They beat the Brewers in the wild card game. They stunned the powerful Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series, then rode that momentum to victories over the Cardinals in the NL Championship Series and the Houston Astros in the World Series. That was a run for the ages. Ah, but look at the Nationals now. They are buried in the NL East cellar, just like the previous two seasons. They are waving the white flag from the top deck of Nationals Park. The Lerner family is looking to sell the franchise and president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo is holding still another bailout sale. Cardinal fans complain that their team hasn't been a serious postseason threat in recent years, but the Nationals remind them how the other half lives in baseball. ------------------------------------------------ 5 reporters weigh in on our national pastime at the end of the article....................
