Kasten to Fans: Don’t Worry About the Big PictureThe Post
Washington Nationals president Stan Kastens was on Versus’s $ports Take the other night and had this to say:

We know that the record on the field is deplorable. And every night that you lose, no matter how many years I’ve been doing this, I still can’t sleep after a loss. So that’s hard. But it’s easier for me in some respects because I don’t have to focus just on the standings or just on the score, like fans do. That’s all that we need to ask them to do. They don’t have to pay attention to the other things. It’s not, you know, their job.

Maybe I’m weird, but when the team loses over 100 games two years in a row, taking a look at the big picture is about the only possible source of hope and a lot more palatable than the win-loss record.
