Number 00 looks good after off-season

The Nationals have updated their mascot, Screech, for 2009. Though many people say they don’t see a difference in the costumes I couldn’t disagree more.

The old costume looked like it was made in the 1920’s as some kind of depression-era breadline propaganda - it was tattered, smelled like eggs, and was faded a dingy color of shit.  The old Screech was also an insufferable fatass, which isn’t helping the image of a team with a largely mediocre-looking fan base. The new Screech however is hip, athletically slender (Obama-like in fact), and his colors shine like he has been freshly Oxycleaned. It also appears that Screech is now officially male, something we were uncertain of with the Mother Hen complex of the old costume. Perhaps also important to note is that the new Screech has donned a happier expression and sports a much wider and larger open mouth than the old one, presumably this is so the bird can suck all the other 29 MLB teams’ cocks at the same time.

Now THAT is a major league baseball costume suited for a last place franchise.

    Def either crystal meth or a tummy tuck. No way he worked that hard in the off season…….maybe he’s juicing.

    screech has been seen doing lines of blow and carrying around a camel-bac of redbull with lindsey lohan. i read it on the internets, it has to be true.

    Screech just got through a bout with bone cancer and lost 45 pounds during chemo-therapy treatments. Why do you think he wears a hat all the time?
