Should auld acquaintance be forgot?
They’re all on other teams!
Through trading or free agency
The current team is lean.
The NL East will be a beast,
For now and years to come,
But Nationals (and Marlins, too)
Just haven’t got much done.
Rizz signed some guys, some bargain buys
Of “hopeful” quality.
Break-even year would bring a cheer
Cross fingers, wait and see.
With these guys, don’t be surprised
If some games get away.
And yet the ownership expects
That fans show up and pay.
The fans will come for Opening Day
Because that’s what fans do.
But through the year with less to cheer
They’ll dwindle to a few.
As memories fade of the parade
Nats fans are feeling blue.
We’ll watch the new guys and retreads
To see what they can do.

Fill the blog with speculations
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Fans bewail their tribulations.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Don we now our garb from ’19.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Seems like a long time—it has been!
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
See the Hot Stove blaze before us,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Please ignore the doomsday chorus.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Follow Steve in merry measure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
While we seek off-season treasure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Fast away the old team passes
Fa, la, la, la, la, la-la, la, la!
Hail the new ye lads and lasses!
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Still we wait for better weather
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
For the game of wood and leather.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
