I’d argue 2015 stings worse for Nats fans than for Braves fans. We knew our team would blow. Maybe not quite losing-15-of-16 blow, but no sentient Bravos rooter thought this team would contend. By contrast, from Bruce Hooper to David Gregory, everybody who pulls for tough guy Matt Williams’ crew (he really put some backbone in that squad, didn’t he?) budgeted for playoff tickets in February.
Insert Nelson Muntz sound.
Be that as it may, it doesn’t make this part of the season any more fun to watch. Well, maybe it does a little, when the Braves are playing the Natspos, anyway.
