Two years in a row now, the Nationals have lost at least 100 games, redefining the old maxim regarding Washington's place in war, peace and the baseball standings.
With their latest loss, a 7-6 defeat against the Dodgers Thursday night, the Nationals fell to 52-100, a mark nearly as ugly as the game itself. Eleven pitches into the night, they trailed 4-0.

Last time the baseball world bothered to look, the league's very worst team was an uncomplicated bunch, easy to lampoon.
