The Washington Nationals: A Legacy of Failure (1969-2019) 

And now its dead. A new record shattered at eleven months after release. Be real, nobody saw this coming back in the summer. Don't lie.

You forgot to mention how in 1995 the Expos drafted a young and talented catcher straight out of high school. However said catcher turn them down so he could play college football. His name was Tom Brady

Who’s here after the Nationals win the World Series? 😁🥳 *THE LEGACY OF FAILURE IS BROKEN!!!!!* UrinatingTree has reverse jinxed another franchise.

I just think UrinatingTree is too good right now

...AAAAAAND now the Nationals are going to the World Series. *AND NOW THEY'RE CHAMPS!!!*

This video didn’t even age a year the Nationals won the 2019 World Series

Still waiting for a "The Cleveland Indians: Professional Baseball's Choking Hazard" vid

As a Mets fan I'm so ready

They may have won a world series, but this video is still HIGHLY relevant in 2022

Utree's to do list: - Seattle Mariners: A Legacy of Failure - Los Angeles Dodgers: A burning money machine - Colorado Rockies: An Arenado's legacy of joking - Tampa Bay Rays: A failure with a new stadium in Ybor city - Chicago White Sox: A see you next year tank story - Milwaukee Brewers: A Legacy of joking since Robin Yount

*Before video* Oh man, I've waited so long for this mocking! *Gets to the part of the late 90's* Oh... oh God.

"The Montreal Screw Job" line made this old wrestling fan pop huge. Almost as big as the No Mercy menu music you use every so often.

Knowing the Nats luck, MLB will revive the Expos who will then turn around and win the World Series before the Nats win a damn series.

Now we lay to rest yet another legacy of failure. 1968-2019 In an age of legacies of failure leaving us at a tremendous rate, the Nationals are the latest to embrace the sweet realease of death. May we always remember the memes, RIP

The Failure is OVER!!!!! WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS 2019!!!!!!

As a Reds fan, Dusty Baker deserves his own legacy of failure video. I'm sure Giants, Cubs and Nationals fans would agree.

This just makes their 2019 season all the more epic

Tree > Sunday Night Football

"We in the shitposting business call this the Montreal Screwjob." Nice WWE reference.

This has got to be the best Legacy of Failure you've ever done, Tree. Be proud of yourself.

A few days ago, I watched the D'backs vs Giants game. During the 2nd inning the bases were loaded and Brandon Belt stepped up to the plate. Before he started his at bat I jokingly said, "Agony thy name is Brandon Belt". Turned out that was a self-fulfilling prophecy. He hit a Grand Slam and I shouted that exact same quote.

If or when M.L.B. decides to expand again, Montreal DESERVES another shot at a competently-run professional team. Between the cavalcade of tightfisted/incompetent ownership the team dealt with and the crippling effects of the '94 strike on baseball in the area, it's the LEAST they can do.

I hate the Nationals but don’t go after the Expos😭

When are we getting a detroit lions video

The Offseason: Bryce Harper fucks off after you wasted his tenure. He goes to Philly for 13 years. Have fun Washington. April 2019: You Boo Bryce Harper in his return. He ends up pimping a massive homer to right centerfield, and gives us a memorable bat flip. Nationals fans ghost after that. May 2019: you are terrible. 19-31, Bullpen has an ERA over 7, and names like Rendon and Mad Max are rumored to be traded. It’s not looking good Washington. June 1st-All Star Break: You wake up and go 20-8 and are back in Playoff contention. Good Work boys. Second Half: You play great baseball, and clinch home field in the Wild Card game. Anthony Rendon put together an MVP Season, Steven Strausburg pitches like a god, Patrick Corbin is making you look good, Mad Max isn’t the same as he came back from the IL, but it’s Mad Max, your bullpen is not bad, Juan Soto put together a solid season, and you made a comeback from being 10-4 down to the Mets. Hopefully you can win a playoff game. 2019 Wild Card Game: Not a good start. The Brewers got three runs off Mad Max. Yasmani Grandal, & Eric Thames hit homers and the Brewers are shutting down the bats. Might as well fold and wait the inevitable. 8th Inning: You start a rally against the untouchable Josh Hader. Bases Loaded for Juan Soto. What does he do? He drives in all the runs, with an assist by Trent Grisham. You’re up. 9th Inning: You hold the lead and win a playoff game. Bad News though, you are facing the Dodgers. Not good. NLDS Game 1: Yikes. You get Shut Out by the Dodgers Juggernaut. Walker Buehler pitches a gem as Joc Pederson pimps one that would have landed in DC if the foul pole wasn’t there. Let’s see if you bounce back. Game 2: You indeed bounce back. You Jump all over Clayton Kershaw and win a close game 2. 1-1 back to DC. Get it done. Game 3: Strong Start. Nice. Juan Soto hits a 2 run Homer off Ryu, and Anibal Sanchez is pitching like a god. Maybe you can pull this off. 6th Inning: Yeah. That Inning. 7 runs off the Bullpen. Why did Davey Martinez bring in Patrick Corbin when Sanchez was dealing? let’s see what’s else is going on in the world...wait, why was there a DQ Inside Hell In A Cell? What do you mean Rollins went too far? Game 4: Your Down 1-0 after one inning. It’s happening isn’t it? Wait hold on, you blow out the Dodgers and push it to game 5. Mad Max pitches a gem, and you have the momentum. Bad News though, you’re facing Walker Buehler. You counter with Strausburg though. Game 5: Oh boy. Down 3-0, and Walker Buehler is dealing. Well great season boys. 7th Inning: You get Buehler out of the game. Dave Roberts brings in... Clayton Kershaw. Maybe there is a chance. 8th Inning: Kershaw goes full Kershaw and gives up Back to Back homers to Rendon and Soto... On back to back pitches. The hope is back. 10th Inning: HOWIE FUCKING KENDRICK. He redeems himself with a Grand Slam to put the game away, and the Dodgers hopes for a World Series. End of Game 5: Congrats Nats! You have done it. You won your first ever playoff series. And you did it against the Dodgers juggernaut. Everyone, point and laugh at the frauds that is the Dodgers. 😂 NLCS Game 1: Anibal Sanchez pitches another gem, matter of fact he almost pitches a No Hitter against the Cards. You win Game 1. NLCS Game 2: Mad Max Also pitches well. Also has a No Hitter in tact. You win Game 2, and head back home up 2-0. There is a chance you can clinch the Pennant at home. NLCS Game 3: You blow out the Cardinals, and are up 3-0. You could do this. You can clinch the pennant in 4 games. NLCS Game 4: This is it. You can clinch your first NL Pennant in franchise history. Do it. Make Bryce Harper eat a bag of shit. 1st Inning: You got two runs in the first. You might do this. the Cardinals forget how to defend. 3-0 Nats. Wait scratch that, it's 5-0 Nats. Wait, it's 7-0 Nats. 5th Inning: Patrick Corbin gives up 4 runs, but gets out of a tough situation. Hope your pen can finish it off End of Game 4: You did it. You made the World Series. You swept the Cardinals. 4 more wins and it erases all of the failures as the Expos, the mid to late 2000’s, The Postseason Failure in this decade, and most importantly, stick it to Bryce Harper and the Phillies by winning the World Series in the first year without Harper. Get it done. ALCS Game 6: Jose Altuve hits a Walk Off Clinching Home Run and Houston will be your opponent. Good God those Pitching Matchups will be 🔥🔥🔥 World Series Game 1: You are down 2-0 early, but you Score 5 runs off the Untouchable Gerrit Cole and Steal Game 1. Juan Soto has himself a game, and the Original National goes deep. Nice Win. Game 2: It’s another pitching classic between two of the best. They got off to rough starts but have settled in. It might come down to whoever scores first. 7th Inning: My Goodness. Kurt Suzuki starts the beatdown. He hits a long homer off Verlander and you score 6 unanswered runs. You’re up 8-2. You might beat Cole & Verlander. Get it done. End of Game 2: You blow out Houston. 12-3. You’re up 2-0 heading back home. It’s been over 80 years since the World Series has been in our nations capital. Anibal Sanchez is going for you. I expect a good game. Game 3: Zack Grienke, and the Astros bullpen Shut down the Bats, and Houston is on the board in the series. Good thing for you is that you have Patrick Corbin going in game 4, while Houston is gonna use their bullpen. This is a golden opportunity to take a 3-1 lead in the series and push the Astros to the brink of Elimination and win your first ever Championship. Game 4: And it looks like you’re gonna take the piss. Alex Bregman hits a massive Grand Slam off of Fernando Rodney in the 7th inning. Yep, this is probably gonna be a 2-2 tie heading into Game 5. Good News Though, you have Max Scherzer going. Bad News, you’re going against Gerrit Cole. Game 5: Looks like Max Scherzer is out. Joe Ross is in. He allows two homers, the Umpires make some stupid ass calls, and George Springer hits a dagger in the Ninth. You’re going back down 3-2. It’s all on Strausburg, let’s see how he responds. Game 6: A Back and fourth affair is happening. You Score one in the first, Houston responds with two. Alex Bregman pimps a Homer and gives the bat to the first base coach. You respond with home runs by Adam Eaton and Juan Soto in the fifth, and Soto responds to Bregman. I expect a good finish 7th inning: What the Fuck is Going On? Why did they call Trea Turner out on a bogus interference call? These Fucking Umpires man. Wait hold on, Anthony Rendon pimps a Homer. All of that bullshit is forgotten. Game 7: Yuli Gurriel gets one off Max Scherzer, Carlos Correa follows suit in the 5th. Zack Grienke is looking untouchable. Not Good. 7th Inning: Anthony Rendon gets one off Grienke and he's taken out. Howie Kendrick steps up. Let's see what he does..... HOLY FUCKING SHIT. HE DID IT AGAIN. HOWIE FUCKING KENDRICK COMES UP CLUTCH, AND YOU'RE UP 3-2. Can you break the LOF? End of Game 7: It’s Over. You Broke the Legacy of Failure. It was pretty fast too. You have gone from nearly firing Dave Martinez to the top of the baseball mountain.

Not even out and someone disliked. Probably a nationals fan.

As a proud Québécois, I appreciate the use of Tabarnak. Merci, beaucoup.

I’m watching this (again) while drinking champagne and wearing my World Series champions t-shirt. I’m enjoying myself almost as much as when I re-watched your Caps videos back in 2018. Thanks for everything you do for us down here in DC.

2019 Offseason: You lose Bryce Harper but at least acquire Patrick Corbin. Time to rebuild? 2019 early in the season: Dear christ your bullpen is just AWFUL and you are getting handed to in the NL East 2019 Septemeber: Wow look at you guys, you have officially made the playoffs. Gotta say, job well done 2019 NL WC: Wow, you have officially shocked the Brewers and their closer in Hader, let's see if you can shock the NL 2019 NLDS: WTF am I watching? The team has OFFICIALLY MADE IT TO THE NLCS BY STUNNING THE DODGERS IN THEIR BUILDING IN AN ELIMINATION GAME?! AM I DREAMING? 2019 NLCS: To be continued haha

1994 champs.

1994, The World Series That Never Was.

2012 was the peak and valley of my sports fandom. The nats were so dope but more than any of the cool stuff they did, I remember holding back grown-man tears as I threw my nlcs tickets in the garbage. Storen fucking haunts my dreams. Not only that, but Alfred Morris and RGIII were the two most fun players in the league. I was at that game against the seahawks and when RGIII got hurt, some guy turned to me and said, "well that's the end of his career". I called him an idiot to his face. 😪

Can't wait for Monday night tankbowl!

2019: You beat the Brewers in the NL Wild Card round in thrilling fashion after being down 3-1 at the bottom of the 8th. Now in the NLDS, you're going to face the top-seeded 106-win Dodgers, a team you're very familiar with in the playoffs whenever you face them: lead the series 2-1, only to collapse. In a rematch of the 2016 NLDS, will you win your first playoff series in 38 years or will it be another chapter in your legacy of failure?

Karl Malone: Mormon Country's Legacy of Failure

October 30th, 2019: the Washington Nationals are World Champions, thus terminating the Legacy of Failure.

What pisses me off is that the Nationals in 2019 have no plans to pay homage to the Expos even though 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the Expos' inception.

YESS! YOUR FINALLY MADE THIS!!

At least Washington has a championship in the 21st century.

November 11 2018, The day my heart sank as a nationals fan seeing a legacy of failure video on them after only 15 years. Atleast the Caps finally won the cup and the nats still have a future in Juan Soto, Victor Roblez, and Trae Turner

Who’s here after the Nationals won the World Series?!?

First, the Blues. Then, the Raptors. Now, the Nats. This has truly been a year of breaking Legacies of Failure.

1998 World Series: Holy Shit, Tim Raines has another ring with the Yankees!

I’m not gonna lie you don’t jinx yourself with these videos, you just set the mood for great comeback stories. Great content keep it coming!

2019 Nats=WORLD SERIES BOUND EDIT: 2019 Nats=WORLD SERIES CHAMPS

Everyone that is not a Nationals fan has failed No Nut November.

When you think about it, the 1990s Expos assuming they had success without the strike fucking it up, they could have been like the 1970s A's where they formed a dynasty from their talents they had produced (and a fleecing of the Dodgers some years before that). Really sucks to be the Expos.

in less than 24 month 3 legacy of failure videos have become obsolete. I salute you sir for your videos have aided in making the sports world less predictable and entertaining to watch, not easy to bet on though.

Ah yes, the Walgreens sponsor!

2019 yesterday the nationals beat the dodger in the nlds

Hard to believe the Expos traded both Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson during the 90’s. What could’ve been, damn

This video went from being debunked to immediately being correct again the span of 3 years

Please do one for the Seattle Mariners

So let’s go over the legacies of failure that have been broken in the past 2 years. 2017: The Eagles win their first Super Bowl and the Astros win their first World Series 2018: The Capitals win their first Stanley Cup 2019: The Raptors win their first Championship, the Blues win their first Stanley Cup, and now the Nationals win their first World Series Title. Yeah. A lot of narratives have been broken in the past 2 years. What a time to be alive.

When's the Mariners Legacy of Failure coming?

As a Dodger fan..do the Dodgers next 😂

As of October 30, 2019, this video is now outdated. Congrats to the Nationals for ending their Legacy of Failure!

I legit rooted for the Nats until the decision to shut down Strasburg. Just struck me as hubris to the highest degree that they assumed they'd have a wide open window for years and could afford punting such a golden chance. No morons, grasp at those straws with all of your might and don't give up without a fight. You never know when your window will close, you can't afford to deliberately sabotage your chances!

Bryce Harper is just to good right now

The expos story was a tragedy the nationals story is a comedy

Miss the Expos.... ☹️ They had so much character. Great times as a kid watching them on CBC tv . In the 70s and 80s. Expos forever!

Breaking news: NATIONALS WON A SERIES AGAINST LOS ANGELES DODGERS!!!!!

Looked at the date this was released and realized it was safe for me to watch this and enjoy the Cardinals highlights. I wasn't even mad the Cards got swept by them in 2019 though. I was still riding high from the Blues FINALLY winning the Cup (and kicking boston in the teeth in game 7 to do so). Congrats to the Nationals and their fans for that 2019 championship, you all deserved it after what you went through to get there.

(ethereal music playing) "You DID IT! You made THE WORLD SERIES. Finally, a chance to shed the miserable 'choker' label once and for all and emerge as a champion! You have exceeded every expectation placed upon you and have a chance to enter the halls of greatness. Every single failure finally swept clean and a chance to avenge your fallen comrades back to the days of the Expos. Get it done. Yeah, I ripped this off from the Sharks LoF video, but I feel it applies. EDIT: Unlike the Sharks, the Nationals do not get outplayed due to a stubborn manager and slay the freaking Astros. Have a nice day!

Quickest legacy of failure to become outdated, Congratulations Nats

Since the Nationals won in 2019… That Cinderella run to the World Series title was especially important, because it ended up being their last chance at a title with their current core. They are currently attempting “the plan” again, but they paid dearly by being forced to trade superstar Juan Soto to the Padres after failing to give him a contract extension. Meanwhile, Dusty Baker is about to break his own Legacy of Failure. Unfortunately, it’s with the Astros.

So let me get this straight, Dusty Baker is the MLB equivalent of Bruce Boudreau, got it.

the pain of being a nats fan

Papeldouche. Beautiful.

Miss the expos so much yo, best ticket prices ever at the Olympic

One more time watching this video before it becomes irrelevant.

MOVE ASIDE SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!! TIME TO GRAB POPCORN AND ENJOY THIS SHOW!!

Well they made the World Series, not bad.

The 94 Expos could’ve been something.

Please also revisit ESPN in the near future

This aged beautifully.

Haha this is the first thing I thought of after the Nats won

Came back after the Nationals won it all. Makes the joy that much better

Papelbon trying to choke out his teammate is the entire Expos/Nats franchise summed up in video form.

As a Washington sports fan... this has been due.

Who else came here after the Nats finally got past the NLDS?

Good job Tree, ur prediction was actually right this time, you didn’t jinx the nationals 👍🏻

As a wrestling fan, I enjoy the Montreal Screw job name drop more than I should.

6:29 at this exact moment in time, Bret Hart becomes incredibly furious but can't explain why

Dusty baker legacy of failure

This aged like 2% milk

Four legacies of failure broken in just under 2 years. Eagles, Captials, Blues and now the Nationals. Think we might get another one eventually?

Kind of ironic now watching this when the nationals are headed off to the World Series

This one's in jeopardy now. Why are all the legacies of failures ending? Washington sports might have 3 championships in two years

The Nats are about to ruin Trees career.

Bryce Harper... Where have I heard that name before...? Oh right! In Philadelphia!

We all know UT is famous for his curses, but little did we know that this video here would end up being a blessing. You love to see it

I’m here after the 2019 NLDS win over the favorited Dodgers. :)

UrinatingTree: Make a LOF video His victims: YES, we are about to win it all!

16:40 “WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE! HOW THE FUCK DID BUD BLACK TURN INTO DUSTY BAKER?! GOD, IT’S LIKE YOU WANT TO FAIL!”
