That's the part that irks me most. Whatever big market team wins this farce of a season will get all the press and hoopla next season, and the Nats will be utterly forgotten.
Unless it's the White Sox, in which case ESPN will continue to pretend they don't exist, or the Astros, in which case Manfred will turn on the frantic spin machine to create some stupid redemption story.
I mean, thinking about the likely playoff teams, ESPN is going to be pretty annoyed if it's not a Yankees-Dodgers or Yankees-Cubs series.
