ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Well, the hangover from the Washington Wizards’ and Washington Capitals’ early playoff exits didn’t last long, did it?
The cure? The 2015 version of the Washington Nationals — something different this town hasn’t experienced since the early days of the Washington Senators.
There’s a party on South Capital Street, and everyone seems to want an invitation — more than 150,000 fans came to Nationals Park for this five-game homestand.
If there is a hangover now, it’s because the Nationals went back on the road.
We’ve seen winning, first-place teams at Nationals Park before. We’ve seen large crowds before.
