The National League East has been a crazy roller coaster ride. Nothing has been what we expected … well, except the Marlins sucking.
The Braves expected to sell lots of “Upton Here, Upton Here” shirts, but instead have the most popular plumber ever. The Nationals aren’t the presumed winners after all. And, the Mets and Phillies are actually fun to watch, thanks to a couple of young bucks.
We could break this article down in spreadsheets or have some fun with some ha-ha pictures. So here is the latter.
Washington Nationals – Here’s a theory for you. The Nationals were strong picks to win last year’s World Series and this year’s. Right after clinching the division last season, the Nationals let Teddy Roosevelt win the mascot Presidential Race for the first time. Mess with a streak and a curse happens. Will the Nationals ever win the World Series? Only the Baseball Gods know for sure.
