Little did Jonathan Papelbon know when he began this season that he would end it as a Washington National, not to mention that he would choke their season away. Even less foreseeable is that the choke would be a literal one, with Papelbon’s hand somehow ending up around the neck of golden boy Bryce Harper. Bram Weinstein & Marc Sterne muse on the unfortunate trend of the Nats adopting the inept characteristics of their crosstown football cousins. Bram records from his basement in Connecticut, and speaks candidly about the sad state of DC sports and its role in his decision to “turn the page” on a career move back to his hometown…for now. Then, the definitive debate on Pete Rose with SI’s Kostya Kennedy, author of “Pete Rose: An American Dilemma” in which we discuss whether or not Charlie Hustle finally deserves a shot at a Cooperstown ballot. Spoiler alert: He does. And finally… deviant, unsavory things we find compelling on the internet.
