the Negro Leagues a  team which played for years in DC yes in the very same stadium as the  then MLB Senators.

well we FAILED miserably

OR DID WE ......

In the three seasons this transplanted  team with ALL the money in the world to spend and the newest stadium in  the Majors under its new Fat Cat Insider Washington Power Broker Owner  these Washington named Nationals are PATHETIC. As of the end of play  yesterday Sunday the most PATHETIC team in the Majors HOPELESSLY buried  in LAST place with the WORST record in the Majors the ONLY team in the  Majors playing BELOW .400.

Here is their "record" (sic)

34 Wins 56  LOSSES

their percentage .378

nursing  a 5 game

LOSING streak

Go ahead BET on them finishing LAST in  the NL East. It is guaranteed. They canceled a promotional game this  season against a local sandlot team of 8 year olds because they feared  losing ( yes we made that up ). They should consider badminton or  bowling as alternative sport to compete in. That is very true. So what  is the Problem.

They meaning Major League Baseball along with the entire DC Power Structure and a few influential bought  and paid for African American DC officials like FORMER Mayor Anthony  Williams all "conspired" to insure the NEW team would not be named the  GRAYS as so many in the BLACKEST city in America were clamoring for.

Instead we got the obnoxious self  flattering air bag name the Nationals supposedly in the believe that as  the team in the nation's capital they would attract fans NATIONALLY  right Washington DC the most popular city in America ( don't stop  laughing ).

But that was never the REAL reason.  The fact is IF the team was named the Washington GRAYS that would have  assured them a true NATIONAL fan base identifying with the LEGENDARY  Negro Leagues. Even more there would have been an MLB team to inspire  African Americans back to Baseball as players no matter the obstacles  and as fans in large numbers.

But of course we've just

told you exactly WHY

the team was NOT

going to be named

The GRAYS we'll

in return let DC

live with their

CURSE

of the Grays

unless they

wake up
