Welcome to Natstown!

It has been a while since I saw something worth linking in SOSH. But this long thread on the hapless 4-15 Washington Nationals is fantastic reading. Highlights include:

• The TV ads showing team highlights feature a dramatic win on a game-winning walk and this one time where one of their scrub pitchers beat John Smoltz.
• Julian Tavarez might be their most effective reliever.
• After a long rain-delay they finished a home game in front of maybe 84 people.
• They had players wearing home jerseys that read N-A-T-I-N-A-L-S, without the "O."
• They race mascots of the Mt. Rushmore presidents between innings; Teddy Roosevelt did not win a single time last year.

I hope someone somewhere is writing a book about this awful, awful team.
