Let me start off by saying to those who voted for the Nationals, "how bout a hug?"
So maybe it wasn't an upset for the ages, and maybe it was just grabbing at straws by adopting a team and having fans vote. But it still came down to late Sunday night until the voting all got squared away. The Seattle Mariners crushed the hopes and dreams of local Iowans, Bryce Harper lovers, and Washington Nationals fans everywhere by making a late push for victory in the first edition of the WRNL Adopt a Team poll.
