There is no such thing as story of the decade.

As you read this, please don't forget that it's written by a guy who thinks Josh Hamilton's home run streak at Yankee Stadium ... during the HR Derby ... is one of the greatest moments in Yankee Stadium history:

"This all plays out a little over a month from when last season, and the last decade, ended with a tremendous World Series, won by the Washington Nationals in seven games after they trailed the Astros three games to two, and with the series returning to Minute Maid Park."

Which is a reminder that this is written by a guy who explained how important home field advantage is during the playoffs.


"So before we do turn the page, and before baseball does start making Hot Stove headlines, it is worth noting again that nobody had a better October in the past decade, not even the Cubs, than the Nationals did, starting with their National League Wild Card Game win against the Brewers."

No, I don't know what that could possible mean.

Every team that won the World Series had the Best October.

It's binary. You win or you do not win.


"Think of them as the Cubs without more than a century of waiting."

Then they're not the Cubs.

Follow?

The narrative is the same as the Cubs ... without the central theme that gave the Cubs a compelling narrative.


"Fact is, nobody ever had a better October in any decade."

Nobody ever had a better October in any decade than the Washington Nationals in 2019.

That's a "fact" according to the deranged author.


Then, there is a bunch of nonsensical interpretations of baseball games, by which the 2019 Nationals became the best October baseball team in the history of baseball.
