The Nationals lost their playoff game today. If you know which kid is mine in this picture, I’m guessing you can tell how he took it.
Right after this pic was taken the coach bought all the kids ice cream from the local street vendor. Because there were no snacks allowed this season, this was an extra big deal. Sad spirits were lifted and smiles were everywhere. Ryan walked over to us with his ice cream and almost all was forgotten. Until we got home and he dropped his ice cream on the ground before we got into the house. Today was not his day.
He’s characteristically taken losses pretty well over the years, but part of that might be because he was never really in that competitive of a league and never was on that competitive of a team. This league and this team were different. Hearts were definitely broken today.
