After taking a comfortable 6-0 lead early in last night's Game 5 showdown of the National League Divisional Series against the Cardinals, the Nationals probably felt as if they were a shoe-in for an NLCS match-up with the Giants. Then, the Cards made a dramatic comeback and eliminated the Nats from the playoffs with a 9-7 victory. If witnessing the collapse right before their eyes wasn't painful enough for Washington fans, all they needed to do was wait until the following morning.
At 7:01 AM, Nationals fans, including Tom B., received an email letting them know about an upcoming presale of World Series tickets. Just one problem: the team was just bounced from postseason contention. Hit the thumb to see a screengrab of the disheartening email and check out a transcript of the message below.
Your exclusive online-only World Series ticket presale will be held on Monday, October 15. As a Nationals Season Ticket Holder you will be offered this opportunity to purchase up to four (4) single game postseason tickets for each possible World Series home game using the one-time use password provided to you in this message.
