Congratulations are due to the Washington Nationals, who last night completed an improbable postseason run that included wins in five potential elimination games on their way to the first World Series victory in franchise history (including back to the Montreal years). Maybe for some, the fact that our Milwaukee Brewers were ousted by the team that eventually hoisted the trophy softens the blow of a late Wild Card game loss. Either way, the time has officially come to turn our attention over to the offseason.
This looks like it will be a pivotal winter for our beloved local nine.
