Seriously, how loving sad is it to be a Nationals fan?

the eagles lost 3 nfc championship games in a row. the bills lost 4 super bowls in a row.

the nats have lost 4 times in a row in the NLDS (3 of them in game 5)

I think the nats are worse than either of those two. good god.

how?

“If a batter strikes at a ball and misses and swings so hard he carries the bat all the way around and, in the umpire’s judgment, unintentionally hits the catcher or the ball in back of him on the backswing, it shall be called a strike only (not interference). The ball will be dead, however, and no runner shall advance on the play.”

the Caps/Nats woes are even worse when you look at how often they've finished in 1st in the regular season.

it's a never ending nightmare and i hope that some day they get over it because that is true torture. if your team just sucks all the time you can get used to it. getting close and failing is worse.

except the skins. they can go 0-16 forever
