I'm a huge Yankee fan. I didn't care that they didn't sign Harper, and when the Nats were making their way to the playoffs, I was pulling for them, because Bryce Harper was a douche, and instead of resigning with the Nats, or any other team outside of the NL East, he went to Philly. (I personally don't hate the Phillies, this is directly related to Harper)
Seeing as the Phils weren't moving on, and the Nats were slicing through the NL like a Samurai I felt it only fitting they be the bandwagon I was going to hop on in the NL. Hoping they Yankees would knock the Astros off, eventually they'd have to knock the Nats off and Bryce Harper wouldn't have missed out on a world series ring. BUT...
The Yankees lost, so I've poured my heart and soul into rooting for the Nationals to win it all. To bring that trophy to D.C. and have Harper with his fat stacks sitting there at home watching it. As he deserved to for leaving a team, the only one he'd known professionally, and a fanbase that adored him. To go to a division rival... For not an overwhelming contract that the Nats weren't even close to or anything.
So when the Nats win it all, doing it without Bryce Harper, I will be thrilled. Thrilled for the likes of Rendon, Soto, Scherzer, Doolittle, and the rest of the rag tag never say die Nats, and for their fanbase. Sticking it straight up Harper's keyster with all the passion and love that comes with a glory holes. Because of his Judas-like betrayal to the team, and the fans of the Nationals by going to an in-division rival for a little more money... He's now, along with the Phillies, cursed for the year. Not a Madden-esque curse where you have an injury, or just a flat out terrible year.... But in a way only baseball can. He will always have to wonder... Would he have won the series if he stayed?
I'm sure Girardi will do a great job there, and they could end up winning a ring with the talent they've got. But it won't ever be like the magic that's unfolding in front of us. Seeing his former team, and teammates, and the fans who once couldn't imagine a Harper-less OF in D.C. rocket to glory and immortality. But not him. Not his greedy, overhyped, overpriced "leadership"... This will be the season Harper will never forget (as long as the Nats can win 2 more, which I think they will). Because his 30 pieces of silver gutted him.
GO NATS!!!!
